However, in Los Angeles it seems reserved to those of lower incomes and many people overall avoid it. Also New York City still has a problematic car culture and heavy traffic. I feel often cars are sold to people on propaganda of heavy individualization while ignoring the societal costs, the companies often try to push how individual it makes someone for instance when in reality they get stuck in traffic or deal with fines and fees and frustration.
I think the demographics using a subway/underground railway is likely entirely dependent on location/nation and other factors. In London, you get everyone from the wealthy to the poor riding the Tube. There's going to be some difference depending on location in London of course. Much of this is because it's one of the quickest ways to move around London.
In any trip to London, I always prefer to use the tube system to get around.
Combined with the fact the gun jammed. NYC is very fortunate, considering it all.
Right? I was confused as to why this wasn't all over our news, then I realised - it's because people survived.
