By annual ridership, the New York City Subway is the busiest rapid transit system in both the Western Hemisphere and the Western world, as well as the eleventh-busiest rapid transit rail system in the world.[18] The subway carried 1,793,073,000 riders in 2022.[6]: 2 [note 5] On October 29, 2015, more than 6.2 million people rode the subway system, establishing the highest single-day ridership since ridership was regularly monitored in 1985.[20]

The system is also one of the world's longest. Overall, the system contains 248 miles (399 km) of routes,[10] translating into 665 miles (1,070 km) of revenue track[10] and a total of 850 miles (1,370 km) including non-revenue trackage.[11] Of the system's 28 routes or "services" (which usually share track or "lines" with other services), 25 pass through Manhattan, the exceptions being the G train, the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, and the Rockaway Park Shuttle.

The NYC system was built a century ago and operates at an astonishing level considering its for one city and is so relatively inexpensive.

Of all things America sucks at, the NYC subway is not the thing to attack. Fuck cars

I love propaganda I love propaganda I love propaganda I love propaganda

In all of Vietnam there are currently two active metro lines, one of which is only partially complete.

I hope it improves. Many lines are under construction but all of the projects have been plagued by delays for years.

But why would you include this as an example here?

Talk about cherry picking lmao

make better agi prop, the US has the most gorgeous metro system in the world. Facts dont care about your feelings. (If you dont like brutalist architecture you probably wont like it and I'm sorry)

You forgot London Subway.

Bad meme, id you want to dunk on the US find a better angle than obvious propaganda.

Having worked for the MTA on the subway system years back, I invite you all to remember that we built one of the very first subway systems in the world, definitely first in scale, knowing we'd make mistakes in implementation, along with a lot of successful ideas.

Everyone else learns from our mistakes, we gladly hosted the engineering team from Los Angeles and Bangkok when they wanted to share notes with us.

With almost 200miles/320km of public tracks, this is easily the most successful mass transit system internationally. "BuT gWaFiTi BaD :( "

Give it a rest, posers.

Honestly, I care less about how a subway station looks than how the system itself works and its coverage. Unfortunately the US has neither. If we want to fix one thing, its function and coverage, not aesthetic.

NYC subway isn't that bad, yeah it's not mind blowing but it works and when you need to commute that's all that matters

NYC subway rats will fuck you up, I joke. City subways are actually decent, maybe not the best, but they get by.

Russia (St.Petersburg)

Spain (Madrid Atocha)

The underground stations in Prague are great as well!

The USA are not America

The only way to truly experience the Montreal's subway is through the smell.

*New York City

Other metro systems look way nicer, looking through the images on a "American subway station" search

North Korea has a subway system?

Kinda feels like you could make a 4 picture graph from each country with varying levels of grime.

Except NK, they probably only have the one spotless one.
