They need to figure out what to do with the homeless. Modernizing the system would help, it would clean up a lot of it. Those are a lot of troubles they will keep facing unless they work towards a solution.

Yeah but it also is a culture and morality issue as well. Toyko has many more people than NYC and yet their metro system is so clean. No one trying to steal fares and it’s not looked down upon if you take it both rich and poor use it. Here in the USA people treat it like garbage

Right, so mindset and the culture needs to change. Japan and Taiwan have better metro systems, and they respect that it is open for use all the time. It makes it so practical. When I was living in Taiwan, my mrt card was kept full so I could go anywhere. Most of the time, it was faster to take the mrt than it was to drive or take an uber.

The EU has a solid metro line, doesnt it? I think the UK does, too? I think the US is the only place that doesnt have a reliable transit system.
