I must say NYC subway must be renovated. I feel like it is pretty rundown. Last summer, I was in D.C, and their metro is better than ours. It is really cool. I can’t understand why we could not have batter mass transportation system. I think if you should also write about the grades of buses also. Now, I’m in Minneapolis-St.Paul, you know what their buses are running like Swiss precision. Just +3 or -3 min. It is simply amazing, and very reliable even in the mid of the very hash winter. I think it might be good idea to encourage the employees of NYC subway come and get trainings in MNSP. I think your grades are pretty AWESOME. I must say NYC subway must be renovated.

The F is named after the grade it receives. Please hand out grade forms to F commuters (I have a feeling this is the most neglected line of all lines in NYC). TOP COMPLAINTS: -constantly filthy (including the people...trains are NOT homes) -extremely slow (consider creating a 24 hour express track somehow!? I'll take a tax increase) PLEASE investigate the F situation. The F is named after the grade it receives.
