The London underground has a very distinctive smell, have you ever noticed that... Or are you too used to it 🤔
Definitely does 💯, I can’t quite describe it. I love the little mice down there, they are so cute
wow thats really clean compared to NYs lines
Wow, really?! Bakerloo line is - I think - probably the worst line 😭 the lights turn off and it pauses sometimes. Always feels like it’s about to fall apart. Having said all that, I rather like it 😁. You should have a look at the new Elizabeth line - rather nice, that one
Been a while but doesn’t the Bakerloo Line also still run some very old carriages… they used and they were great! Wooden features etc. (maybe they’ve got rid of them now?).
Wow, I have no idea 🤯🫂 very cool though. I don’t use it much, I tend to walk cos the dodgy lights scare me 😂🫂 but I will definitely check this out next time I’m on it
most of them look like this inside and out. the same for some of the platforms. this includes the above and below ground lines. i grew up in queens and remember them all being like this. plus dirty smelly and dangerous. https://image.nostr.build/cf60eafa699d8fc19d78189ac7dfb75e68e13857fe6397c5bdd995f7e81acfb5.png https://image.nostr.build/9c7d4b45b76d722ae9c3cb9538d2afbfb70e58075aecbd01329d0559566f5f69.png
Newer train cars on Chicago's blue line. Most aren't as nice as these https://image.nostr.build/a67a93f751aea5ab84f0ac46c291ad50c967d8fef561163947bdba1c58272778.jpg
This is lovely 🙏🏽. Have you been on the L? I know about this from watching ‘while you were sleeping’ wayyyy too many times 🥹 one of my favourite films.
Hmm, I know while you were sleeping as an old graffiti video. A lot of street bombing maybe painting some trains too. But yes, the CTA is generally know as the L or el, short for elevated. I ride the L most days. We have 2 lines which have an underground section through downtown.
Ooo I meant the romcom 👀🫂 Very cool! I know it’s just the transport for you, but I find it rather fascinating 🙏🏽❤️🔥
I'll have to check it out, especially if it takes place in Chicago 😄 I agree completely with you, I love public transit, especially train systems. Pretty fun to visit other places and experience their public transit systems. I wish the US had more cities with urban rail networks, but we seem to be obsessed with cars here lol
It’s one of my favourites ❤️🔥🫂 Me too! Can’t wait to try out the NY Subway, I hear it’s an adventure 🥹 Yeah I hear LA is for driving cos everything is so spaced out
