Most Major European cities do. America is the outlier with our awful public transport

This issue is a bit more complex because we keep them running 24 7 and we literally hate funding transit, so you have this unholy union of the very worst deferred maintenance situation clashing with one of the heaviest used systems out there.

It's honestly impressive it runs at all and if you watch a cab view ride of the lines, we keep the actual tunnels and trackage very clean and tip top.

Oh I know it’s a marvel of engineering on its own. I just wish we actually put more money into maintenance and innovation.
