The Broad St. Line opened in 1932. The LA Purple Line opened in 1990 .

Baltimore, Atlanta, Miami, DC, PATCO, BART . . . any of the subway lines built in the 70's and 80s are going to seem really nice compared to the lines built in the 20s and 30s.

LA has a really nice subway/light rail system. So does Dallas. It's because they're brand new.

I read they eventually were doing away with tokens and trans passes. They are going to a smart card system at the cost of 1.85 per trip, a 1.00 per transfer. Those that rely on trans passes for unlimited travel will feel the sting big time.

No, you will still be able to purchase a monthly pass on your smart card.
