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?

I take the subway all the time. I live in Queens, NY, so yeah. I take the 4 train (after transferring) to and from school sometimes, which is in the Bronx. Once, the station I was supposed to get off at on the 4 train was under construction, so I had to get off 10 blocks away, in ghetto Bronx. And then I had to walk to school. In flip flops.

do you go to Bronx Sci ?

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..

yea 7 trains its very scary actually you could really fall off and drop down around places like astoria and i hate it when usually the train curves through the steel bridge ....i feel as though you could fall off the street on the bottom .....the LIRR is a very very smooth ride ....i usually take that and head straight to Penn Station since there is no need for me to take the subways anymore ..since its useless if you live in long island
