What the heck is SMRT? Why make a comparison when people don't even know.
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
Vancouver skytrain: Last train at 12:45am, down 4 maintenance 2x a week in rush hour, & won't run in the snow. Wait times are 15 min apart
Rogahar
Meanwhile London Underground: every 30 seconds and every train is still packed like agoraphobic sardines
vampirstein
the moscow one is the prettiest metro in the world *___*
Leithreas
DC: rush hour interval - 8 minutes, if the train doesn't just disappear forcing you to wait 16.
DarkSock
Awesome! Move to Russia!
lordpotatoes
well we are not talking about Singapore's SMRT. It is flawless. Source: I lived there and have the Paris subway to compare
universalcode
Yeah, the Metro is great and all, but just wait til 2033.

Starting about 8 years ago the MRT (Singapore) reliability has gone downhill, sharply. Aging equipment and a retiring workforce didn't help.

Russian people have to fall in line or they get the boot.

PATH (Jersey to Manhattan) - What's an interval? Like a schedule or something? Is rush hour when there are seats? No, we don't have that.

In Soviet Russia, train rides you!
Megarith
Yeah I don't understand why the U.S.A. struggle with public transportation so much.
MissSiesta
When you have such good stats..

I was in Moscow 2 months ago, it's all true. Before that I was living near D.C. which is probably the worst subway system on earth.

Is actually

Oh sure, the Moscow Metro is great...if you ignore the ghosts, anomalies, nosalises, lurkers, giant amoebas, and the Russian Nazis.

Who's the Smrt one now, hmm?

Smrt means death in certain Slavic languages
TotalSmartAss
M-O-O-N, that spells "smart"

Lived in Moscow for 4 years. Its by far the best underground commuting system in the world.
Gerazius
And the prettiest one too!

MARTA in Atlanta interval: 20 minutes, and your train is just leaving when you get to the platform.
TheFriendlyPineapple
MARTA IS SMARTA. :)
BuddahsBrother
I lived in SG. the trains are efficient and clean, as are the MRT. As for footfall, there aren't many people in SG, 3.6m working folk.

I mistakenly thought the "age: 82 years" was the average age of the passengers. My bad.

Mussolini made the trains run on time.
PartyMagician
He really didn't
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
No. He did.
MottledWoulfe
No he didnt, it was propaganda

*rubs hands together*
ShaunSchaf
the russians had 52 years more to practice
squishybaker
practice doesn't mean anything look at the tube that shit is the oldest and it's packed all day long.
PartyMagician
Moscow's is stupidly packed too. Still works though
BillPostersIsAnInnocentMan
I feel like you didn't understand they were joking
SpecialContainmentProcedures
And some of that practice was probably under... extreme... pressure
agojama
Moscow metro is basically blood stream of the city. And it has free WiFi for all passengers.
PostMoThoin
Functioning public transport is part of the communist ideology.
BeesechurgerProductions
I mean, that's not UNTRUE...
malikcarr
The Moscow Metro was built as a strategic military/gov't asset for the US invasion they've been sure is coming ANY DAY NOW since 1945. Makes
malikcarr
sense that they'd put every ounce of effort into making sure it works right.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
It's sad and amusing how the cold war went/goes. All that focus on the huge military strike that's surely coming.
malikcarr
"Goes" is correct, even today many Russians are convinced Abrams tanks will be driving into Smolensk *tomorrow*.
