Reply to comment by volkommm in MTA spent twice as much on Second Ave subway consultants as it did on its construction by NYY657545

Again, wrong. I mean, that's barely true if you only count the subway system inside Paris, which would compare to the weekly ridership of the NY subway in Manhattan only. The RER system that goes in the suburbs is as wide as the subway lines in BK, Queens and Bronx.

Ok, facts now:

  • Daily ridership of Paris subway system: 4.1 million a day
  • Daily ridership of NY subway system: 2.4 million a day

You have to stop repeating these "facts" you heard without checking sources...

Don't compare the whole system. Compare just the ridership of an improvement per people who use it.

Your ridership stats are also incorrect. Nice facts, idiot.

Stop trying to own people on Reddit when it comes to topics you just Google for five seconds to verify.

Stop trying to tell a Parisian who's been living in NY for decades how the Parisian system works 😂 The "facts" you Google are only about the subway inside Paris. That's like Manhattan. Queens, Brooklyn and The Bronx are like the Parisian suburbs, where we have the RER network and the Transilien network going there. Anyone living in the suburbs commutes using these all the time and they're included in the monthly pass. Look it up.

If you want the mileage data:

  • Parisian Subway: 365 miles of track
  • Parisian RER: 141 miles of track
  • Parisian Transilien: 807 miles of track
  • NY subway: 665 miles of track

Ok so let's compare French light rail to the subway? It's a glorified bus service lol. Compare heavy rail to heavy rail, which is what is being compared. Of course suburban light rail will be cheaper than SAS 2 lol.
