Speak for yourself, Californian. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been fucked by the subway.
I don’t know about getting fucked, but I hear you can get pregnant on the Subway if you sit in the wrong seat puddle.
I just threw up in my mouth a bit.
Yeah, the lack of good passenger rail in the U.S. does that to me too.
replies in a train
That’s the other puddle
Probably. I leave seats for the elderly and disabled. I have a disability that causes me to manspread if I sit, so I just stand and shift.
Understandable, I too suffer from Bofa.
Fine… What’s Bofa…

BOFA DEEZ NUTZ
Godamnit you did it.

Every ride is a surprise, that’s why we love* the MTA!
*hate
Damn, our education system is so bad they didn’t even teach you to count to fifty?
Username checks out.
What about getting fucked behind a Jimmy John’s? Asking for a friend 👀
You are supposed to get on the train, not the other way around.
Fucked in the subway*
By the subway implies that the subway has been fucking you which I have hard time believing
Nah, you read it right.
I was there, when ocelot stole the rail system from Rex.
Can’t have shit in Shadow moses
I’ll assume that I’m just missing a reference or three because the alternative is that I’m having a stroke.
The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?
WHAT A PRETTY MEME!
THE MISSION IS A FAILURE, TURN THE GAME CONSOLE OFF RIGHT NOW
The only functioning trains the USA has are orgy trains.
Where do I get a ticket?
Your mom is handing them out for free.
Can’t have shit in

I should try that train to Krakow this summer…
So stale and reposted it’s on KYM lol
…but I still chuckled i won’t lie
No functioning rail system
Has largest railroad network in the world
Pick one or specify you mean passenger rail.
Captain Literal! Thank goodness you’ve come!
Lmao I don’t know why, but this fucking killed me
Just because you have a big country doesn’t mean you can claim most functioning rail system. USA has the most km of track, but if you adjust to per capita it’s 20th. That is a better judge
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_rail_transport_network_size
Y’all can down vote me all you want but it still won’t change the fact the United States has a functioning railroad system outside of passenger service. I only mention network size because it was the easiest metric to pull up. But the point is whatever metric you use outside of passenger service the US is in the top three countries which is something not possible unless you have a functioning railroad system.
-
The US is third for tonnes per kilometer.[1]
-
The US is second for tonnes hauled per year.[2]
-
The US moves more intermodal containers by rail then all of Europe combined. [3]
It might seem like the United States doesn’t know how to run trains but in reality we have one of the best freight networks out there.
I’d also like to add that on the passenger side of things the US is really trying to improve but the investments haven’t had time to come to fruition yet. Amtrak has 768 siemens venture cars and 175 ALC-42 locomotives on order so it can expand to 39 new routes [4]. There’s been a significant amount of funding into high speed rails for other corridors outside of the northeast corridor [5].

“We have a functioning car if you ignore that the gas pedal doesn’t work!”
Passenger rail is part of our rail system AND the topic of OP for anyone who can read. Its terribleness is in many ways the freight systems fault (at least Amtrak specifically) so it absolutely loses points on the functional scale since usually things that function well don’t actively damage other related things
Feels like there’s been too many catastrophic accidents to call it functional, maybe that’s just me

Just because it’s large doesn’t mean it’s functioning. Russia has a lot of roads, but functioning would be a strong word for what state they’re in.
From which less than 1% is electrified and don’t even mention high speed networks
No kidding. The fact that we never electrified any of it kind of shows where our priorities lie. It was a dumb idea even before climate change to run our entire rail system on wasteful diesel generators carried by the damn train instead of power plants. Now folks want to use batteries and fucking hydrogen, when we’ve had the solution for more efficient trains forever.
Oh it’s worse than that. Much of the Milwaukee’s main line was electrified - over 600 miles worth - and the electrification was removed in favor of running diesels.
Line go up
Dump truck? Nah, this ass is a freight container
