What can I say about NY? It definitely has the most rail-based transit in all of the Americas! It is one of the largest sections on this website. I may live in the Pacific Northwest, but I am partial to NY, particularly Brooklyn (my native habitat). The NY subways alone are a transit fans’ dream. Add the commuter trains and NJ light rail systems in Jersey City and Newark, the metro area becomes a transit fan’s heaven. I have broken the New York area based on operations.
