"I'm puzzled when people say the Swiss have good transportation because they're rich. It has nothing to do with that. They're still using trams from 1970. They restore them every 7 years. Making do is part of the culture. If you're using trams for 50 years, that's a hell of a savings."

@straphanger I'm from Mexico City but lived for 5 years in Boston, USA and one of the things I missed there was efficient and cheap public transit. Mexico City isn't what most people would call rich (it isn't really poor either, of course).
