[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer the carpet on rainy days to wet, slippery floors. They're gross, sure, but beats slipping.[/quote] Agreed![/quote] Nobody in NYC once said "Oh, I wish there were carpets on the metro cars". [/quote] I’m wondering if you ever rode the NYC subway in the 1970s and 1980s. It was pretty gross, basically unpoliced and with lots of bodily fluids in lots of different places. Not really comparable to the DC metro in the 70s which was new and fancy and clean. You can debate the relative merits of the two systems—including such things as whether it’s a good idea to sell drippy gyros in the train stations—but they weren’t really comparable in terms of usage, or rules. Sort of like comparing your grandmother’s living room to your brother’s dorm room—carpet might be a better choice for one than the other. [/quote]
