Well, “crime-proof” is a bit over the top. Click bait?

I bet you’d get more clicks on a video featuring a ‘clean’ NYC subway car.

I have an old friend, a (very cute) retired Boston transit cop I contacted. He is thrilled with the new NYC cars and sees them as making crimestopping much easier.

People have opinions. People have biases. Almost everybody is almost always only almost wrong or only almost right about almost everything.

Relax.

Wow, NYC is finally catching up to European and Japanese year 2000 metros!

But do you still need to endure the screech of steel wheels on steel rails?

The Montreal subway runs on pneumatic tires. No screech. I had strap time on the Montreal Metro in 67. I also had strap time on the NYC subway in 64. Fortunately dad was a fluent French speaker and reader, who also had lived in NYC in the 30s, so I left the navigation of the systems up to him.
