and #15: Moscow all maps are from http://urbanrail.net pic.twitter.com/nelh3QyRrb
As you can see there's a lot of variation here...some cities have extensively developed networks, some have only a little (Karachi had nothing at all!) High population is no guarantee of good service--you still have to build it and run it! But if you do, the payoff is huge
London has lots of fare-integrated "commuter rail" at frequencies of 4-5 / hours. If you had a 10 min or better map; NYC would be better than London; 20 min threshold London better [NYC commuter rail is mostly 2 /hour or worse]
the NYC pattern of going from rapid transit with high freq and close spacing to low frequency commuter with nothing in between is weird
yea, it's a problem for any of the larger North American transit cities; feels stranger in NYC given densities and how extensive the rapid transit network is
But a European country like the UK would have taken the mainline network and turned into a medium freq transit network
as Japan did (except hi freq) and as the US should!
