NYC subway rats will fuck you up, I joke. City subways are actually decent, maybe not the best, but they get by.

quackers,

Oh lookie, dictatorshp propaganda.

Im_old,

The underground stations in Prague are great as well!

Gazumi,

Hold tight! That trickle down money is on the next train!

Yerbouti,

The only way to truly experience the Montreal’s subway is through the smell.

Today I learned of the Pyongyang Metro. Their trains are really cute!

Kinda feels like you could make a 4 picture graph from each country with varying levels of grime.

Except NK, they probably only have the one spotless one.

Pog,

This reads like a thinly veiled pro-China pro-north Korea propaganda post ngl

BradPittIsGod,

Couldn’t care less about those countries

AndrasKrigare,

*New York City

Other metro systems look way nicer, looking through the images on a “American subway station” search

Easy to have high speed rail when a dictator makes all the decisions and doesn’t have to worry about political opposition or profitability. (Talking about China in case it wasn’t obvious.)

edit: Yes, the U.S. need to improve its infrastructure. But don’t compare us to the likes of China since their form of government gives them an advantage when it comes to large government-backed projects.

Im_old,

Yes, but… London has great underground network qnd service as well without the dictatorship. France too. Stockholm as well. Sorry, your argument is based on one data point only.

balderdash9,

I’m not even sure you know what my argument is. I haven’t articulated a full point so I think there’s some filling in the gaps going on. But what I wrote up above (without people reading into it) is factual.

vzq,

France doesn’t. Paris does.

Here’s another point for ya; age.

London (it’s geographical location)has been a living space and communal hub since 43CE, maybe if we give America a thousand years or so they will also build public transportation.

No, sadly it was much later than that. It’s like saying “shaq can dunk but this stupid fucking infant over there can’t even dribble the ball”. Yes, great point I am so enlightened.

crystalmerchant,

North Korea has a subway system?

rbhfd,

Do you see a subway on that picture?

You can’t have failing infrastructure if you don’t have infrastructure 👨🏾‍⚕️

OurToothbrush,

How would it be physically possible to see a whole subway from that one photo

Ngl this is lazy orientalism. You can easily look up whether Pyongyang has a subway system and find photos taken by Westerners of their subway system

It’s so easy for the propagandists to convince western racists that DPRK is backwards and underdeveloped. www.north-korea-travel.com/pyongyang-metro.html

Yup, that’s me. I’m sure there’s some point you were trying to make there.

endhits,

Yes, and other forms of transportation available.

North Korea, a terrible country with dictatorship, nuclear weapons and no democracy… but hey they have subway stations!

platypus_plumba,

That’s the point of the image. Even NK figured out train stations. I’m not even sure if that’s true, just pointing out what OP meant with the image.

son_named_bort,

Where are the sandwiches?
