was impressed by the length of the trains - I was never on one that was
uncomfortably crowded, even when I travelled in the rush hours.

This may be partly because Americans tend not to like walking - I used to
catch a northbound Lexington Avenue local from 23rd St., and found that
while most of the ten-car train was packed, there were usually seats in the
last car; to get to them involved walking three or four carlengths from the
station entrance.
