Re: Re: transport21

I lived in NYc for a while and was constantly amazed by the excellence and stupidity of the system, so handy: having local and express lines on the subway is fantastic, the single stage pricing and the bus transfers are fantastic, the density of most of the network and the 24 hr running, the frequency of the trains, amazing! On the other hand, most journeys after 1am seem to involved going to the wrong station and changing directions, isn’t there a line missing on the east, why is it so hard to get cross town north of say 55th, why did they build an express to the airport and terminate in queens? NYc is generally like that, amazingly creaky and dumb but it somehow works fantastically.
