Weirdly, this is exactly how I felt about the New York subway whenever I visited from DC.
- kelsey: I haaaate the DC metro
- me: Oh i know. Doesn't it make you feel smug?
- kelsey: It's archaic! And slow!
- kelsey: And concrete like a bunker!
- me: (yes)
- kelsey: I actually just scoffed at the ticket machine and said, "well in NEW YORK..."
- (The DC metro was built in the 1970s, has crazy-interesting, consistent architecture, and has one of the smartest route naming systems of any major city (they use colors). The New York subway was opened in 1904 and has incredibly low scary ceilings. Also, it usually smells bad.)
