Penn Station Could Get Worse

It's staggering to spend time in some of the US's biggest transit hubs - LAX, Penn, the NYC airports, and then go and spend time in some around the world.

The US has a lot of catching up to do on it's basic infrastructure.

The NYC airports are strange because certain terminals are fantastic at all three airports, and other are glorified Greyhound stations.

LaGuardia is funny because you go to terminal C and D, newly renovated with nice restaurants and fancy tablets at every table

...Or you could walk 10 feet to terminal A and B and get drenched by the gallon of water leaking out of the ceiling

Those leaking ceilings are almost to the point where they could be classified as NYC landmarks...

In general, most US airports are pretty bad, but I'll avoid Terminal 1 at JFK at whatever cost. It's by far the worst airport terminal I've been to in my life.

I read this week that each of JFK's terminals is run as it's own separate entity. If your flight goes to Terminal 4, and Terminal 4 has some issue or is overloaded, you can't go to any other terminal because they don't talk to each-other.

Reminds me of the Joe Biden speech a couple years back:

> If I took you and blindfolded you and took you to LaGuardia Airport in New York, you'd think, ‘I must be in some third-world country.’
