Again I did not say the subway. I said the transit systems in the New 
York City area,  I am including subway, bus , commuter rail, commuter 
bus, etc.  yes one out of every two rides

Again read what I wrote.  the transit system is larger, Tokyo crams more 
people on fewer trains through fewer stations and with fewer lines,  Now 
arggument Tokyo moves a h.... of a lot of people (I've been there), and 
you are correct that Moscow carries more people,  but the NYC 
infastructure is arguably the largest in the world.  (eg  NYC TA 483 
stations, Tokyo, all systems combined  222 stations)
