We came close in Boston, a hassle, so we took a cab.

Metro in DC hundred times. Subway in Manhattan at least 25 times.

Rode the U-Bahn in West Berlin many, many times. They had an excellent public transportation system of buses and trains that were clean and safe. You could be anywhere in the entire city in 30 minutes, except for the Soviet zone, of course.

Yup. I ridden on the subway in NYC. The ride from Battery Park to the Bronx was "educational" to say the least. Every time the doors opened it looked a little more like what I imagine hell looks like. My oldest son rides the train/subway in NYC as part of his daily commute.

Not in the US

One in DC, Paris, another one in London. A few airports have them

Not in the USA but I have ridden them in Japan

BART in SF, and also in Madrid.

BART, NYC, Boston

No and doubt I ever will.

Rode the one under the bay to San Francisco. I saw that Schitt in the movies but didn’t know it was real till then. Packed in like cattle and druggies at each stop. Unbelievable! Never going to that Schitt hole state again. Edk

nope…ain’t even seen one in person! hope I never have to ride one either. city stuff ain’t my thing.

Doc_Holidude

The Tube....London

Mind the gap.

Nope , never even seen one in person..

NYC a couple times over a 3 day stay. I don't miss it.

Laugh.. that's some funny crap right there.... I rode Metro for years back in 83 in Washington DC ....and then I went back with the kids on a Civil War battle tour in 2003.... they were so packed on the train that the lady that was hanging out of the pole with me was pregnant with my child by the time we got to her stop

Wasn’t every Deathwish movie based off of some event that happened on a subway??

lol

Must... Resist... Mom joke...

Rick.... said... no more mom joke....

Must... Resist... Mom joke...

Do it

Not in the US, but several overseas

Many a time in London.

I have a couple of times,i don't know how people do it,it's a zoo and it stinks.

Yes. In Singapore

Rented a car the first time I visited Boston. After that I learned to use the subway. It was fairly convenient if you could speak "Bostonese".

My exit was "Park". I had it all worked out and was waiting for it. Every time the subway train stopped the name of the stop was announced over the P.A. system on the train.

I was riding along,...the train stopped,...and somebody shouted "PACK!" over the P.A. system.

Before I realized what had been said I had missed my stop,...had to get off at the next one and walk back.

A couple times in Moscow

DC metro a good bit, sometimes connecting to the MARC commuter train. Used to be a pretty economical option, but it’s gotten very expensive.

Planes, trains, or automobiles, commuting into DC is an expensive, time-sucking PITA. Glad that’s over for me.

Not on a million dollar dare.

Another for the DC metro...

This ^^^^

NYC subway, commuting to work from the NY suburbs from 1987-2017, I hear it’s like a “Mad Max” film now. Just spent a long weekend in the Catskills, didn’t see anyone that wasn’t with me for 4 days. MUCH preferable. LIEberal Cities deserve what they get!

In Chicago

Y'all can have mine.

Only the Washington DC metro, and that was a long time ago. I think Klinton was President!
Carol and I took Ben to see the Smithsonian and the zoo.
We stayed at a hotel in Rockville MD, and across the street was a Metro Station.
At that time you could get an all day pass for 5 bucks.
A half hour ride would get you to DC and there were stations all over. IIRC, the longest walk to any destination was 5 blocks to the Zoo!
All the museums had stops within a couple blocks, and I didn’t have to deal with traffic, which was and is, always horrible in that area.
As much as love the Smithsonian Museums, I have no desire to enter that cesspool now, unless it’s to restore the rule of equal law by We The People.

Does that tram around/under the Atlanta airport count? That's the closest thing to a subway I've ever been on. It wasn't bad in the middle of the day. It saved a lot of walking, too.

Never had the opportunity.

In London and Madrid...

Subway in NYC and Metro in Paris

Ding! "Vodaphone Sol" Ding!

As ratsmacker said, if you've flown through Atlanta (and EVERYBODY has flown through Atlanta) you've almost certainly ridden on a subway. There's some kind of law that no connecting flight can ever be from the same concourse where you deplaned.

The tube several times, NYC / Manhattan daily from 1980 until the mid nineties and afterwards on visits. It’s a different place now and I have no desire to do it again.

A couple times in NYC. Not a big deal.

I've been fortunate to ride subways in several countries in Europe - I don't think any of them are called a subway though. All but 1 was a very pleasant experience and the convenience of it really makes it worthwhile. I remember staying in a hotel outside the city by maybe 12 miles and we'd just hop on the metro at 8pm to go into town to get dinner - 15 minutes later we are a block from the restaurant, no parking hassles, back home by 10pm, all for $3. The bad experience was in France. Some gypsies got on the train and apparently gypsies are the equivalent of homeless crackheads here. They did not want those people on the train and they let them know it. I was unfortunately in the middle of it

I've ridden the Blue Line in Chicago. Between people bringing pitbulls on and homeless people undressing, it was not something I'd want anyone to do. Before riding it we had planned on asking some people to take it from the airport to the office, after a couple of bad experiences from people riding at different times (the other group saw a fight on their car) we opted to rent buses for everyone.

IIRC, the in-town fare was about a buck outside of rush hour when I was riding it. When I was working nights and evenings, I’d park at Gaithersburg or Falls Church for free, because the lots weren’t attended when I got off to go home. Automation closed that little loophole! I could also park free at our Crystal City office if I got there early and walk to the station.

I've ridden them all over the world. How good or miserable they are depends upon the ethnic composition of the city. In Germany & Japan they're great, those in China are pretty good too. London and Paris will get you there without too much fuss but you have to watch for pickpockets. In most U.S. cities you're taking your life into your own hands by getting on them, they're full of gangs and drug addicts.

In many other countries the middle class relies upon public transportation such as subways and trains. In the U.S. public transportation is the realm of the underclass for the most part, people that can afford it will take their own cars with the exception of some super dense places like NYC, Boston or D.C.

NYC all the time when I worked there.

Back in thr late 1970's a friend & I went to New york for a few days of tourist stuff. We rode the Subway several times. It's a bit confusing for thosw new to them. Once as we rode, we discused how to get to where we were heading, a blind Lady overheard us & provided very clear directions. "bless her heart"!

In the USA, have ridden NYC, DC, BART in SF, DART in Dallas. All good experiences. But the Dallas system needs many more lines to adequately cover DFW and needs to jail the indigent.

Atlanta - not so good. Difficult to purchase tickets from automated machines. Infrequent trains between downtown and the airport.

Others:
Santiago, Chile => spotless.
Shanghai & Xi’an China => very clean; good signage
Paris => old but good.
London => way old but charming (some stations built in 1800’s)

Wish we had more. Incredibly convenient.

Germany-seen a guy bangin smack before we got on once.
Rome
London
And NYC

Same here back in my USCG days, stationed on Governors Island, NY City... It was the only way to get around. Even back in 1980-1983, you always had to keep your head on a swivel.

No schidt and they make it so convenient.... ~sarcasm~

Only in London - Everywhere else, is horseback.

That was the Bernard Goetz days

Yes. Born in Midtown Manhattan and until I was six, every Sunday up to Washington Heights for supper. High point of my week, actually. But that was in the early 1960s, things got really rough for a while in the 1970s and early 80s with all the focking taggers and dopeheads. On visit to New York, I still set aside a day just to ride the elevateds and lines that have cars with a front window. And yep, I pay attention to my surroundings. Oh, my.
DC Metro is also the only way to get around DC when there, but again, riders outside of rush hours are a little diverse for my tastes. Or a lot diverse.

Not many in the US, Boston I think. Overseas that was my go too transportation from Moscow to Bangkok. Some cities like Singapore have really nice subways. They are often way faster than taxis.
