Green Line: Worst subway in the world?

Published Oct 29 2009, 11:19 AM by Adam Reilly

Anybody else waste a significant amount of time on the GL this morning? I was stuck at Park Street for a good half hour, but it sounded like some people had been there quite a bit longer.

And I'm serious about the aforementioned question. There may well be a worse subway (or subway line) out there. I just don't know what it is.

(Apologies to anyone who expected a media post.)

Having lived in Philly and Chicago, I can name 3 or 4 subway lines that are worse than the Green Line here

There's no doubt that the Green Line is the worst in the world. NYC, Chicago, London, Paris. All better by far. Quaint little trolleys and the outdated hub system are holding the city back. Love the Orange and Red. For all their problems, at least there's a place to sit!

Having also lived in Philly, DC, and Chicago I will agree that there are at least lines that give the Green a run for it's money, namely the entire mass. transportation system in Philly. But compared to the DC Metro in particular and of course the NYC Subway, the Green Line seems more like a Disney World ride— the kind that premiered at the World's Fair seventy year ago.
