New York lost. Look @ the line ppl had to wait on to catch a bus because 2/3 trains weren’t running

[Creflo ½ Dollar]

Yall do realize Americas shytty public transportation is by design right?

Read up on it. To bring in the age of the personal automobile, congress sided with companies like Ford and GM to help them purchase rail companies and train companies. Once they did, they destroyed all the tracks and the train cars.

They fight every single public transportation upgrade across the country as this would hurt their bottom line and the government is complicit in it.

And when the economy was failing, they were being bailouts as being deemed "too big to fail". The inventor of Lyft talked about how American car companies still lobby the government against ridesharing.

Fake capitalism... corney shyt

I got to look into that...

Preciate the info...

It's far from perfect but NYC is generally ranked amongst the top 10 best metro systems in the world.

Light years ahead of whatever bumfukk, irrelevant places MANY of y'all stay in

The only more impressive transit systems I've used extensively are the London Underground and Tokyo Metro...and those don't even have 24 hr coverage.

I guess you never been to Seoul

No bums or crazy people bothering you

 

[itsyoung!!]

Amtrak probably the greatest example of how far we are behind the rest of the world.

You also had Christie nixing plans for another tunnel for political reasons. shyts a mess.

The other tunnel could have been open by now, and now everyone wants to play the blame game because that's how screwed up everything is.

This is what mass transit gets you and at the same time, they're making it harder to drive, removing lanes, raising tolls, adding cameras, eliminating parking spots ... all so you can depend on unreliable mass transit.

In reality: No other city has more people willing to sacrifice everything to pay top dollar just to live there

On the Coli: I fukkIng HatE NoO YeRK

I live here it’s a garbage city and people who claim its goat are either born here with all family ties or can’t move out so lie to themselves. Only foreigners and 20 year old female dream of living here and that’s most Manhattan. Counting down days until I’m out of this place.

They shut down trains at nights or on weekends to fix the tracks while employing shuttle buses to carry folks to their stations.

It’s not a perfect system but adding context to that pic.

MTA has the hardest job. If anything there’s a wider discussion about the state of American infrastructure but the MTA has it rough. MTA has support a metro area of 20M, 24/7, in one of the oldest cities in America. People bytch when they opt to fix a line, they bytch when they raise fares. Trains and buses are the only logical way to have the city running and they can’t be down for extended periods. MTA is probably 20/30 years behind what it should be. If they take down one of these lines to update them, real estate developers, residents and drivers will complain and the media feeds on that.

All the native NYers I know are leaving or planning to leave, it’s yall people coming here from the south and Midwest who keeping coming here. City hasn’t been the same for a while but it’s hard to get the kind of money and freedom you have here in other places.

MTA and NYCHA are just incompetent..

I told this story on here before..

They had the 2 line running on the 5 line and the 5 running on the 2 one weekend

It needs a complete overhaul as far as braintrust

Look into General Motors and the destruction of the Streetcar in Chicago and LA

And lemme find the podcast with the Inventor of Lyft. He speaks on this heavy. He even says that "You would think my biggest competitor would be Uber right? No, its American car companies."

 

[old pig]

this will never not be funny LOL!

 

[TEH]

I’m gonna fix a lot of this shyt when I’m mayor.

Pops would be proud
