This sucks. On a side note: the MTA is run by a bunch of fumbling idiots. NYC subways = horrible service.

name a more reliable mass transit system in America that is as extensive as NYC's and runs 24/7/365 (strike notwithstanding) ... oh, that's right: there is none.

the MTA organization itself might suck but our subways and buses most certainly do not.

If you expanded your criteria to a world wide subway system, then NYC's ain't that great anymore. Brazil for example has some very reliable systems that are actually clean too. Many places in europe too. Its always amusing when foreigners from poor countries come to NYC and are disgusted by the subways...

my challenge was specifically limited to the US because that was the comparison that was most relevant. since i live here and not overseas, being the best in the US is good enough for me.

i'm also sure that those foreigners from poor countries would likely trade their country's standard of living for ours, subways notwithstanding.
