Especially when it comes to New York Subway vs London Underground?

I don't know anything about New York really so I can't comment.

The London underground is pretty terrific, though. As are the buses. Can get from anywhere to anywhere at any time of day without waiting for a ride for more than 3 minutes, so long as you don't mind it taking exactly 47 minutes to get anywhere no matter how far or how close.

Also this sort of poll is always amusing because if you ask any American they'll say New York, and if you ask any Brit they'll also say New York.

Not necessarily because either party genuinely feels that way but simply because of how the cultural expectations of patrotism differ.

I'm an American who has spent 2 weeks in London and probably several dozen in NY. London is better. NYC is good, but overrated AF. Though not nearly as overrated as L.A

man I thought 7 minute waits during rush hour in DC was awesome
where I am now it is a minimum of 30 minute wait for a bus. More on off-peak hours

Edinburgh > everything else


Edinburgh is very pretty, but it's also more of a big town than a city. I swear to god I see the same people every day here, other than the tourists.

No doubt though completely stunning at night and I can see why people become enamoured.

I loved both cities. It's been nearly 10 years since I've been to London. I would love to go back since I'm a bit more experienced with travel now.

Anyone who's actually been in london would disagree.

90% indians and pakistanis and romanians, the worst public transportation in Europe 2 hour traffic, awful weather, living in a 4x4 jail cell costs 3000$ a month, I can go on and on.

Most of the time when I rode the train in New York there was a man or lady who'd walk up and yell "Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention?!" and start raving about God. What's the deal with this?
