The NYC subway is probably described in one sentence:
"By September 1979, there were over 250 felonies per week being recorded on the subway, making the crime rate much higher than any other mass transits system in the world"

This is legit fact. "worst in the world"...
So my idea is, I would go for a year to the US, buy the NYC subway.
Renovate it.
Make it first world tier and shit, better even.
Make the trains come on time (I don't know how this is even a problem in NY. I've never seen a delayed train, especially on the subway. How the fuck?).
Sell them tickets slightly more costly, but of course more people would use the trains.

How is this business idea not going to succeed?? It's genious!
Everyone is complaining about the utter trash you have, but nobody is thinking about making good money out of it!
What do you think? What could go wrong?

Your main problem is the target market who will be using your transportation services.

People in the United States who are regarded as "middle class" or higher, you know, the kind of people who can take good care of things? They drive. Cars. Trucks. Vans. Whatever. You're going to have literal niggers and drug addicts using your transportation. I don't know if they will generate enough revenue to keep your business profitable, but even if it's kept profitable, it will quickly fall into filth and degeneracy.

In the United States, there is a clear divide between "well-to-do" individuals and the filthy criminals. We don't put like a 200% tax on automobiles here, so it's actually kind of affordable. In Europe, it's a different story, so the "well-to-do" individuals, being forced to take public transportation with the sewer rats, have to make the best of what they have.

Well, if the service is good, then the middle class would use it too.
It's a lot faster then going by car. Especially in the city.
That's the main reason to use it. It's also cheaper, if you do it right. More then twice as cheap.
New York had rooftop helicopters in the 80s. You could do a expensive high-quality subway service, with a portion of that helicopter money. And just kick the homeless people out, like everywhere else in the world.

Most foreign countries have homogenous populations or cultures that inherently enforce social norms. Since the US has become a diverse population inundated with foreign and clashing norms an outside force is needed to incentivise the masses, or you reverse the trend of miscegenation and enforce cultural homogeneity. One if these is better for the NYC Subway and one is better for the nation and being undertaken currently.

you dont have enough money to "fix" this subway

to make the transit come on time you would need to increase the train count and update the train routing system which would cost you several hundred million because its ancient stuff

to fix the station you would need to renovate them aswell as upgrade them to allow for better usage. remember they where designed for lower user count and are ancient as well.

There is an existing renovation plan already motioned. If you'd live in NYC then you'd know that already. Why do you care about NYC subway when you aren't even a local?

NYC subway is one of the first ones in the world to exist. Of course with such age, it is much harder to maintain than others.

Also, wtf, why is something from 1979 of any relevance here? 1979!?! A time when USSR was still in place and the whole food infrastructure of the nation was starting to collapse. There wasn't enough food to go around so the gov handed out food stamps that allowed a citizen to buy one loaf of bread a week after waiting in a queue for 30 minutes. No doubt the felony rates in USSR metros were similar or even worse at the time. Well, things have changed around the globe, m8, it's 2018 now.

At weekends the trains run though the night. Rarely anything ever happens. And I've maybe once seen a cramped train.

>>10174434 so you are right. New trains, track repair, full renovation. But then you can arrive at your destination twice or up to three times faster. Even more if your city is big like moscow.

I live in NYC. Subways run every 3-4 minutes. There is no trains being "late," or checking times for the train, they run very frequently. I've never heard anyone complain about the shit you listed, and I've also never seen a station as dirty as your picture. I've also never seen that type of garbage can anywhere in NYC. The garbage cans in the stations are stationary large black cylinders in the middle of the platform, you cannot move them.

No, not really. I am not arguing for some kind of cowboy society where everyone is for themselves. There are things called public goods that the government provides which the free market has a hard time providing.

By self-sufficiency I mean being able to afford your own mode of transportation and not depending on government welfare programs, and being able to work for yourself without wage-slaving.

It is different in new york city. There are pleanty of homeless living in the subway system that pee and shit where they please. Prices for transportation keep going up.

It's 1 buck for a new mta card which is required to ride. It's 2.75 for 1 train ride in the city. You need to purchase an amount of value from their value selection screen which won't be divisible by 2.75 meaning you will always have value left on your card that you can't use. You can't use value on your mta card to purchase goods. I know in japan you can use the value on your metro card to purchase anything in a store.

Everyone knows the mta is corrupt. Sometimes the machines double charge your card or you might only get part of the value you paid for when you add value and the mta won't help because their purposely downgraded computer systems only show them the last ride purchase made on your card. For any help they force you to pay to mail your card in and wait weeks to months for any sort of response.

The mta makes pleanty of money but won't renovate the subway systems so they are all old smelly and full of shit yet prices keep going up. Its what happens when you allow one company to have a monopoly on transportation in one area. Tge closer to a monopoly you get tge worse it gets for people.

What an idiotic statement. There is a thing called capitalism, which allows for all sorts of innovations in technology and transportation, like Tesla's electric cars for example. Government doesn't own any of those fueling stations. Those are all private companies. But let's pretend gasoline-powered vehicles are the only ones that exist. You buy gasoline from private companies. Even if government sells it, you are still buying it in the same you you would buy it from someone else as an act of self-sufficient outsourcing. You are trying to equate this to the government literally providing gas as a social service like welfare that people depend on, but it is just not the same thing. Everything we know about economics has shown that the free market will always step up to fill a market demand because we are all self-interested individuals who respond predictably to incentives.

No, what am I implying is that most of you are forced to work for someone else because EU regulations impose heavy regulations and fees that favor corporations with deep pockets but lock small entrepreneurs out.

>Also, public transport isn't free in most countries. You still need to pay.
Then what's so great about it? Because it's higher-quality? You pay for that quality whether you use the public transportation or not. Any government service is paid for by your taxes. TNSTAAFL. At first you could say, "well that's a fair deal." But it's just another cost on top of many tax burdens. You are quite literally forced to choose government-provided transportation because it's cheaper, as you said here >>10175123, literally bragging that your government imposes insane VAT on automobile purchases.

Why not buy everything around the subway system and the system itself, and make the owner the city of New York?

It's not hard to gentrify subway system and hire police (LA's metro subway station hires cops all the time to kick out homeless folks)

Making it into a "Luxury" is extremely niche since elites don't take the bus since they have no clue how to socialize with commoners.

That's wrong. I live in a 2.5 millions inhabitants urban area in europe and our public transport is entirely funded by fares prices, and still generates enough money to expand and maintain its quality and cleanliness.

Most people who disliked Obama did so because they disagreed with his world views and would have reacted similarly to any liberal president. Policemen do sometimes shoot minorities, but their high rates of poverty and mental illness mean there's usually a good reason to do so.
