Oh my god, is this these even serious? NY transit is bad so all public transit is bad. Holy s*t fellow Americans, LEAVE THE COUNTRY FOR A FEW DAYS.

I just freaking can NOT. Cognitive dissonance, self delusional and denial, what is it? Whatever it takes to avoid realizing how utterly stupid so many day-to-day aspects of American life are due to larger decisions about social welfare, including basic public transit.

I don't know what this guy is talking about. Subway in NYC has some annoyances but works pretty well most of the time.

It is quite slow compared to other cities with metro I visited. I think mainly due to too many stops. On some parts I got impression than metro platforms take more than 30% of the line fragment which is ridiculous.

Yeah it can depend. Especially on weekends. Sometimes it just makes sense to take get a ride.

One city, and it's not even that good.

Shout out, never seen a +13 flagged into oblivion, I'll take that as a compliment.
