    You're missing out Live. I have a soft spot for NY subways. Especially the R train.

    Toujie, I like you. You have taste. R is probably one of the cleanest. Also, you're from New York? I feel like I asked that before


    And Subway the sandwich store is god. $5 footlong all September, get them while September lasts!

    And god, NYC trains suck compared to Torontos.

    • Tube stations are ridiculously varied in terms of cleanliness and general appearnce. Some are like stereotypical NYC stations: the one that's nearest me - Whitechapel - is sightly better than NYC ones but not much. Others have been recently updated and look really nice as a result: Blackfriars, where I get off to go to work, is an example of this. And different Tube lines have better/worse trains themselves. It's a real grab-bag of stuff, and it's always being updated so there's normally some sort of engineering work going on at any one time. Everyone complains about the Tube but when it stops (like it did in a series of strikes last year) the whole of London shuts down, practically.

    I'm from New Jersey, haha. I like the R train because my great-aunt lives in Brooklyn and that's the one that we always take because it's the only one that goes out to her place. I even have an R shirt somewhere XD; I would never wear it in New York though because TOURIST

    • I miss being about to take the subway. They're so relaxing compared to taking the bus.

    I don't think I've seen a dirty subway, but then again I rarely go on subways :P

    Hahaha, BART. Did you hear about the cause of all those escalator break downs at BART stations? It's gross.

    Flip flop! That's what I was thinking of. I dunno Toujours, I mean America thinks the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road even though America is the only country (to my knowledge) that drives on the right. I dunno if that's maybe saying something.. >_>

    Haha we also think that you all are crazy cuz you use the metric system. I know we're in the minority for that
    And the T train is alright for me here, depending on the line you take. The Green Line (oldest) goes like a top speed of 20 mph on a good day. All the other ones are bearable though

    Toronto got new trains in their underground/ subway. They have no dividers which is pretty cool! I got a chance to ride one and they are wicked on turns.

    • Our subway system looks like a fat finger tbh.

    And every time I go on public transportation there's a dude (usually ethnic) who got busted by the cops one way or another sitting across from me.

    • Presently, these are the only two trains you can ride in my area!

    Hiawatha Line (Light Rail)
    Minneapolis_Light_Train.jpg


    Northstar Line (Commuter Rail)
    Northstar_Doubleheader.jpg


    Unfortunately for me, I don't live along either one.

    Though I have ridden the subway lines in NYC between Central Park and Battery Park in the past on a trip there.

    • Every time I get the opportunity to go on the 1995 rolling stock on the Northern Line, I can't help but appreciate how sexy it looks compared to the S stock on the circle line ;~; maybe its that curved shape or the black strip at the face of the train that makes it look so badass as it enters a station.

    • If you can't walk around the circumference of Dundas Square without falling to your death, I'll be very disappointed.

    This is where I get the Tube to work every day - Whitechapel:
    Spoiler:


    And this is where I get off, Blackfriars:
    Spoiler:

    Kinda different!

    Those both look quite similar to the train lines down here.
    Although it's too dangerous to take photo's with the large number thugs that collaborate at the station where I live.
    I've been threatened with a knife at least twice for looking at someone at the station. A few of my friends have been stabbed, it's rough here I suppose.

    • They only congregate at the stations though so you walk 100 metres (Oh no not the metric system) in a different direction and you're relatively safe. Unless it's into the nearest high school in which case you're probably in trouble..

    • I don't live in a bad neighborhood, at least, not anymore. I used to live on Jefferson Street in Birmingham, Alabama and that's like mixing people from Bronx, New York with people from Harlem and taking away their basketball.
