> The subways and buses are unreliable at best. Everyone complains about the subway, but as someone who lives in Brooklyn it's been generally good enough to get to work without too many headaches. I live in the Brownsville/Canarsie area, and I generally take the 3 into the city, and that generally just works, but I will admit that it kind of sucks that the 3 is the only train that's easily near me. It's not usually a problem on weekdays, but it's a very annoying problem on weekends when they have to do maintenance, meaning my only easy mode of transportation is either severely limited or non-existent. [1] Still, I really don't think it's as bad as people complain about. I've lived in NYC for nine years, and deep in Brooklyn for about 5.5, without a car, and it's been "generally ok". [1] It's not completely horrible, if I'm willing to walk a bit further (about a mile) I can get to an L train and if I am willing to walk a bit further than that I can get to an A.
