  After this, can you rank every Light Rail system in the states?

  Hot take - if the Detroit people mover is a metro, then the JFK AirTrain is also a metro.<br><br>I’ll just leave it at that 😎

  Lived in NYC 30 years...you can go anywhere on the MTA &nbsp;. &nbsp;It&apos;s a great system

  The DC Metro has the best door chime “Step back, doors closing” that’s iconic for the city!

  I&apos;m so proud of MARTA to have made B Tier while literally never having had one single penny of funding from its own state government. One day we&apos;ll let it grow up and the great design of its core infrastructure will actually shine. Sadly the new trainsets, as cool as they are, can&apos;t fix the fact that Atlanta&apos;s growth was rather intentionally directed as far away from MARTA as possible, ei in outlying suburbs and in areas not served by it like the Howell Mill and Northside Drive corridor. <br>Great video and I don&apos;t disagree with any rankings. Very evenhanded.

  Growing up in the Atlanta area then living in NYC for a decade made me too critical of MARTA. &nbsp;MARTA just can&apos;t be the type of rail that NYC is that can take you to most corners of the city, but it is great for park and ride and it&apos;s clutch for getting you to the airport and downtown arenas. &nbsp;MARTA still has tons of potential. &nbsp;It has good bones, 48 miles of track crossing the city.

  Correction: Baltimore has five-eighths of a metro line.

  To put PATH in the the same tier as SIRR is definitely a hot take. I know there’s not much love for the PATH tubes especially from visitors to NYC who are only riding on the MTA, but for a tiny system dwarfed by the larger NYC subway, it ranks 5th or 6th in the U.S. by weekday ridership, and is the only 24 hour system besides NYC’s. Its Hoboken station may be the only terminal in the U.S. that has connections to a subway, commuter rail, light rail, buses, AND ferry. Not bad for a system with only four routes.

  Los Angeles has six active Metro Rail lines: specifically the A, B, C, D, E, and K lines. The network spans 121 to 125 miles of service and includes over 100 stations across the county.
