LA started the modern freeway! That is part of our legacy.

Meanwhile, ny'ers try to keep pumping up an imitation of the European subway system, to try to seem relevant. ha!

Too what? You haven't made a point in this entire thread. You always disappear when you're answered and show up day or two later and act like you haven't been shown up.

La had to find someway to connect its endless suburbs since it couldn't grow into a real city.

What are you talking about. The NYC subway is one of the first subways in the world.

Quote:
The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system owned by the City of New York and leased to the New York City Transit Authority,[3] a subsidiary agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and also known as MTA New York City Transit. It is one of the oldest and most extensive public transportation systems in the world, with 468 stations in operation (422 if stations connected by transfers are counted as a single station);[1] 229 miles (369 km) of routes,[4] translating into 656 miles (1,056 km) of revenue track; and a total of 842 miles (1,355 km) including non-revenue trackage.[5] In 2007, the subway delivered over 1.562 billion rides, averaging over five million on weekdays, 2.9 million on Saturdays, and 2.2 million on Sundays.[1]
The New York City Subway trails only the metro systems of Tokyo, Moscow and Seoul in annual ridership and carries more passengers than all other rail mass transit systems in the United States combined. Among the world's busiest metro systems it is the only one to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
