Another thing about the NYC subway is that it runs 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Not many metros around the world can make that claim.<p>Living in New York, the amazing thing about the subway system is how they keep it running. It&#x27;s old and ridiculously complex, and despite what natives say, the MTA by and large does a good job running it. There&#x27;s no political will to fix it right now. It&#x27;s going to take trains becoming unsafe or costing so much to keep safe that people eventually notice and start making noise about it, I think.
