With no express service, unbelievably slow-moving trains with long intervals in between them, and a layout that doesn't allow you to go anywhere except to the loop and back out again, it sometimes took me 2 hours to reach my destination.

When you ride the subway here every day, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that it's still one of the most thorough systems in the world. It's 24 hours. And I'd say it still runs pretty well for an old system. I can bitch and moan about the system all I want, but it's still better to be a rider here than MANY other places, including those you just mentioned.
