Um... if you think that's bad, all I can say is you haven't used public transport in the US. To pick just one thing -- the subway in NYC isn't air conditioned. In a city that regularly sees 80F-95F temperatures with high humidity. In the summer, the subway doesn't make you just sweaty; it makes you pour sweat out of your body. Entering the stations feels like descending the mouth of hell.

And in NYC, the subways break all the time. Like when it rains. Because, you know, that never happens in the city :rolleyes: And again, passenger density in Moscow is no greater than on the green line in NYC. Shoving is worse in NYC. And for the record, I rode the subway I'd at least 600 times.

Or in SF, it's a minor miracle when elevators and escalators work. Or when muni gets you places reasonably quickly. And you see stuff like, well, your halfwit muni driver pulling over to fire up her crack pipe. Or a banger dropping his gun down his pants. Or street trash with an odor noticeable 20 feet away physically assaulting passengers. Etc.

You'll note that in my original post, I compared it favorably to American public transport. The fact that you haven't mentioned, in two exchanges, any comparison except price in LA where Moscow is worse than American transport makes me believe you aren't aware of any. Quoting myself: "Better public transport, at least in Moscow, than anywhere in the US."
