Those who have visited NYC, do you like the subway? I LOVE your Underground.
I go to London every year and just got back from another wonderful stay. I just love the Underground, Overground.. cushioned seats with dividers so people cannot spill over into their neighbors... Easy to navigate. Everything runs so much better than what I have accepted as part of life and it's much cleaner.. Ya'll even have those cool barriers in some stations so people can't jump in front of a train.
Only thing I find irksome is having to tap out which I understand since it is a multi-zone fare similar to what the US has with Washinginton DC's Metro.
Returned to my subway for the first time in weeks. While I was staring at a bunch of rusticles and cracked tiles in a wall at a popular Manhattan subway stop, the thought occurred to me... what do you folks think of our system when you visit? How do you feel about it compared to the tube?
For the brief moment we had "Train Daddy" Andy Byford running the MTA we had improvements to cleanliness, timely train arrivals, etc. We were very sad to lose him. Did ya'll have a strong affection for Andy the way New Yorkers did when he ran TfL?
