"It is the 2nd largest system in the world"By route miles. It is #1 in number of stations, number of express services, and, I believe #5 in the world in ridership (maybe it has climbed to #4 by now, I don't know). "The NYC subway has the potential for greatness" The NYC subway already far outperforms the DC Metro on most measures of reliability, route flexibility, safety and service. What NYC lacks are ADA compliant stations and cellphone capability in the tunnels (the latter is somewhat controversial in that some New Yorkers think it's a bad idea). On many lines, the DC Metro's train speeds do not exceed New York'sm and when they do, it doesn't matter much (escept to foamers like you) because there are no lengthy express stretches to take advantage of it. |
