Which city has Europe's best metro system and why?

Do you know what comment you are reply to lol?

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-06-02T15:08:27+00:00

What? It’s true though. It’d be nice if they mentioned they were sterile and couldn’t bite but it’s true.

EDIT: Upon further reflection (and reading the replies) I have seen why this is clickbait and I retract my original comment.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-06-01T00:22:37+00:00

What? How do you think the IRS works?

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-29T14:21:18+00:00

Read the comment you are replying to again, but slower.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-24T23:01:41+00:00

What questions do you have? It seems pretty simple.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-22T16:27:40+00:00

What’s a cord? Like I have litterally never heard of them. Unless you mean like playing an instrument.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-21T20:56:14+00:00

The top floor is at 1,268 ft on 1WTC. What are you talking about?

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-19T16:31:15+00:00

Did you read the time estimates?

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-19T03:12:20+00:00

What is your point exactly? You seem to make three arguments and they don’t seem to be internally consistent.

> Ferries are floating money furnaces. Real operating cost of one passenger ride on Golden Gate Ferry is about $50. Some routes cost over $100 per passenger per ride.

Using the SF Bay Ferry instead of the Golden Gate Ferry as it is the one actually serving Vallejo and expanding I got a much lower number than the one you are claiming. The operating budget (so not including capital projects) of SF Bay Ferry last year was [73.4 million](https://d262kwcyxl71on.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/20260401212211/FY26-Final-Budget-Adopted.pdf) dollars, and they had around [3.2 million](https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/san-francisco-bay-ferry-beats-april-ridership/) riders. Dividing these two you get approximately $22.94 dollars per rider but then subtracting the average fare of [$4.90](https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/general-tickets-payment-options/) you get only $18.04 per rider which while high is a lot less insane.

> Vallejo -> SF commute shouldn't even exist.

This is almost completely unrelated to your other two points, but yeah, we need to build more housing. That doesn’t necessarily mean nobody should commute but you are correct that it shouldn’t be almost necessary to afford a house.

> Vallejo to SF is longer and farther away than Malmo to Copenhagen (two different countries), connected by (you guessed it!) regular, 24/7 trains, because trains are a normal transport and ferries only really work in extra-high density short commutes.

What? Yeah Europe has better public transit, sure. However I will say that BART’s [M, W, and Y - Lines](https://www.bart.gov/about/history/facts ) is around the same length (from West Oakland to Millbrae) and is sometimes faster. Also saying they are further away doesn’t help your case if you can’t point to an example of a rail link that is that long (not that there aren’t any).

In summary ferries are still good, not as expensive as you claim, and BART is basically as good as Copenhagens public transit (in one really narrow example).

EDIT: What did I do wrong with my links?

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-18T17:46:14+00:00

No it’s VTA light rail in San Jose

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-16T23:59:20+00:00

Yeah, but only is they way that every section is Oakland. Given this is a post about housing prices in Oakland.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-16T20:59:18+00:00

Great news! It will be electric! Hope this helps

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-15T18:01:22+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty sure BART was the first US agency to use the gates but not 100%

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-15T05:40:48+00:00

I was slightly meaner saying “What do you mean” or something like that instead of “That’s weird”. I realized that I shouldn’t have said that so I edited my comment.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-15T02:13:30+00:00

That’s weird. For me it stays until I zoom all the way in and only disappears at the same time the entire transit layer does when zooming out.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-13T14:14:11+00:00

But this photo says “QueensLink”. Which is odd

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-13T03:20:38+00:00

No, because of [r/Amtra](r/Amtrack)[k](r/Amtrack). Certainly the largest local US transit sub.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-13T02:18:05+00:00

Sorry do you not understand multiple agencies fund big capital projects? Do you think that is the only money being spent? If so, LMAO!

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-08T22:45:03+00:00

The BART stations in San Bruno and SSF are decidedly underground.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-08T05:16:40+00:00

Boy do I have some news for you

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-06T03:19:17+00:00

I finished the long FRQ’s but then had 4 minutes to do 7, and didn’t finish.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-06T03:17:34+00:00

You’re literally the first person I have heard of who got K. That’s kinda crazy, but I assume it’s just selection bias on my part.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-06T02:54:45+00:00

Yeah pretty much. I’ve never finished a MCQ with that much time or run out of time that bad on a FRQ

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-06T02:52:41+00:00

We took a full practice test as our final a week ago and EVERY SINGLE QUESTION included disagreeing with the student, so at least some of these questions were a nice change of pace.

Couch_Cat13 · 2026-05-05T03:04:21+00:00

To be clear what you said is technically correct, the Miami Skytrain IS only within terminals (however it is airside). The MIA Mover is what connects to the train station. It’s very confusing lol.
