    Dude. Have you ever ridden the NY subway? It sucks.

    And the bigger issue is the amount of time taken out of the day by a commute when it’s not needed for the vast majority of tech workers.

      It’s a 24/7 subway. It is under funded. It’s gotten worse with distressed folks. But it’s pretty good relative to a lot of other US metros. And commutes always take time. So you can’t fault a method of commuting for that.

      Look at shit like the green line in Boston or all these other half assed light rail solutions that share space with car traffic and get held up for auto congestion and traffic lights. NYC subway doesn’t have that.

      The subway does not suck. I hate using it, but that’s not what they care about. It’s about moving mass not comfort
