Go to tokyo or even london and see what a world class transit system is really like.

The Subway is shit and it always has been since I was born. It is dirty, unreliable (Especially if you live in the outer boroughs), and inefficient. Since it is the only alternative to driving or biking we are all forced to tolerate it.

I'm happy for you finding the system nice but having used it my whole life then seeing what places like tokyo have? Yeah fuck the subway.

Try living somewhere with no viable public transportation at all like a majority of the rest of the US, your opinion might change a little

Right i should be perfectly satisfied with the absolutely subpar service the MTA provides because its better than literally nothing.

At the same time I get taxed up the ass to enjoy the privilege of said shit service in the richest city in the world.

Amazing 👏

Oh so there’s no middle ground between “the subway is perfect” and “fuck the subway” for you?

Clean , reliable, and efficient.

At least 2 of those should be true for the public transportation system in the richest city in the world at minimum. We currently have none , and if the bar is that low excuse me for being unsatisfied.

London is not end all be all. I would put it on par with NYC. It has its own set of issues as well. Tokyo - yes, agree.
