Fake New Yorker detected. Our subway locomotives are too old and janky to speed. They just kinda screech-and-chug along. MTA union maintenance men get paid $150/hour to suck each other's dicks, not actually repair things.

DC Metro is better at killing people IMO

college triangle in NC is pretty decent, mainly because 3 universities and lots of transplants helps thin out the local redneck supply.

They're small, cramped, dingy, careworn, and given the chance, the checkout clerks would murder you in the underclass uprising in a heartbeat. Shopping in a grocery store in Manhattan is soul-crushing. Unless you go to one of the gourmet food markets. Those are fine, but everything will cost you 3x what it should and there's about 1/10th the selection of what you can get in a real supermarket in a flyover state.

you can tell everything about the neighborhood just from what stuff the local bodegas stock.

I've never seen anyone get in trouble for eating and drinking on the metro, but I've heard of it happening.

Also, my friend from Jersey thought those posters were hilarious.

It was ad campaign by the DC metro:

Driving in NYC was easy as poo poo. I don't get why it's so hyped up. Just don't expect to park anywhere and the driving part is simple.

Probably because it uses the traditional grid layout instead of whacky street plans found in other cities like SF or DC.

This New York was an actually good cool city and that anyone tries to claim turning all the strip clubs off Times Square into Starbucks was an improvement is all the proof I need that mankind is being overrun by lizard people

Movies like the Taxi Driver, Warriors or Death Wish are really neat since they capture the pre-banker apocalyptic feel of the city really well.

It was basically closer to the Purge irl.
