They ought to turn the system over to the Taiwanese. We go over there once in a while. The trains are on time to the minute and ultra clean inside.

The train/ subway system under Taipei was a 4 yr project completed in 3 yrs and under budget. The rooms underground are beyond huge and tiled. built so well that big earthquake they had a while back only loosened a couple tiles off the wall.

You would need Taiwanese people to ride the New York subways to fix the problem. This is due to the New York riders, not due to the people running the system.

The NY system is very old. A book called The World Beneath the City tells all about the history. Also the alligators in the sewers and other underground circuses.

Other systems, like the DC Metro, which I have used, are weirdly modern-looking to my eyes. All you need is a hole in the ground and a fast train, but it does have its aggravations.

They don’t have NYC democrats.
