| have to agree with columbia2002, the subway isn't particularly modern, it's pretty average if you ask me, on many lines they're using new(/newer) trains. but the stations are a little dingy and dirty. at the same time it's quick, it's cheap and most of all pretty comprehensive. it covers all 5 boroughs and within manhattan except for a pocket or two, you're never more than a 4-5 block walk from a station. so $2 from anywhere in the city to anywhere, including changing lines. it's a smartly planned system. |
