Another situation today - this time the F train stuck for over an hour.

Seriously, this is America. Is it corruption that can't keep a subway running? Or is it corruption in Europe and Asia that allows them to run a well oiled machine?

Maybe in Europe and Asia they don't have political parties and political philosophy groups -- i.e. the Republicans and the Heritage Foundation -- that actively oppose all funding for transit operations.
 
Considering the underinvestment and overloading (and the lingering salt water intrusion damage in some of the tunnels from Sandy) on the system it's a wonder it doesn't break down more. I love how the media calls it a "stalled" train (though it explains things for readers better than other terms one supposes).

Yeah they do. But the conservative population of New York is hardly powerful.

You never heard of federal funding for transit projects? Of course such funds seem to be on the way out thanks to Republicans and the Heritage Foundation.
