When Julianne ran new York the trains actually ran and maintenance was carried out. Then democrats took over and started funding everything else with the subways budget. Now they can't even maintain the damn thing much less run it on time.

[@ryanedkins1521]

It doesn’t run infrequently. During normal operation (non-nights) longest it will take is 7 min. It’s only at nights you get those crazy wait time. Most European metros don’t run past midnight (let alone 24/7) Edit: a lot of people don’t know what “longest” means. NYC is one of few metros I’ve traveled on that has express routes too so over all travel is faster.

[@RK-cj4oc]

[@SBmasta441]

It's gotten much worse since the pandemic. Before it was uncommon to wait more than 5 minutes ever. Now it's common to have 10+ minute waits on the most busy lines. Trains randomly stop in the tunnel and there are signal problems, disruptive passengers etc taking up time and making everyone late.

No. The Archer Ave/JFK bound J often runs less than the L. You can take the AirTrain or whatever but don’t recommend it. The Brooklyn-bound L from Union Sq. is routinely one of the most crowded trains you can catch. They are probably running because the last cab on trains is less crowded, and they spied a tasty seat for the ride home.

Interesting. I don't live in New York, so I'm mainly just speaking in general, everywhere, all throughout North America. 15 minute intervals should be the longest anyone should have to wait for public transportation. And it should be done before, not after, there is a demand for it. It's a chicken or the egg problem. People are just going to choose to drive cars, even if it bankrupts them, before they use an inconvenient public transportation system.

[@ex0stasis72]

And if you say that it's not feasible everywhere in the less populated areas, then I agree with you. But that's also part of the problem. We need more areas with a more dense population so that those areas become more affordable.

MTA In A Nutshell

[@MichalisG1821]

As a Greek who lives in Athens and takes the Metro frequently, it's absolutely absurd if a train takes even 15 minutes to arrive (Metro trains here run on approximately 6-8 minute intervals, depending on congestion). I also spent a lot of time growing up in the American Northeast, between NY and Philly. Whenever one of my mates complains about the Metro being late, I have the distinguished honor of telling him about the insane timetables of subway systems in the Northeast US. Needless to say, they're always shocked.

[@razzmatazz1974]

Lived a short while in Athens in the early 2000s. Trains and metro had a decent schedule but buses did not.

You say it as 10 minutes is sooo frequent 😂 Russia and almost all post-soviet countries have their trains come every 2-3 minutes during the day. 10 minutes range is like... at midnight. And it is usually 8 minutes maximum at midnight. Subway is extremely demanded in the mornings, our trains come like every 40 seconds. Otherwise, the place would have been overcrowded, and it may cause accidents. And yes, each post-soviet country's subway is funded by its government.
