Do you think you're getting your money's worth with the NYC subway system?

Am in agreement, but if referring to local buses, can tell you they're slow.

For the most part, buses are slow as heck, and are generally not worth taking, except limited buses.

When I take the LIRR, i tend to walk 20-25 blocks daily to work. Most of the time, its faster than the subway. I have been doing this for years!

If walking is such a good option for you, why not skip the LIRR and walk the whole way? <sarcasm intended>

funny, I'm actually a runner. I ran from LI to Manhattan quite a handful of times...loosely 20-25 miles each way. During the blackouts/sandy storms, I actually ran from Queens to Midtown....easy 8-9 miles

It is filthy, dank, smelly, crowded, slow and dangerous!
