The America Subway has been in service over 100 years; China just constructed may be 20 years ago. You can’t compare the New York subway with the newly constructed subway in China. It’s like compare an old Royce with Tesla. The US has free flow of people whereas China controls the movement of people and especially certain ethnic groups like Uighur and Tibetan. The number of death result from crime on New York subway can’t come close to the Zheng Zhou subway flood one year ago. The number of deaths reported over thousand. So much for new defective subway system.
When comparing technologies used for the construction and operation of the subway, yes, you are absolutely right, China is newer and more advanced, nothing to compare there. But when it comes to maintenance, safety, cleanliness, punctuality and efficiency, you can’t justify America for not complying with basic standards. That “freedom” you are talking about is now allowing drugs, deadly massive shootings, social inequality, these are serious problems that China would never see. Anyway, this video is focusing on how the experience of riding a subway is totally different in world class cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, Harbin, Chongqing, Shanghai or Suzhou, rather than the one you can get in San Francisco, New York or Philadelphia. Thanks for watching
@@RafaGoesAround It has nothing to do with the system of government -- Japan is a democracy but has one of the cleanest and most punctual transit systems in the world. New York City is just incompetent in running its metro system.
America has literally one of the worst public transportation systems in the world, I don't know why people think they're making a point when they compare American public transportation to other countries. The New York Times publishes an article every week about how awful the MTA is. Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Zurich, Stockholm, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, etc. all have very clean and modern transit systems with 97-99% punctuality and New York has a punctuality of like 60%. You can have a country with punctual transit that also manages to not imprison people for simply protesting against the government.
夹带私货不道德！
As a Chinese, thank you for telling me that our government is restricting people's free movement.
I knew there would be people discussing freedom and democracy in the comments, but it’s okay, this is a free world, everyone can discuss freely, but you need to understand the channels and ways you get information, it’s okay if you get wrong information, please yourself verify whether it is correct, rather than blindly hearing hearsay
The mind boggles that many North Americans still believe they are the most advanced in the world.
Because they have the highest GDP for the reason that they can print $.
Just let them keep dreaming!
Trust me, they're incredibly stupid
And they call the ideas that lead to the constant smell of urine in the subway cars "progressive".
We're still waiting for your country to land on the moon. Maybe shoot up a satellite or two. Can you make airplanes yet?.... 😂
I'm Japanese and I was shocked at the public transport system when I visited New York. I saw many homeless, rats, trash, and drug use. It was very eye opening experience.
😂 I also shocked when I heard Muslim in media was terrorist sadistic killer murder but in facts. They are more christian and applied Bible than christian it self 😂
And discreet sex on New York subways at night alot, anything goes pretty much

Now I am back in Canada and the number of drug addicts and homeless people is impressive and with them the sea of garbage they leave behind. For many it is difficult to understand the level of security and tranquility of the Chinese metropolises because they have never set foot in Chinese territory.

Yes I saw Carl Zha tour of Moscow. Their subway station are works of art!
When a place is clean and beautiful, people will pay respect naturally
Exactly. I lived in NYC and California for 25 years and I now live in Russia with my wife and baby. The comparison is not even close. The subway system here stretches for hundreds of miles and a network that the US subway system can only dream of. Aside from the subway system, Russia is beautiful, cultured, clean, safe and family friendly

When I traveled to China I was completely amazed by how clean, modern and well organised everything is. In the west we are inundated by anti-china propaganda so spending time there is the best way to get an objective understanding. The truth becomes very clear that the Chinese government works to enhance its citizens' quality of life whereas our western governments work to keep corporations happy to fund their campaigns. No comparison.
China has an homogeneous population standing like One. Western world has "diversity" which is killing western societies
No comparison.. The usa is the most advanced country in the world.. democracy is messy. But freedom is still better than what happens in china.
@@TheArt0053 the most advanced but they don't even have 5g or driverless taxis. 😆😆 Yeah, so much freedom that the Israeli lobby owns all of Congress so they work for Israel's interests and not US citizens.

For a Law & Order country: New York subway stations have roughly 19.5 crimes occurring daily.
I had travelled to the Beijing and Shanghai subways...the differences is like day and night.
That's because China did not practice black slavery centuries ago. So it's not a fair comparison. 🤣
Fool so you mean black is crime ?
American politicians are still sleeping on their jobs.
@@captives6479 still crying about blacks? i can tell based on your username. And yes they did. All races were slaves at one point or another. Blacks even had other blacks as slaves, and yes whites were slaves as well, you have been brainwashed, go do research. You blacks just like to stay oppressed and complain
In US, crimes are commited by criminals. While in China crimes are commited by the gov. Try making negative video about China while living there openly, see what happens..
Chinese are very disciplined people
I'm so agree with you about China metro. on last day my trip at Shanghai we need to take metro to airport, by almost mid of the night, but we feel so safe even though there was not much people there. They have security each line to watch you, bright, clean and comfort, its feel safe and it is safe. btw im a little woman with only my niece travel with me. We're just affraid of ghost because it was so late 😂😂😂
在中国，你几乎可以24小时畅行。这里有最强大的治安管理体系，尤其对于外国友人更是十分重视他们的安全。
There are some legends of ghosts and monsters in Chinese folklore, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ghosts and monsters were banned from appearing（建国后禁止成精）

The US govt spent $300 million a day on the Afghanistan war for 20 years! Imagine if it had spent this on their Infrastructure and tranport system instead of endless wars and conflict.
they like blood, death, suffering and destruction. God will punish them dearly for what they did to other nations... It's just a matter of time..
thay not spend the money on afghanistan it when in to rich people pockets that's the problem to much Corruption at the top
Yes but what were those 300 million a day spent? On buying weapons and equipment for war. From who? From american military industrial complex companies. All wars USA is involved in are simply a transfer of money from american taxpayers into the pockets of politicians and military company owners. Politicians start the wars to make money for their friends in the military industrial complex companies, and the media they own as well spreads the propaganda to make the people think these wars are necessary, and while lying to people that these are wars for their freedom or for protection of their country, which is a total lie. It's such a disgustingly evil and corrupt system.

Promise
@@puzhao1639 for sure!!!
@@alexracoon4513it's not seems, it's 10000% for sure
China is very advanced and technologically advanced. It is a cashless society, and there is no need to carry cash. There are no homeless people, drugs, robbery and violence in China. Other than some culture shock to get used to, it's much better than the US.
I’m visiting china too as well the thing I realized about being born and growing up in the United States is that they fail to update its services and the way they do things
Actually a lot of Americans like to say oh how can you compare such an old system like NYC with a spanking new one like Shanghai. Well, a couple things totally inane with that comparison. Firstly, how do American systems compare with older systems like the Paris Metro, London Tube, Vienna and Berlin Ubahns? Secondly, even Los Angeles newest A line and E line light rails are suffering many issues such as homeless, crime, dirty trains, frequentcy of service, etc.
Not to mention that the Beijing subway was made in the 60's, so it's not new. It's just maintained properly.
@@derbigpr500Beijing old lines have been upgraded for 3 times since 1969 , the security gate installed few years ago for the old lines as well
Although it is not fair to compare the old subway in the United States with the newly built subway in China, the subway in a civilized country should not have rats, should not have a smell (maybe urine), and should not be a lot of garbage on ground. They just used the money invading other countries and bring them demo-crazy not maintaining their own countries.
@@weizhang2834Regular maintainence with government funding is good for the public, that is why Richard mentioned London metro Vs. NY metro. certainly London metro is far better than NY , both were built a century ago.
Part of it, imo is the Freedom mindset and the lack of enforcement of rules and law. If anyone would try to pull even a centimeter of what these Muricans pull on a daily basis in my country, they would be dragged off of the system by the guards. Terms of use are quite strict. Maybe NYers and many other cities in the Murica ought to stop voting for the people that allowed crimes to fester, but oh well. What do i know? I'm just an asian foreigner🤷♂️
So, i'll continue to watch all the chaos unfold from here with popcorn in my mouth, as i laughed away over y'all misery. Y'all get what y'all voted for. Lol. I don't feel bad for stupids.
This is why having a strict policy or law is still important for people to respect each other,laws and places...and sometimes too much freedom is not good
@witch18Lho Exacto 👍
I think US has more strict policies than China does.
Glad you are safe and unharmed. I took the subway in Philadelphia a few years ago and it was one of the worst experiences ive ever had. First it smelled like urine and drugs. There was urine all over the place. Second on the train and in the station people were on drugs taking and selling drugs. I too felt very unsafe and sick from the smell. I dont know why America does not invest in its own people but would rather send billions on manufacturing weapons and war. Thats the difference between US and China
China's military budget has been doubling year on year. Most people have enough money in the U.S. to drive a car. Only poor people take the subway.

Totally agree with you. I used to take NYC’s subway regularly. I frequently encountered what you showed here. It’s always depressing and sometimes dangerous.
I agree. I just came back from NYC and I was verbally abused almost daily by aggressive homeless people.

NYC got much higher GDP per capita than any Chinese city, but American elites from Wall Street and Military-industrial complex, they don't use metro at all.
American elected politicians are busy with building military bases surrounding China than improving basic infrastructure for regular daily commuters/American voters,
It always take some courage to use subway in US while it is usually a pleasant trip with Chinese subway unless it is the peak traffic time😂
in NYC, when taking the subway, you get to experience real freed0m....freed0m to be stabbed and sh0t at and it is like living a real life adventure where you don't know if you're gonna get out alive. Amarikans love it, it's part of wild wild west.

I respect you for travelling to the US to do a proper comparison between the two metro systems
I'm from Spain. In 2019 I went on vacation to NY and in 2017 to Miami. And I was surprised by how bad public transport is in the USA. Especially in NY, the subway seemed to me the worst after knowing the one in most European cities. The state of decline of public infrastructures in the USA is surprising. I also thought the highways were very bad. In very bad condition.
New York subway is also the most expensive to build on per mile basis in the world, not just comparing with China. I am thinking that is either massive incompetence or corruption in US.
@@purplenaturellc733 I was talking about the building cost, not the staff running the subway. And if the staff are paid that well, and let subway ill maintained like that, what does that say about work ethics of these staff?
@@purplenaturellc733 Of course there are forced cheap labour in US, perhaps the largest scale in the world. Didn't you read prison labour brochures? That is just about the only part American manufacturing still competitive.
@@purplenaturellc733 Yeah, for rich people, they could even get a butler in prison (Read "Wolf of wall street" you will know that). But the rest of US prison inmates are working for a full day to be paid enough to buy toilet paper. I don't think you really know much about the world, or even US.
@@purplenaturellc733 You are either obviously ignorant or have an American superiority complex, that is just a fact.
Wow I'm from Brazil. Apparently, São Paulo's subway is much better than NYC's subway.
It's one of the oldest systems in the world. If they maintained it well, it could have been a subway system full of character and interesting features and history .. but they just. Never. Did.

Literally every metro system is better than US metros or subways.
@@Blinky.CattttNY tries to maintain their subway system, but the dirtiness always comes back a few days later, same with the infamous hood like Kensington in Philly, city government cleans up the trash/needles on the street overnight but it returns to it's old self a day later. It has to do with self discipline, well I guess that's what a democracy/free country is all about, every one is for himself/herself.
Almost any other subway is better

The US spends $800 billion a year, far and away the world's largest military expenditure, but it is not willing to reduce some of its military expenditure to upgrade its own subway system for the people, because it is not profitable for capital to upgrade the subway system.
US don’t even upgrade its military system, the corps are just hogging the tax payers money

They spend more on military expenditures than 9 countries behind them combined. Their shadow rulers make billions from wars and use fear and propaganda to rule the world. But this comes to an end. More and more countries are resisting them and cooperating with China.

The main difference is that China is building subway to transport people and the US is building them to make money!
You are right!😘😘Many subway systems in China are operating at a loss.😘
@@shingyu_ Chinese subway system is not for profit, it was built to service the people which is what every government should be doing. it is a noble thing for a government to subsidize an infrastructure that its society needs. Just like the water system, the communication system, the electrical power grid and generation, the public education, the public hospitals, welfare, etc. - do you get my drift?
But you're wrong, a lot of metros in China are making money.
The US isn't building public transportation to make money. There is no money made on public transit. It's building public transportation because it is necessary.

I live in Los Angeles county. The subway(or called Metro) line from downtown LA to where I live was constructed in 2016. I have ridden it twice but do not feel safe to ride it again. I am lucky to own a car so I can get around driving myself.
The US goverment spends round about 1000 billion dollars a year only for their military. Of coarse, there is not much left for the american "livestock". Take a look at the moscow subway. It is over 80 years old and looks perfect. Russia spends only 70 billion $ a year for military.
My Airbnb has been a disaster in the USA , every week someone steal something, from a scale, to a bowl, towel , and I have to replace the sheets from time to time because of the stain , and most of them got 5 star reviews from other hosts.

I would suggest Americans visit china. The natural scene, city view, culture, and hospitality will be a mind blowing.
Even Southeast Asian countries subway or metro systems are much more cleaner, safer, cheaper, better, punctual and more modern than what you get in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
When I rode the subway to visit Harvard University, it was very dirty and scary too. Not just inside the subway station, but also the environment right outside the campus.
My friend was robbed outside of University of Southern California too.
Welcome to America! The Land of opportunity. Here, you’ll find devious criminals and government devising schemes to rob you, abuse you , or use you.
I’ve rode that subway to Harvard many times and it’s retro, old school and quaint. Not scary at all, just old.

China next level don't compare with America ❤
The reality is that the US couldn't build infrastructure like China even if they tried.
The US lacks the skilled civil engineers and planners capable of handling massive and complex infrastructure projects 😢
they have experienced engineers and workers but worked very freely and slowly.
Reality is that nothing in the US is a priority due to corruption. The government would rather spend billions on a proxy war than improve the country
The problem is that "our government" wants to spend money on wars and not on the things that are needed in the US.
I think it's even more than that. The whole sytem is dysfunctional, from the bidding process to the work ethics and cost overuns. You will always see 3-4 workers lounging around watching the 1 guy working in the hole.
In my state it took them 3 years to widen and reroute a stretch of less than 1 mile highway.section. To top it off the company took contaminated soil that they were paid by another state to dispose off properly and used that soil at the work site in our state.

All underground metro stations are air conditionined. All metro stations platform installed safety screens wall.
Mobile signal are covered all metro systems.
Some metro lines are running 160km/h. Pls, check Guangzhou metro line 18 and line 22 which are running 160km/h between some segments.
The ridership in Guangzhou metro are 2.3 billion per year in recent years.
That's the busiest metro in the world.
The first subway in China is Beijing line No.1, opened in 1969. It's over 50 years old and has been upgraded, looks similar to brand new.
It's unreal what they put up with here in the U.S. Bums, drunks, homeless, crazies, criminals, body odor...all over public transportation.
Amarikans shouldn't complain given their priority is not transportations but rather the feeling of freed0m and dem0cracy.
Amazing that China can’t provide proper tsp water infrastructure and improve its doctors per citizen ratio. Horrendous social infrastructure ranking
You talkin' about my family?😂😂😂😂
It's so mind-blowing to see that they are metro stations outside of the US such as in iran and Singapore which look better than the ones in the USA!
Whats so surprising about it ? You should check out the videos of delhi metro as well and compare how advanced it is (minus the fancy stations of China). Most Indians are competing with China, not USA.

Passengers in India ride on the roof of the train. There are countless fell from the roof of the trains every day.
@@TheKkpop1people in India don't ride on top of trains, don't believe everything you see on internet.
It's true, Delhi metro is impressive, there is more than 350km of metro network, trains run on time and are maintained very well, there are driverless metro trains running as well.
The USA is a big mouth. You can't believe others are better than you. 😅😅😅😅

While in Massachusetts USA they've finally agreeing to update the railway system between Boston-Springfield after a 7 years battle. This new modern state of the art railway line will be 90miles(144km), and the journey will take about 2.5hrs. That's the ungodly superfast speed of 36mph. Plus the proposed passenger train will have to seek approval from a major railway company, CSX, to use their busy freight railway line.
Massachusetts actually knows what they’re doing unlike the rest of the US/World
I came back from taiwan a few months ago and their subway stations may not be as beautifuk but they are very well maintained with modern designs, stores that are clean, and most of their main subway stations are all built in with shoppings, so they have stores, restaurants and everything, its big as hell too, i miss taiwan modernized life AS an tourist, ofc living there is different
so surprise the subway managers in New York can get that much money, they can use the money for upgrade for the subway like China. China subway really is incredible. thanks for sharing !! nice video by the way
New York subway maintenance money went to Nazis in Ukraine.
Can't upgrade money needed for military aids to Ukraine and Taiwan.
@@first-gordonchang9510 can’t upgrade easily because it will infringe on other’s property ownership rights which none to worry in China. Chinese don’t own property unlike Americans. In China, Chinese government can dismantle anybody’s house if it so desires. The upgrade has nothing to do with aid to poor nation or any democratic nation under the threats of communist regime.
你们想用我们的叛徒省份台湾来牵制我们，我们何尝不是拿台湾来做诱饵呢？😬 （台湾、美国、日本、韩国）
I HATE the nyc subway for all the reasons you mentioned but you missed one of the worst since you weren’t here during the summer. It is super hot because there is no airflow or ventilation on the platforms let alone AC.
No aircon? That's ridiculous, considering NY is supposedly the richest city in US
Agreed, the unbearable hot airflow mixed with urine and sweat smell makes people sick and angry.
@@JJr-ce3vv Oh damn, that's revolting 🤮
@@JJr-ce3vv::: dude, that’s the NYC ambience your are experiencing through your nose. Be grateful, thankful, and hopeful.
@@JJr-ce3vvthat's terrible 😢😢
Even Delhi and Bengaluru Metro in India are much cleaner, safer and modern than NYC subway😂😂🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Haven t u seen chennai metro. It is more cleaner safer to commute even at late hours
Your video is amazing ❤I just subscribed it
Subway in China is the Best of the World, everything in China is the Best
No. Look at the rankings. We don’t do cherrypicked shite.
Yes! Everything in China is the Best
No, e.g. chinese male football @@aventurascomtadeu
Ha not everything. I'm in China and air quality has a lot of room for improvement for example. Granted we're better than India but that's a very low bar...
China is the Best 😀@@abraxalito
Rafa, you are very brave to carry a video or phone camera to film your blog inside the NY subway.
I do this all the time, I live in New York, and never have the fear of being hurt.
Great comparison!
Hey Rafe . It’s good choice and wise to living in china .
Best luck for you .
The pertinent question is: how can a country print so much paper and spend so much, on matters that only benefit few among its ruling elite, can be so blind to the fact that you still need to maintain a resemblance of functional transportation system, given that NY is the front window of the US for tourism and financial center?
that is the definition of c0rporate amarika.
Because they don’t give a rat ass about the people. The people are just a revenue source. Americans are stupid slave still waving the flag and wearing a flag patch.
US is a plutocracy. The minority elites rule it and they dun care about the people
The obvious answer is that the system has been bent to benefit the few, and the welfare of the rest is largely irrelevant as long as they do not/are unable to rise up against the few. We have to stop kidding ourselves that politicians care about the person in the street. We are just (ineffectual) votes in a farcical display of democratic motions.
If you look closely, you will find that China's subway platforms have safety doors made of tempered glass, which greatly guarantees personal safety
Isn't this the basic configuration In China ? Just like a girl walk on street at midnight no worry about safty , drink beer on the street why you are so shock？？
Actually, you don't need to "looks closely" to see it.😇
@@moonwinghuang3913 Just like a girl walk on street at midnight? Wtf you talking about? On the subway platform without safety gates, feeling the wind brought by the train, I never dare to stand next to the yellow line because you don't know if there is a madman standing behind you pushing you off the tracks. And every year there are cases of falling off railroad tracks and dying in countries around the world. It's not the same thing as a girl walking down the street
@@user-jr1ch1zd6v He was trying to say that in China, subways having glass doors for safety is just as ordinary as a pretty girl walking safely at midnight without needing to worry about getting harmed.
In China, the government loosing a lot of money on things like subway system just to get better living environment for people, because the cost to build the basic construction is really high due to new and morden style and good quality of the construction, and the money is from government, not extra cost from people using some unreasonable titles.
Thank you very much for presenting the subway in China fairly.
China is working very hard to improve the lives of the Chinese people
Correct 👍🏽
I’m from Philadelphia. Now live in the suburbs. The thought of taking subway now is a big no no. I avoid going into the US cities anymore.
Your city philadelphia is very famous now in China， Because those camping zombie guys on the street...
@@jiedeng3583 Ah yes, good ole Kensington. The neighborhood where Rocky was filmed has literally turned into a zombie apocalypse. The fact that the States really treat their own people like that is gross.
Philadelphia - City of Zombies
American subways are old which are over 100 years old, but China has much more advanced technology which means this cannot be compared as China has constructed its subway at nearly 20 years ago, and the first subway in Beijing is Line 1 for over 50 years, but now there are brand new subway networks which looks much more advanced and new.
This is the art, the art in American, so special, people like it ...
Difference is china gvt is for the people directly ..us gvt is for cooperations
The Chinese government can consider the interests of the people, while the US government basically only considers the interests of the elite.
Corporations
For the people who disappeared? Sounds like a mafia state. People love it though . Give me freebies and I’ll support your evil enterprise. Baa baa.
Drinkable tap water?
Not just the subway system, China's overall modernization level exceeds the world's imagination, and they live in the future.
👍, and we often forget Chinese have uninterrupted civilisation that date thousands of years.
They are outside top 50 for developed nations and outside top 20 for overall infrastructure, obviously. Cherrypicked shite bores me
Have you looked at China's economic growth lately? The numbers do not agree with you.
@@geraldvance7925 Of course, under the comprehensive trade war and technological blockade led by the US against China, China's growth has slowed down. But the it is still better than US.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez Slum/Homeless America has largest debts on the planet. Don't take my word for it. Look it up. Infrastructures are crumbling.
Yessssss !!!! I been to both New York n Beijing. I will never ever go back to NY. Just to be able to get out ALIVE, i am grateful. 😢😢
Can't wait to go back to Beijing. Feeling so safe and so fun. ❤❤❤
i have been to senegal ,africa and even they have better railway station than usa
There are many railway stations in the local area that were built with low-cost assistance from China
The railway stations in Africa are built by China
The NYC sub way could makes lots of money if they turn it into some kind of theme park horror ride.😂
Damn, they should hire you as their marketing manager and maybe they can charge 29.99 instead of 2.9. And then the MTA might finally get the budget to fix it up.😁
The ultimate Halloween theme park, that'd be genuinely scary! 😂
For most advanced or NYC #1 is not working anymore and they should Marketing for scary ride would attract more tourists 😂
good idea!
The last of us
As an Australian in China, I gotta say that the subway in China is extremely spectacular and advanced!!!!!!! Speaking of which, riding on the Australian Subway, was decently reliable too!!!!!
However, I don't know what to say about NYC Subway's current status it pretty much has people randomly spite one another and even subway brawls, it's a huge difference between China and America.
NY subway is nice, good for adventure.
Well it's really a sad story to see the subway system in the US, a country that used to blow my mind away whenever it came to our daily conversation. I have been to the US twice and on my last trip I was still admired by the technology when witnessed from the window of the bus a bridge being built from one side of a cliff across to the other side somewhere close to Hoover dam in 2009 as far as I can remember, since then everything started to change while China devoted all its efforts into building a society for the wellbeing of its people, the US just spent time smearing and hindering China unwittingly ignoring the wellbeing of the most valuable core asset of a country, its people, this has been attributed to the selfish narrow hegemonic mindset strategy of the politicians, representatives of the country's stake holders, By sacrificing the wellbeing of the people in return for their own benefits they have directly turned the US into a hell on earth as we can see it today.
Why is the US putting $billions on arm conflicts instead of the well being of its people?
USA is nowhere close to hell on earth
Hell on earth?? What a hateful weirdo.

@@indiasuperclean6969Your sarcasm is funny as hell. You are being sarcastic, right?
Chinese infrastructure is the best and rapidly expanding. The US infrastructure is horrible and rapidly crumbling.
US ranked No. 3 overall for infrastructure. Think China outside top 20 . Cherry picked shite bores me.
When I first came to NYC in 2000, the subway condition wasn’t good, but at least I felt safe. Now 20 years later, the condition deteriorated. What is worse is the crime rate. I just don’t feel safe riding subway anymore specially at night.
I've been to Shenzhen. The subway tracks aren't exposed like in NYC. Just add a glass wall with automatic doors. Then nobody can be pushed onto the track.
Do you not realize the amount of urine and feces that would end up smeared on those glass barriers in the US?
America is falling down for the profits of corporation, same business as usual in America.
Although not on the same scale, the Bangkok transport system puts NYC to shame. You have the sky train and MRT that are expanding rapidily. Both are clean, reliable and safe! This is a country that some see as 3rd world and 30 plus years behind the states. Don't make me laugh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I have plan for a vacation in NY but i might change my mind now.
The NYC subway system used to have restrooms, vending machines, and other amenities. But they took them out in the 1970s due to vandalism and people being shady.
The irony is that Chinatown is the neighborhood that Americans like to visit most. There are cheap and novelty Chinese goods, delicious Chinese food and various festival performances, and the law and order in Chinatown is also higher than other neighborhoods.
You have nailed it. Clean, well lit and safe in China as compare to dirty, dark and dodgy environment in the US subways. The dirt on the platform and the urine smell can be jet-washed but no one cares because the money isn't there even NYC charges 5 times more money to use the subways than China.
It’s a shame that China has such clean metros and public services, but if you want to eat clean food in China you’re definitely not in luck because of all the gutter oil and sewage going around
@@YandereDevSings And you believe that? Chinese people must be dumb to you! that they don't care about the environment and their own health. Why not check it out who are dominating the Doha 2024 Aquatics medal table. If the champions are fed by gutter oil and sewerage may be you should consider it too!
@@YandereDevSings70년대중국을 말하는겁니까?
travel abroad is eye opening.
Mind blowing
China's subway systems are just incredible.
If they can have clean trains why can’t they have clean food like the rest of the world? Y’all need to stop eating gutter oil and sewage it’s not good for you
I've been on the NY subway on 2 trips when i visited about 10 yrs ago. Both occassions i saw homeless and mentally unstable people everywhere in the station/on the trains and on one of the occassion i was harrassed by a mentally ill homeless person. It looks like the situation has not improved since then.
I am Russian and I live in Moscow. I visited New York in 2018. The subway in NY is something disgusting, is it supposed to be the subway of the "most developed country in the world"? The metro in Moscow is beautiful, some stations are like walking through a gallery, modern stations are architectural gems. One ride costs 0.50 cents.
I really want to visit your country to see the real Russia.I hope you can also visit China some day in the future.
I did experienced several times of New York subway, some are decent,some are scary, especially at night. In general, they are not well maintained and risk being hurt is high.

China takes care of those who ride public transportation. Here in the US, public transportation is about will you be able to get to where you need to go without getting jumped. Train operators on the subways are only focused on getting to each station, they aren’t responsible for fights happening on trains.
