NYC wasn't built for drivers. They learned over a hundred years ago
that the city streets simply couldn't accomodate all the traffic and
it was a nightmare. So they built subways.
It should have been built for drivers.
There weren't drivers when the die was cast.

Lack of foresight on their part.

Troll.

Oh, come on, where's your sense of humor?

At least on a train the time is mine. I can get up and move around if
I want. On some trains there are restrooms, some have food service.
Eh, waiting for a train stinks.
Waiting for anything stinks.

At least I'm behind the wheel in a jam.

That's right. Behind the wheel. Watching a bumper. Which every once
in a while moves a few feet, so you have to keep paying attention. You
can't read a book, write a report, or take a nap.

Sounds just peachy!

Better than being stuck in a subway station waiting for the next
train, whenever that'll show up.

I'm subject to a nameless
entity when I'm on transit. It's sort of like waiting in the airport
and the airline doesn't give you enough information to let you know
what's going on (however, I did have a recent good experience with
Continental a couple of weeks ago -- a first!).

I have to break it to you, but transit agencies have PA systems. Some
(including nearly every European system as well as some U.S. systems --
New York's is finally getting on board) have next-train displays on
station platforms.

Just wait until we use it to judge MTA's performance! It'll come down
in a snap!

When a train is late, you're stuck.
