The Underground. Options

[alienshards]

Well, people have complained that I am quite too serious, so I will attempt to lighten my discussion. I do quite enjoy trains, and undergrounds are quite close. I have not been on many, to my regret, But I must say my favorite is the Metro in the District of Columbia. The stations are expecially nice. Also nice is the Marta of Atlanta.

It is a pity that the United States does not have a better train system. I suppose aeroplanes can do faster for cheaper, but there is a certain nostalgia about trains that is very nice. Do any of you like the underground? What is your favorite underground?

the ones on Boston are pretty clean.. doesn't have many stops though.

i like the ones in NYC too because i can blast music really loud and annoy people :) that's always fun. the only thing with NYC's subway system is that it's too dirty, smells like piss and garbage, too many homeless people, too crowded, sometimes has no AC, sometimes you have to walk a long way to transfer, and you can easily get lost your first week.
i go on the train a lot. i was totally lost my first 3 times going there alone.

and sometimes, it's creepy for a 14-year-old to go alone on the train. too many weird people there.

true ...it really isnt safe at night on specific spots depending on what type of train your in and what stations .....you can either get pushed while the train comes on purpose ........alot of people these days take the newer ones with the side seats ....but yea .....i like the LIRR though ...it has comfy seats and its a double decker . the MTA should really have a renovation project coming soon , hopefully they would have enough funds .....but hah ....it would seem that would take a 53253523 years.


ooo and it seems that i might take the train when i go to school at boston ... i would liek that

and another good thing about the Boston subways: some of the tunnels aren't that deep, so if you fall in, you can step out :)

i've never been on the LIRR before. i'd like to though.

and the MTA should really have the money to renovate the train stations.. isn't $2 per ride one of the most expensive in the US? in Boston, it was like $1.25..

i really hate the 59th and Colombus Circle stop.. it's curved and smells really bad some days.. and the 7 trains are really crappy. and so are the some of the above-ground stops..
