You can literally sit in the lobby and watch the performance on the screen. Those are my cheap seats.

I'm not even sure that matters. This sub loves to point out the Japan trains, but in this case I think it's worth pointing out Japan's trains have so many jobs that are strictly unnecessary, are also for-profit companies and they do fine as far as keeping costs reasonable.

Except this rule isn't for "non-Americans" but anyone transferring into the NYC system. As the article says:
>“Students transferring from another state or country, including asylum seekers, have 30 days from their enrollment to provide evidence of vaccinations or be in the process of acquiring vaccinations,” the guidance says.
So people from "other states", AKA, also Americans, have this same "right".

I could reasonably expect people to not take up the entire width of the stairway though.

I googled it and came up with exactly one example, because the parking lot is within a bigger historic area (the South Street Seaport), as well as one scholarly article from the National Council on Public History. The rest were mostly news stories which were either about claims that didn't happen or just the words "historic" and "parking".
I admit this isn't exactly a thorough search though, so do you have examples?

> In Japan, each train line is a different and separate fare.
Each system, not each line. It's easy to travel without crossing into different systems most of the time. Also it doesn't even matter too much because you pay by distance, and all you do when going between systems is tap at the gate, so a route from X->Y via one system or via two different systems does not usually change the price that much.
Also the time of the last train really depends. On the Yamanote line the last train is 1:20 and the first is 4:30, so that's only a three hour window, they sure aren't doing huge amounts of maintenance in that.

I think about it this way:
Is New York's transportation better than pretty much 99% of the rest of the US? Yes.
Are there several similar cities around the world that have similar, but better, transportation systems? Also yes.

Truly an institution, closing after 8 whole years. Maybe I just pass it by at the wrong time, but the one in Astoria never seems that full to me.

Somehow I get the feeling you probably have no idea what the BPL does or doesn't do. Though I'm sure you can Google it and pretend like you do.

I remember one day walking past some Chinpira in Yoyogi park doing stupid shit. The cops came up to them and were like, "Can you please stop?" and the reply was basically Fuck off, and the cops left.
But anyway, simply smoking pot in Tokyo runs the risk of ruining your entire life and career. So, there you go. I'm not sure it's relevant though.

I'd say just look up the Tompkins Square Riot, that'll give you a good idea of what it was like.
