Bad meme, id you want to dunk on the US find a better angle than obvious propaganda.
Not mine ;)
Talk about cherry picking lmao
nice, but have you ever been in Baden Württemberg?
By annual ridership, the New York City Subway is the busiest rapid transit system in both the Western Hemisphere and the Western world, as well as the eleventh-busiest rapid transit rail system in the world.[18] The subway carried 1,793,073,000 riders in 2022.[6]: 2 [note 5] On October 29, 2015, more than 6.2 million people rode the subway system, establishing the highest single-day ridership since ridership was regularly monitored in 1985.[20]
The system is also one of the world’s longest. Overall, the system contains 248 miles (399 km) of routes,[10] translating into 665 miles (1,070 km) of revenue track[10] and a total of 850 miles (1,370 km) including non-revenue trackage.[11] Of the system’s 28 routes or “services” (which usually share track or “lines” with other services), 25 pass through Manhattan, the exceptions being the G train, the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, and the Rockaway Park Shuttle.
The NYC system was built a century ago and operates at an astonishing level considering its for one city and is so relatively inexpensive.
And this appears to be a shot of a closed station that appears to be lit by flashlight - my guess is someone urbexing an abandoned station. There are quite a few stations in NYC that have been closed in the past century and aren’t well maintained. Some are still passed by active trains even though there’s no longer a stop there.
The USA are not America
Well, if you are going to feel better I can post a picture of the subway in the Cartel of Medellin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Russia (St.Petersburg)
Spain (Madrid Atocha)
In all of Vietnam there are currently two active metro lines, one of which is only partially complete.
I hope it improves. Many lines are under construction but all of the projects have been plagued by delays for years.
But why would you include this as an example here?
make better agi prop, the US has the most gorgeous metro system in the world. Facts dont care about your feelings. (If you dont like brutalist architecture you probably wont like it and I’m sorry)Ahem, have you seen the Moscow subway?
In case anyone is wondering, that’s Komsomolskaya station, built in 1952. Later stations tended to not be so opulent.
Here’s a new station that’s just been built for ya
That’s not opulent, that’s just bad taste. The other one was absolutely beautiful.
Certainly better taste than anything your shithole has to offer.
None of the design elements work with each other, to start with. Then it’s like after the fact, some shmuck from the propaganda office told the architects to stick a stupid looking fighter jet in there. It’s like a weak man’s idea of a strong design.
I’ve never read a more sour comment in my life. Thanks for letting me know how much you’re seething and coping there.
Of all things America sucks at, the NYC subway is not the thing to attack. Fuck cars
The issue isn’t the presence of a subway system, but rather the need for more funding, care and attention.
Agreed. We are lucky to have that. Also I’m pretty sure that the photos were chosen to show off the worse of the US subway system in NYC. I remember riding it once and thought it was pretty clean.
I guarantee that someone could do the same for the other subway systems if they should choose too.
