Yeah, I am somewhat baffled that the city I live in (Ostrava), a rust-belt city which lost 15 % of its population since 1990 (and a nontrivial share of that loss were high earners who moved to adjacent suburbia, taking their tax money with them), somehow has much cleaner, nicer and safer public transport than the richest metropolitan areas of the US, with their massive GDP advantage. The passengers may be a bit uncouth (the upper half of the society tends to drive here instead of riding public transport), but the system is still unflinchingly reliable and comfortable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELtfOekhkcw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELtfOekhkcw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMMnSwZWmKw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMMnSwZWmKw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRrzgDIwgo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRrzgDIwgo
