Is that a closed station? For NYC?
nah that's just what NYC subway looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHp_qSZmvoI
That’s what the subway stations in many of the poorer Burroughs and underfunded areas look like. On the tip of Manhattan or throughout most of Queen the stations can be beautiful. Full granite and marble, extremely clean, new trains, and so on. Why? Those stations are used mostly by the ultra wealthy.
Fulton Station
World Trade Center Station
not a single bench in sight, incredible
No poors allowed.
Those stations are crawling with cops as well. I have seen homeless people basically be beat to hell and dragged off for daring to enter those stations.
There are benches though, thankfully. Just good luck using them if you don’t look like you’re a multimillionaire.
hey I know that second one
World Trade Center Station looks like a set from the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
That's not entirely fair. Those buildings are the useless luxury malls built around their respective stations; the actual platforms are just as shit and barely functional as the rest of NYC.
Not really, no. The trains running from those stations are mostly newer, cleaner, and quieter. Especially dedicated lines such as the cross river Jersey-WTC line which drops you off in a luxury apartment area in Jersey.
You don't give the rich enough credit. They will make sure to cater to themselves as much as possible.
Plus the platforms are kept especially clean and polished, and any aesthetical defects such are cracks are solved quickly. The walls are usually tiled as well, the ceilings finished, and the rails aren't left bare.
You can even see a nice group of piggies!
It also didn't always look that way. The oncoming wall used to be unfinished an unsightly, but they tiled it up and added some art for decoration. This is how it used to look, the first picture shows the finished wall.
