I lived in London for awhile, and the tube was constantly down every other week with strikes. It would constrict the city and make getting around near impossible in those days and it would happen quite a lot, it was a nightmare. The national rail is also extremely expensive, i knew people from the UK who flew to Spain instead of real within the Uk because it was cheaper to fly to Spain than it was to train inside the UK
As a New Yorker, who has been to London, I was floored how much better down the underground ground is and yet I still see some of your Londoners compliant about the tube.😂
Surprised she didn’t mention the subway system in Russia especially in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. One of the best and most modern systems along with the fact that it looks like a museum when you walk in!
For everyone’s information, Hong Kong’s metro system is actually really good compared with NYC, we have shops for food, convenient stores, atms and sometimes random stuff all in one station, FOR ALL STATIONS! Also, signs are everywhere, there are guidelines to what symbols mean on the maps and we have special “quiet carts” on the trains for people who don’t want to be disturbed. Fun fact, one of the metro lines has a first class cart on the trains!
Considering this video is sarcastic it's safe to say most other systems are better than NYC. I don't remember HK's system as I was last there in 2012... But I've been to enough countries in Europe and Asia to know there are better options than what we'll find in the US.
It is because your system is run by capitalists while the MTA is run by soviets. The MTA won't get rid of patronage, won't punish bad behavior by employees nor reward good behavior. The police will not clear the vagrants from the system nor enforce fare collection. The fare is the same regardless of if you go 2 stops or 20 crossing a river and riding a bus it's the same $3. Went to Jersey City with my 9 year old she noticed how different the PATH was from the subway, it was much cleaner, there were no vagrants, no urine stench in the station, everyone was paying their fare. Not that it is perfect but the Port Authority runs the PATH much better than the MTA runs the subway. The sad thing is that the NYC subway system structurally has an excellent design and could be one of the best systems in the world if run properly.
@@abcdefg-oj5wnit is very different. There are too many lines too many delays too many things down etc. I have been in NY many times and I understand it very well but it’s just not a good system compared to the Tube or the T in Boston or the metro in DC
I’ve road the NYC metro for a long time, and used the DC metro, and thought they were really good and cool, and then I went to Seoul for a few weeks and had my mind blown at a well designed subway system, with good cleanliness and clearly defined routes.
Funny and sad too. I was also disappointed in the German train system recently, while traveling from Hamburg to Amsterdam to Munich and back to Hamburg. The number of delays were amazing. On the other hand, the subways and trains in China are modern, clean, comfortable, inexpensive and on time. Switzerland has great mass transit too.
There are whole categories of stations in Tokyo called dungeon stations where you can genuinely get lost for an hour or 2 trying to find an exit out of 50.

Lmao this is hilarious! Although it isn’t nearly as extensive or convenient as the nyc subway, i really appreciate having the DC Metro. It’s pretty clean, the signs actually work, and the trains run on time usually. I do wish it covered more of the city though /:
Don’t forget. Every time you inside the subway platform, there’s a lottery chance of someone random pushing you to the track 😂! The more you ride, the better your chances of winning!
The DC metro isn’t nearly as extensive as the NYC subway, but the stations are large, pretty, and normally well maintained. It’s also very east to use, even for tourists.
Doesn't run 24/7 though. When I moved to northern VA I took the metro into DC to avoid paying for parking, walked around the city hit a couple bars, then on my way back home I realized I couldn't get in the metro. Had to pay for an expensive ass Uber back to VA.
watch your videos for many years and had some much great advice. Love the reels, such a lovely take on that amazing city. OK Prices are a little crazy these days but just love the place. such an experience every time.
As someone who lives in nyc… BLOWS MY MIND that people consider it “the greatest city on the planet” and “I love New York” is the motto. Or why they call it “the city that never sleeps” cus stuff actually closes so early it’s crazy.
As a New Yorker, it is the city that never sleeps. Go to any other place in America and stuff will close much earlier. I don’t know about overseas though
@@djk1563TBH cities like LA are much more deserving of the saying. NY does close early. In LA, you'll have traffic on the freeway at 3am because things are happening 24/7
Being from England, after riding on the subway in NYC, I will never complain about the London Underground. It's so much nicer than the subway which looks so old and dirty, it was shocking.
Portugal and budapest have some GREAT metro systems! They're cheap, decently clean and almost always on time. I would definitely recommend using them when visiting :>
Sarah The NYC Subway system in most times is reliable..As a Brooklynite who grew up in Gravesend and now lives in Sheepshead Bay have alternate ways to Coney Island and that is the B36 bus. When it comes to the Subway I miss the old trains such as the R40 modified R40 Slant R32 and others. The oldest trains in the Subway is the R46 still my favorite. and I grew up going on them ( F Train Avenue X) Now I take the B or Q at Sheepshead Bay. .
Want to address and make excuse for the other issues she brings up? Born and raised here too, its a dirty embarrassment of a metro system with old technology.
@FOH999 Going on the trains . A dirty embarrassment .Yes I agree when the train smells and is disgusting. Move to another car .The car number down and report it when you get off to a Station agent.

It is way better focus the resoruces in improving the industry rather than tourism. Tourism is good in short terms but bad in long terms.
Not enough people talk about Santiago's metro, I can say that it's so good we rely on it 99.9% of the time, which is a double edged sword sometimes because if anything happens in any of the lines the entire city will notice there's something going on, it was praised a lot during the panam games last year. I personally use buses more because they are mostly empty and I can sit and there are no stairs but if I'm in a hurry, metro is always the safest option in Santiago

I went to New York once with my girlfriend. When we were looking at the map, visibly speaking French, the whole wagon stood up and helped us get to the aquarium. New Yorkers are a different breed.
the only thing the MTA has over MTR is the 24/7 train service. Last year I was in NYC and after being spoiled by the MTR growing up in HK I hated the NYC subway. It is so insane how poorly it is maintained. The MTR charges way cheaper prices usually, depending on the distance, and even ignoring what they make from property, they make like 200% of their train operating costs back
I’ve been to NYC as a tourist many times, and the only scary experience I’ve ever had was when I got lost on the subway by going too far outbound at 2 am. I completely misread the map and had to wait at a desolate spot (pre-smartphone) for the trains to start again.

China's is far better, the best in the world, the cleanest and most modern
@@loremasteringwion9930Chinese subway systems are totally new, unlike ancient New York system was built partly in 19th century.
You didn't watch the video didn't you
It's not just best, it's perfect...
Perfect jokes
You forgot the fear of being pushed or punched. Gets my blood pumping on those monday morning commutes.
Cleanest subway in the world 😏
I guess you are being sarcastic
You wish!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The love I have for stockholms subways is unmatched
For $2.90, you can go anywhere, 24 hours a day. Good luck anywhere else.
Lmao this is hilarious! Although it isn’t nearly as extensive or convenient as the nyc subway, i really appreciate having the DC Metro. It’s pretty clean, the signs actually work, and the trains run on time usually. I do wish it covered more of the city though /:
The DC metro is 50 years younger and less than a Quarter of the Size
@@IndustrialParrot2816 DC subway. Still below international standards
true, it’s the 1st subway system in the world that never got an update
The sarcasm of New Yorkers. 😂
Don’t forget. Every time you inside the subway platform, there’s a lottery chance of someone random pushing you to the track 😂! The more you ride, the better your chances of winning!
No, just never stand dangerously close to the tracks, it's that simple.
The DC metro isn’t nearly as extensive as the NYC subway, but the stations are large, pretty, and normally well maintained. It’s also very east to use, even for tourists.
Doesn't run 24/7 though. When I moved to northern VA I took the metro into DC to avoid paying for parking, walked around the city hit a couple bars, then on my way back home I realized I couldn't get in the metro. Had to pay for an expensive ass Uber back to VA.
Overall, I liked DC's metro, but I found the stations to be kind of dark and cold looking because they were just unfinished concrete.
I'll take any other metro over NYC's omg!
@@Lv-nq9qz the exposed brutalist DC subway tunnels definitely match the vibe of DC as a dark, authoritarian, evil place.
Like her sense of humour 😂
I strongly recommend looking up the video of this guy in the subway throwing a coffee on this bloke in a suit’s head while it was moving. Hilarious AF
That sign is in simlish! I'm not kidding, I think I've seen that in The Sims 4
Nyc residents love this type of thing.
😂😂😂😂
"How it's a trian traffic it's one way rail just go straight"😂😂😂
不好意思，中国上海的地铁碾压纽约市的，我只是说实话🤷
Fully agree with this sweet beauty that NY subway is the best in the world😳😳😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Stand clear of the closing doors please."
Never get tired of hearing that voice lol
The St. Petersburg equivalent is "Caution: The doors are closing!"
The sound lives rent free in my head.
They've also got the best smelling elevators.
The best smell goes to the r62 hvac
watch your videos for many years and had some much great advice. Love the reels, such a lovely take on that amazing city. OK Prices are a little crazy these days but just love the place. such an experience every time.
This makes me appreciate Delhi metro more and more
Indian metro systems are world class bud
First world is not really as great as they portray it to be
Delhi metro would literally make it top 10 itw
@@arindam_bose99 not top 10, but top 3
No metro operates in such a diverse range of temperature
@@shobhit7572 nah there are better metros out there. Thai MRT service is better than Delhi in each and every aspects.
@@shobhit7572 Not possible for top3, China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia has better metro.
You absolutely nailed the delivery of this video Sarah! :)
No way 🙅 to step up or down to your level! You can keep your crown 👑 you deserve it NYC!
Seems like an app would solve a lot of the confusion as long as the operators keep everything updated
You speak the truth 😂
Remember: Females never tell the complete truth.
I’m from Hong Kong and this is the best subway station I’ve seen😂😂
I don't know if this is sarcasm or not xd
Sarcasm to a new level😂
Damn you got me in the first few seconds
As someone who lives in nyc… BLOWS MY MIND that people consider it “the greatest city on the planet” and “I love New York” is the motto. Or why they call it “the city that never sleeps” cus stuff actually closes so early it’s crazy.
As a New Yorker, it is the city that never sleeps. Go to any other place in America and stuff will close much earlier. I don’t know about overseas though
@@djk1563 so in new York shops bars pubs restaurants and offices all are open all night?
@@djk1563TBH cities like LA are much more deserving of the saying. NY does close early. In LA, you'll have traffic on the freeway at 3am because things are happening 24/7
@@djk1563 nah wym stuff closes here at like 8
@@djk1563 that's cap af, san fran and Miami are more alive than New York at 1am
Being from England, after riding on the subway in NYC, I will never complain about the London Underground. It's so much nicer than the subway which looks so old and dirty, it was shocking.
Come to San Francisco. BART is even worse haha
@@DardS8Br Come to Boston, the T is ridiculously slow
@@MrStark-up6fi I’ve been
Portugal and budapest have some GREAT metro systems! They're cheap, decently clean and almost always on time. I would definitely recommend using them when visiting :>
Some of the trains and their infrastructures in these countries are made and built by China.
It’s so great, you could just get lost in it. Literally!

The NYC Subway system in most times is reliable..As a Brooklynite who grew up in Gravesend and now lives in Sheepshead Bay have alternate ways to Coney Island and that is the B36 bus.
When it comes to the Subway I miss the old trains such as the R40 modified R40 Slant R32 and others. The oldest trains in the Subway is the R46 still my favorite. and I grew up going on them ( F Train Avenue X) Now I take the B or Q at Sheepshead Bay. .
Foamer!
Want to address and make excuse for the other issues she brings up? Born and raised here too, its a dirty embarrassment of a metro system with old technology.
@FOH999
Going on the trains . A dirty embarrassment .Yes I agree when the train smells and is disgusting. Move to another car .The car number down and report it when you get off to a Station agent. Since I'm a train fan or railfan I take the model of the train down as well. If you see something report it.
Yes the empty cars are empty, for some reason🤢🤮😂
Thank you Mable
the guy jumping the barrier at the end is off to commit more crime inside the subway
Or just out of money/not feeling like paying. Do you know how many people jump turnstiles? Far from all do it to commit crimes within the system.
The lack of Petersburg and Moscow in the list 😆
Goats
St.Petersburg is a baby system though...
I came here to say this.
It's a strategy. She's keeping them a secret because they're the real best in the world.
@@julierowe1732 Probably are, too.
Clean, efficient, safe, cheap. And, ornate. Tourist attractions in their own right.
Moscow system is still expanding too. Massive.
@spencerburke idk, 5 lines and 72 stations isn't tiny. It's not the Moscow underground or the New York metro, sure, but it's not baby on the level of the Glasgow metro either
Delhi Metro is pretty good too. Not many foreigners come to India so they never find out, but it really is rather good. ❤
Your country gets swamped with Western tourists yearly mostly going to the Taj Mahal.
@@davidtyler-ul9vw I wouldn't say swamped. On a comparative basis it's quite lower than much smaller countries like Thailand, UAE, Vietnam etc.
Also the Taj Mahal thing is very played out by now. India has so much to offer but we don't do a good job creating a supporting infrastructure and cleanliness.
Things changing though. Slowly. Hopefully we rise up.
@@rudranil06I am from Spain, I wouldn't recommend focusing in tourism xd. We have too much tourism it's bad for locals
@@TheJuanjo234 Spain and India are in two very different boats. Spain is a high income country and India is a lower middle income country. We need the tax revenue and the business if we are to rise up. ❤️
@@rudranil06 Spain was a lower income country and one of the things that helped Spain rise up is Tourism. The problem here is that tourism is variable and it create low pay shitty jobs. It is way better focus the resoruces in improving the industry rather than tourism. Tourism is good in short terms but bad in long terms.
Not enough people talk about Santiago's metro, I can say that it's so good we rely on it 99.9% of the time, which is a double edged sword sometimes because if anything happens in any of the lines the entire city will notice there's something going on, it was praised a lot during the panam games last year. I personally use buses more because they are mostly empty and I can sit and there are no stairs but if I'm in a hurry, metro is always the safest option in Santiago
I'm glad you made this video I thought it was just me who found it complicated when I was on holiday there from England
Never been more grateful for New Delhi metro. You can basically get anywhere and it will at max take an hour.
What if there is accident? Because the train system in Japan can also halt for hours when there is accident even a minor accident
Sarah you so hit it on the nail 😂
American exceptionalism at its best! Number one!
"And to all these cities, why don't you step it up and get on our level?"
Singapore, a country🗿
Singapore's train systems are leagues above anything in the usa.
Wa
Singapore, Asia. Hurmm not long time ago it’s Temasik, Johor Darul Takzim.
Remember, it’s over 150 years old 😅
Many ones in Europe like berlin or London is very old and is way better, like London subway who is older (160 years old) yet far better. Europe is just better ig
The London Underground is older, yet most agree it’s a much nicer system to use 🤷
Didn’t the first line (Lex?) start in 1904?
PS I see that some above ground IRT sections apparently were already in operation by 1885. So I stand self-corrected.
You need to subtract the time the lines are in maintenance. Corrected age is somewhere between 5 and 10 years.
Almost had me at the beginning 😂
I went to New York once with my girlfriend. When we were looking at the map, visibly speaking French, the whole wagon stood up and helped us get to the aquarium. New Yorkers are a different breed.
MTR after Watching this:
we have the best transport system in the world
the only thing the MTA has over MTR is the 24/7 train service. Last year I was in NYC and after being spoiled by the MTR growing up in HK I hated the NYC subway. It is so insane how poorly it is maintained. The MTR charges way cheaper prices usually, depending on the distance, and even ignoring what they make from property, they make like 200% of their train operating costs back
I’ve been to NYC as a tourist many times, and the only scary experience I’ve ever had was when I got lost on the subway by going too far outbound at 2 am. I completely misread the map and had to wait at a desolate spot (pre-smartphone) for the trains to start again.
