Re: Achmat

Agreed that this is sad. But, to say NYC has one of the worst subway systems is flat out wrong. We have the greatest subway system on the planet, and to say otherwise is just offensive. Whether you're talking about extensiveness, frequency of trains, speeds and dependability of the train cars, transfer options, express routes, late night/early morning service, whatever, there simply isn't another subway system that can compare. I mean, if you combined the number of stops of all the other subway systems in the USA, that number is only about 15 stations more than NYC. Accidents happen in all walks of life, and people do stupid things. While unfortunate, let's not blame the subway system for people jumping on tracks to retrieve personal items they accidentally dropped. NYC subway has its issues, sure. We could use a Second Ave. subway line, a Queens-to-Bronx line, a northern Manhattan crosstown line, a not-so-neglected G train line and a northern Queens line that connects to LaGuardia Airport, for example, but I wouldn't trade our system for any on this planet.
