Even outside of London, if you live in the town or city you work on, public transportation is just easiest. Well.. you'll be here over the weekend so you can see for yourself, Wenty :3

Wowowowowow, that looks so much cleaner then the stations here in NYC. Although, that train looks mighty old fashioned. |
BART's where it's at yo
I don't think I've seen a dirty subway, but then again I rarely go on subways :P |
Never been in a subway except the sandwich kind. C:
/hungry |
You're missing out Live. I have a soft spot for NY subways. Especially the R train.
|
I'm missing out on a Turkey BLT, lmao
/me likey old trains |
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.

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. http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4/3618781-Dark_and_Dirty_BART_in_Frisco_is_Cleaner_New_York_City.jpg |
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.

Wow, that looks superold and ugly and dirty XD
When I'm bored, I go around the Madrid Metro with my monthly pass and take pictures of stuff, I have a bit folder already. Should upload it eventually! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/222/dscn2744e.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/138/dscn2875.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/28/dscn2881h.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/dscn2761j.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/dscn2909g.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/594/dscn2907x.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/854/dscn2777r.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/dscn2899pb.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/19/dscn2903f.jpg/ |

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

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 Spoiler:

I mean, the color scheme and everything, there's a divider in the middle, all that stuff :P |
But Cosmo, it's so old-timey! It's RETRO!

Our subway system looks like a fat finger tbh.
http://www.ibabuzz.com/transportation/files/2006/06/bart-subway-stn.jpg 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) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Minneapolis_Light_Train.jpg Northstar Line (Commuter Rail) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/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. |
That first one actually looks really cool imo. XD

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.

Oh! I didn't show our stations!
Toronto's Museum station :3 http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/photos/2008/04/museum_station_wide_01.jpg Union station http://i.thestar.com/images/5b/3b/c7f8b5394f2e8d2461775a68ee90.jpeg And random because I thought it was cool: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/photos/2008/04/Dundas_Square_Pano_Fisheye_tunnel_crop.jpg Dundas Square |
Your Union Station reminds me of the main train station in Philadelphia haha.
