I think mass transit is pretty much the same everywhere.

In Japan there are “Women only” cars on the Tokyo subway because of all the male gropers.

I can’t count the times I had to sit beside someone on a Hong Kong bus that probably hadn’t had a shower since 1955

The subway and train stations in Italy smell like urine.

The Shanghai subway is new but the cars already look like they are poorly maintained

The tube trains in London are almost always dirty and filled with people who look miserable.

The subways in New York while better than they used be are still repulsive and sometime scary.

You can walk faster than the subway in Moscow

Yes I have ridden all of these

You have my sympathy. I’ll bet the German subways are good though. There seems to be some discipline there, and I’m not being sarcastic.

London was the most convenient to me.

Singapore MRT is pretty nice - of course, if they had the types of passengers BART has, they would never have time to cane everybody who deserves it. :)

Wow, thanks for the perspective. Good to know we’ve got competition for “gross” in the USA - lol!
