No problem here. Public transport is available well into the small hours.

But imagine children who have school the next morning.

Public transport is available 24/7 here, but I still wouldn't fancy it. Not on a Sunday.

People on the continent tend to have a different sleep pattern to others mind.

I remember eating with a Greek family in Zante and it was nothing for them to still be awake 11-12 in the night, they often didn’t start eating until very late

I've never had a problem with it. And I've been using it for over 20 years. It's cheap too. $2.75 from one end of the the city to the other.

that's a great price to be fair, but as major cities go there is a visible lack of investment in it compared to elsewhere

I'll admit it's not flashy like other underground systems I've been on. It has the most stations of any subway in the world and it's one of the oldest systems. Obviously, the newer stations are very nice. But it's cheap, reliable and runs 24 hours a day. I think it serves New York well. It also has free bus transfers. Meaning you can get a $2.75 subway ticket, get off the train, and jump on a bus using the same ticket.

I don't know. I don't ever recall hearing about them.

NYC Subway System is great.
Bit shabby but quick and cheap.

Re: El Classico

the thing we liked about the NYC Subway was that if you looked a little lost ( or even paused to look at a map ) someone would come and ask " where ya going " and advise you , but I guess thats more of a what we liked about NYC people

if you stop on the London underground to look at a map, people will look at you like you are the scum of the earth, as though you've just drop kicked a bag of puppies.
