I’m sure

If I was king for a day I’d audit them into oblivion and rebuild the corp from scratch, I’m with you

Have you tried giving the MTA even less money to see if it makes the stations cleaner? You should try that next

Insanity.

Don’t get me wrong, the MTA is mismanaged, but their budget is low for their circumstances. It just is.

It’s why it looks so insanely shitty all the time.

I wish, I’m sure it’s huge

Oh there’s substantial failures in both categories

Montreal (STM) has the best run subway system in North America and it costs about 2 billion per year. So let’s use it as an example of value for money.

MTA is about 399km STM is about 70km

MTA has about 500 stations STM has about 60

MTA operates more types of trains, has longer service hours, and runs on older more expensive tracks.

MTA’s budget should be FAR larger.

23 billion for a system that large is fucking embarrassing. And that’s why the stations are embarrassing.

Everyone complains until math gets involved.

It definitely isn’t, there’s no way the stations would look the way they do if it was.

New York has the most disgusting stations of any metro I’ve ever been to. I’m sure there are worse out there, but I’ve never seen any worse with my own eyes.

It's moments like this that really test my commitment to opposing the death penalty.

Jackass 3D is still my favorite 3D movie experience by far

I think we’re gonna get along jussssssst fine hahahaha I loved that movie

Your username makes me think you might be... um, "not into this type of movie"

You may not be the target audience

They never consider the depth.

This is not a NYC problem exclusively.

My Métro station in Montreal is four escalators below ground, one of which is the second longest escalator in Canada.

Ottawa just finished the Rideau station, which after DC, has the longest escalator in North America.

It’s a single station with no shopping or arena at the top, and both are like 12 min to ground level.

It’s fucking ridiculous. And that’s just baby subway systems in Canada and they still fuck this up.

A testament to your country’s education system

I’d rather be milquetoast and smart than stupid and entertaining.

America in 2023, everyone

I’m saying they’re an idiot

Only an American would make that stupid fucking comment, so your question was answered

No.

India doesn’t fear Russia.

I made $12 an hour in Toronto framing pictures for fancy galleries. I’d get shipping manifests for 80-100$ million, no joke, and then go home and eat rice and green onions.
