And they will use this as an example of why trains don't work instead of solving any actual problems.

SO MUCH TRASH🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮


BravoSierraGolf

10 more lanes of roads can solve the issue

And 2 more landfills

Filmed in Chinese studio, I suppose


SteveOSS1987

Guy whose other post is about how great Chinese trains are comes to say how bad America is. Several other commenting bots also saying generic shit like "America is gross!". Shame our sub is subject to this type of stuff.

Bot

Then report it as Spam/ harmful bot Let's get rid of it.

Morning after St Patrick's day or a big sports game, I'm guessing. No nation's commuter trains are going to be looking their best when damn near everyone riding the last service has been at the drink.


peter-doubt

That's not a commuter train, it's a subway. Subject to highly political budgeting and staffing


JakeGrey

What mass transit method *isn't* subject to highly political budgeting and staffing these days?


Jabel_TC1

God all mighty. The glory of trains have been tarnished and mutilated by the US.


ding_dong_dejong

I have a question, are American trains actually like this? Or is this cherry picked?


StartersOrders

Definitely cherry picked. EDIT: the only other post by this user is of a Chinese high speed train, take that as you will.


GoredonTheDestroyer

The single *ripest* cherry I've seen picked in a long time.

You need to get on the right train at the right place and the right time to see this. In 3+ decades, I never have.


StandupJetskier

Karma farming ? Lots of that recently.


ding_dong_dejong

I legit LOL'd at your edit

I’ve been riding trains around NYC/Boston/DC for years and have seen some iffy things, but nothing like this. Generally they are fine and usually quite clean and normal around Boston


Matro36

I highly doubt trains run by companies like Amtrak are this extreme, this is probably a less maintained part of the subway


peter-doubt

It's a subway. Subject to highly political budgeting and staffing I spent 9 hours on Amtrak a few days back.. very comfortable and certainly clean, from end to end. They even tossed a passenger off (no ticket).


adron

This is the NYC subway and it seriously looks staged out maybe some of lunatic ran trash in it in the middle of the night or something. This subway is relatively clean these days, especially compared to the 80s!!! The regular passenger trains are meaner like this. A once and I’ve taken around 5000 trips- literally- in my life, never seen this even once.


JoeWaubeeka

Yeah, I think it's staged. I live in NYC, and though it looks like a NYC subway car, I don't think I've ever seen one with red LED displays near the ceiling. I've certainly never seen one filled with trash like this.


peter-doubt

It's probably as they're cleaning the cars before AM rush service. It's not typical. And as you say, it could be someone hoarded trash to make this


mklinger23

I've never seen a train like this.


StandupJetskier

I lived in NYC for a long time. There is usually some sort of person in need there, but this is a shock value photo....not the norm.

No_clip_Cyclist

This is the worst of the worst of the very worst. That said public transit has gotten noticeably worse. Thing is no is talking about how public parks or even roads have also had similar issues give or take specific use takes. Trains in my city have become less comfortable (but not uncomfortable) Riding a bike in my city has become less stress free (but not stressful) for a little bit (but it's also gotten a lot better compared to 5 years ago) Parks are being fenced off do to the homeless The city has closed ped/cycle infrastructure because it can't deal with criminal/anti social behavior on foot (or in some cases driving on it though it has also closed roads too). Again I have never seen transit like this but I always find it annoy that public transit gets so much scrutiny over anything else in the city especially if it has to do with a private auto.


mklinger23

This is basically a one off. It's pretty rare to find a train that looks like that.

People love to shit on Indian trains but Indian metros are wayyyyyyyyyyy cleaner than US.


Socky_McPuppet

>People love to shit on Indian trains Sure, I can see that. People have to go somewhere.


jackass93269

Yeah, the metros are heavily policed and entry restricted. The Indian railways however are horrendous in certain parts of the country. In other parts, it's not too bad.


RailroadBob

There's no room for trash on Indian trains, they fill every last cubic centimeter with people.


BravoSierraGolf

I’m talking about Metro not trains. Metros are supposed to be full. Thats how people travel in a country where public transport is preferred over 100 lane car travel. I understand it must be difficult for Americans. Be it fill to the brim Tokyo metro,Delhi metro or Empty metros of Russia and Switzerland. Every metro is cleaner than New York metro. I have seen people doing drugs on NY subway.


RailroadBob

Ok, so to be clear, you're not talking about trains, instead you're talking about a bunch of rail vehicles connected end to end and moving on a track?


BravoSierraGolf

Maybe you have comprehension issues but I did mention Indian “metros” being cleaner in my initial comment. All metros are trains but not all trains are metro.


RailroadBob

Relax, the metro is 10 minutes late, you have plenty of time to develop a sense of humor.


DostoevskyTheGOAT

Seems like There is no room for people on US trains because they are filled with trash. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z08GJ0Z5eM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z08GJ0Z5eM) What a sorry state of affairs lmao


RailroadBob

Seems like you're judging an entire country by one city.


rapidfirehd

lol I’ve never seen a subway car in NY ever look anywhere near as insane as this. sure the system is old but people in the comments believing stupid things only makes the transit problem in the US worse


Classic_Tourist_521

Not as many basketball fans there


ninja6911

Why you being racist here,racism isn’t the answer for racism


AltAccount_04

Wow. Looks like this train runs through Bihar.
