No we wouldn't. Born and raised in England here and the London subway shames DC. New York is better than London though. Less clean but runs all night and is more convenient.  Boston is annoying because it doesn't have estimated times for when the train will come displayed at stations. You have to check online. But the trains generally run on time to their schedule. Both are much cheaper than DC. Paris is better and cheaper than all though. Most of Europe is amazing. Brussels was revelatory. Asia also rocks.

DC is crappy. [b]Expensive[/b], always late, always running single track and closes early. but that's supposed to be fine because it's clean?

The most annoying thing about DC is that when they are doing track repairs, instead of using the system used in London and Paris, which is where they reduce the frequency of trains (e.g. from 5 min to 30 min) to allow the work to be done [u] but the train still runs exactly on time[/u], in DC they just make every train late. So sometimes it will come in 5 min, or 20 min or 40 min. It's impossible to plan and becomes a joke if you change tracks. In London, you would just check the revised schedule and change your plans accordingly. Does the Red line ever stop single tracking?

Also DC attendants are ruder than the French ones and that is saying something. At the information booth, they can see where the trains are and when they will be coming, but ask for information and you will get a mouth full of abuse.

DC transit should not be judged against some podunk US town in no-one-gives-a-fuck-ville, USA. It's supposed to be an international city and it's fair to say that on those grounds, it is very inferior. [/quote]
