Try London.
- davidmathers 17y agoI have.
- maryrosecook 17y agoA frequently running bus anywhere in the city for £1. Super-fast, mostly reliable Underground to most places that people call London for £2.
- dagw 17y agoI was in London a few month ago and had to pay something like £4 to take the tube 3 stops. So either prices have dropped, I got screwed or your numbers are off.
- sharpn 17y agoYou got screwed. The cash single fare is about double the incremental fare using an 'oyster' card.
- jedc 17y agoYep, you got screwed. Next time pay the £3 for an Oyster card, and save a TON of money. Whether you pay trip-by-trip or a travelcard for a day/week/etc, Oyster is WAY less expensive.
- padmapper 17y agoYeah, in London currently, did a double take when I saw the difference between Oyster and standard fare. The standard fare is absurd, whereas oyster puts it on par with NYC (and has the very nice feature of acting as a la carte until you reach a maximum for the day, at which point it effectively becomes a day pass).
- pistoriusp 17y agoOr Munich.
- ido 17y agoOr most large cities in central, northern & western Europe.
- sharpn 17y agoTokyo & Singapore both have excellent public transport networks (at least until around 11:30pm)
- khafra 17y agoSeoul and Hong Kong are pretty damned impressive to a USAian, too.
- elblanco 17y agoI like Seoul, NYC, D.C., Tokyo, London, Paris and Barcelona myself.
- holograham 17y agoagree with DC, best in the US
- elblanco 17y agoThe brutalist architecture can be grating after a while. And the lack of dual-tracking makes a breakdown anywhere in the system a minor catastrophe. It also seems a hair expensive compared to other municiple transit systems in other cities, and the service outside of D.C. should have grown much faster, a long time ago. But the stations are very well maintained, very safe, and the system is free of trash, graffiti, beggers (for the most part) and other annoyances and safety issues.
