I love how the NYC subway is quite literally falling apart, by far the most decrepit unsafe looking metro system ive ever been on, and this is where they decide to spend money

Not to say there isn't tons of work to be done but "dingy looking" and ancient =/= unsafe and falling apart. Shit's still safer than driving a car, for example, and it's certainly falling apart less than the T in boston

Very true just giving my worthless outsider’s perspective I guess. Almost anything anyone does is safer than driving a car, isn’t it ?

Theoretically, walking is more dangerous than driving per kilometer. But what this statistic ignores is that you do not walk the same distance that you drive. It also ignores the health benefits of exercise.
