@Geotpf5 жыл бұрын
He didn't even count all the light rail lines. Lots of cities have light rail lines but no heavy rail subway. Adds on to some of the subways too. For example, Los Angeles' light rail system is much larger than their heavy rail subway (and while both are being expanded, the light rail is growing faster), and the two work together. Also doesn't count commuter rail lines using full sized trains (again, to use LA as an example, their's is called Metrolink and runs between five counties with one station in a sixth, with the main station for it (Union Station) being shared with both heavy rail subway lines and a light rail line).

While DC can get you virtually anywhere throughout the district and surrounding suburbs, it is an extremely poorly managed system and often experiences unnecessary delays and sometimes closures between certain stations due to problems due to lack of proper maintenance, safety issues and frequent construction due to a prolonged lack of maintenance. I've been to Chicago, New York and Boston and spoken to people that use those systems and I can say that (as nice as our system in DC looks) it is by far one of the worst managed and most unreliable systems in the country. (Full disclosure, I live in Maryland, about 25 minutes from DC and have lived here my entire life. I somewhat regularly use the system too)

1. BART (SF) - Fastest speeds, covers a lot of distance, frequent service and only a few transfer points so its easy to understand plus I love how the trains come into the stations very swiftly and (almost) always manage to stop exactly at the door markings on the platform. 2. WMATA (DC) - Similar to BART in some ways including distance based fares, beautiful stations that feel very civilized and consistent, doesn't share tracks much so problems (which there are many lately) at least might not bring the whole system down. 3. Chicago - Old world charm, interesting wooden platforms etc and its really cool the way it weaves around buildings so close 4. PATH - Pretty simple system without frills but it moves pretty well for being ancient and doesn't seem to have a ton of problems 5. LA Metro - The Red line is both flashy and fun (some of the stations have lots of Hollywood decor) but also seems like a hard working busy piece of transit in a city not thought of as a transit hot spot.

My favourite (and one I often jokingly quote) has to be "Méguille" instead of "McGill". Never fails to crack me up.

I lived in Montreal for several years and the Metro was great. We didn’t have a car so it was our main mode of transportation. The rubber tires make it quieter and the architecture of most of the stations are aesthetically unmatched. The other cool part of the Montreal Metro is the underground cities that are attached to many of the stations downtown. I lived there when Lionel-Groulx opened. I remember how futuristic and modern I always thought it was. I used to take the metro from de l’église to Atwater every day to go to school at Westmount High School.

I only know the New York subway first hand as a native; I've ridden the T in Boston and the SEPTA many years ago. New York gets slammed a lot but the system is fast; it's three and four track local/express is unique in the world. The Philly Broad Street line is a four track L/E system; the only one out side of New York's as far as I know! Three and four track system would probably be cost prohibitive today! You can ride the entire system on one swipe of your Metrocard! There are always repairs and reconstruction going on but during the rush hours, the system does its thing well! The system is nearly entirely underground in Manhattan except for the 125 Street station on the #1 which climbs to an extraordinary height above the street then submerges again to its terminus! The outer boroughs (Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx have a combination of both elevated and underground lines! Staten Island, although part of the city system, is literally miles apart from the rest of the City and has one line running from St. George where the ferries from Manhattan come in, to Tottenville at the southern most end of the borough! Probably the most unique thing about the New York system is its 24/7 and express/local service! You cannot be stranded in the city if you have a Metrocard and a map. When I was in high school back in the 60's, I rode very line in the city including the Staten Island line which involved taking a ferry to reach it! That was one of the most unusual lines in the city, almost entire on street level and by time it reached mid-line along the route I was seeing FARMS, yes, farms within the City of New York! To be inside a subway car and look and see cows, silos, horses, etc., blew my mind! One of my bucket dreams is to ride every system in the U.S. and if time and money permitted, subways around the world. I coined the term 'URBANRAILER' in 2009 to describe those of us who love trains in general but have a special place for subways and other urban bus and rail systems! So, if you are a person who loves subways, light rail, trolleys, buses and commuter rail roads, then you are an 'urbanrailer'!!

Having lived in DC, Chicago, and Oakland within the last 3 years, I'd rank it 1) Chicago/CTA, 2) DC/WMATA, 3) Oakland(i.e. SF)/BART. I appreciated the fact the CTA seems like a true workhorse. It isn't flashy but it covers a good deal of the key areas of the city and neighborhoods, has reasonably frequent service and extensive hours (including 24/7 on the red & blue lines), is reasonably priced, and the CTA continues to focus on the importance of getting the system to a state of good repair for better safety and reliability in the years ahead (including a current rebuild of portions of the red/purple lines from Lawrence to Bryn Mawr and the brown line flyover north of Belmont). It's not as clean as WMATA, but seems much cleaner than BART. As for downsides, the trains are much narrower owing to the narrower tracks which they're stuck with since that is the gauge used back when the first train line was developed in the 1890s). For DC/WMATA, I love the architecture of the stations (in general I do not like brutalism but the concrete vault stations are quite attractive), the cleanliness of the system, and the air conditioning in the stations (when it's actually working), though service frequencies could be better and it seems more prone to system breakdowns (doors not working causing trains to go offline, forcing riders to offboard and crowd onto the following trains, all while the system backs up while awaiting removal of the malfunctioning train). For BART, basically the same technology as DC/WMATA, though the cleanliness of the system pales in comparison. And the fact it travels just one subway route through SF means there is a lot of the city that it misses (you can transfer to MUNI but that system isn't as extensive as it should be either). Plus service frequencies on the different east bay branches seem less than the various lines in Chicago and DC.

Timosha21: Big error about Mexico City Metro stations only being named for "historical figures". Contrary to what you state, many stations are named after a location or neighborhood as well as some important building or attraction nearby. Some examples are: Salto de Agua (water fountain), Observatorio, Universidad, Autobuses del Norte, Chapultapec, Bellas Artes, Tasqueña, Insurgentes, Puebla, Zócalo, La Villa (Guadalupe Basilica). These are just a few of the stations that I have used and know that they are not named for a person. All stations employ an icon based on the name of the station and is unique to that station. This system of icons was developed when the Metro first opened to help the many people who cannot read. If a rider needs to exit at Salto de Agua, for example, the icon is a big fountain sprinkling drops of water up and over. When the rider sees that fountain icon at the station, he or she knows it's time to exit. Every station displays its own icon on the platforms, the concourses, and at every entrance. The route map for that line on each car (trains are dedicated to serve one line only) shows the icon next to the name of the station. If I remember correctly, the large system maps displayed on station walls also show a station's icon next to its name. It makes using the system so much easier for all, especially for those who can't read. As an aside, another fun fact about Mexico City Metro - the first car is designated for women and young children only. This practice is in response to blatant and continual bad behavior by men. Women would be subjected to groping and grabbing by lechers and other ill-mannered, uncouth men. Not restricted to the first car, women may ride in any car if they so desire. You're welcome.

Another good spot is Route 128, where commuter rail, Amtrak, and CSX pull trains. And heck I had no idea Cleveland had a subway system.

Light rail systems connect more with buses than they do with trains.

The light rail projects I have seen all have been to some extent failures. But that is in California. Infrastructure projects intended to promote development do not seem to work here. If you want, study the San Jose-Santa Clara County light rail system. The original northern portion of it, which goes to areas where there is employment in the high-tech industries has a lot of ridership. The original southern branch has going to the Santa Teresa area had little ridership when it started in 1987 and still doesn't have a lot now. The system has since expanded and I don't know where is and isn't a lot of ridership in the rest of it. The situation may be different in other parts of the country. But light rail and heavy rail are different entities. You need a lot of ridership to support heavy rail.

The Red Line actually has trains every 15 minutes (off peak) and every 10 minutes (at peak). They operate until 3:00 Am with red line trains every 15 minutes. The light rail lines operate every 30 minutes (off peak) and every 20 minutes (at peak).

So if you excluded PATCO what is BART doing there? It is basically a commuter rail system considering its character of having only one or two stations per Settlement outside San Francisco and Oakland and the Long lines out of downtown. It just uses third rail supply and a common corridor for several lines. But that does SEPTA Regional as well in downtown Philadelphia. We have this in Germany as well. Hamburg and Berlin both have a 3rd rail commuter network and a separate Metro (Berlin with two load gauges similar to New Yorks IRT and BMT/IND) also using 3rd rail. The only one I know and used in America was Philadelphia. It could not cope with my German favourite Hamburg. Philly was dirty, poorly signed and noisy. Most downtown stairways into the mezzanines smelled like a toilet facility, what obviously is their main use at Friday and Saturday night. So difficult to say what is my favourite from the ones I don't know. New York for sure is of an impressive size and Chicago's Loop is cooler than 100 tunnels below downtown. So I declare them both winner.

Or try London for a tube, Underground (sub surface) or Overground or a DLR (Docklands Light Rail)
