New York Metro is more than just “but it’s old” it’s the results of shit design and negligence
It looks like a wasteland

I didn’t know there were other people on Lemygrad who play Metro
And it’s intentional. Less public transportation means more people buying cars and hiring other companies for transportation
God I wish my city upgraded their public transport system often enough
Canada also has the outdated public transportation system in the largest metropolitan city, Toronto (which is not the Capitals city of the country), although they do update the trains and railway tracks on one subway route line.
Yeah, well, you see, that Pyongyang metro is built on blood and by slaves or some shit, while NYC metro has freedom air in it’s ventilation system. Checkmate, tankie.
What ventilation system LLLLL
You can also be assaulted by green people in the NYC subway.
Holy shit, the DPRK looks more advanced than I thought! It’s like they’re almost China level, at least in Pyongyang.

Good question. Probably has something to do with having doors on both sides - buses always arrive to the stop with one side, but subway trains sometimes switch.
Idk, but that’s how all “proper” subway trains are in my experience. The only exception is the “underground tram” in Volgograd, which has tram-like seats (facing forward)
Trains and subways in my country have rows of seats. Having doors on both sides doesn’t prevent this. It seems however, that rows allow for less space while standing. So having seats on the sides allows for more cramming of standing passengers.
Makes sense. Could also be a matter of capacity vs length of route. I.e. it makes sense for trains that go between cities (idk what’s the English word for it) to have sitting rows - because the passengers need to sit down for a while. But with subways - how long is the commute, on average?
Each station is around 2-3 minutes from each other. I spend some 10-15 minutes in the subway train.

The more open space you have in the middle to more variance you would have for luggage types. Some people might actually have some larger luggage they need to move. You see all types on those trains.
Also on the event of an emergency there’s less overall obstacles in the way for people getting off.
This is all just how I see it. I did absolutely zero research before I just thought this up, but it feels logical.
I wish to never live under an oppressive regime thank you.
You mean the oppressive regime in the US and all western countries? Yeah, I unfortunately have to endure living there.
I mean the other 1000x more oppressive countries. You know, like the ones where they can just arrest you or disappear you entirely for just being Gay. You know, those places that start with China, ruzzia, India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Irak, etc etc etc.
I know, right! Imagine living in an oppressive country with the largest prison population of the world and where having the wrong skin color basically is a free ticket to constantly being harassed by the judiciary system your entire life!
Oh, wait…
That much is true. I’ll give you that. There are sucky parts about living in the US. But it least we’re not being killed or imprisoned on mass. You can put a BLM sticker on your car and expect a keying of your paint but not a linching… unless you’re in the flyover states. LOL.
arrest you or disappear you entirely for just being Gay.
So, Texas 25 years ago? The Supreme Court came for abortion, they’re coming for gay rights next. Voat hard, lib.
uh oh another lemmy lib
