Default London vs New York

A point where I think London does much better is connections between
lines. There are quite a few cross-platform ones, and walks between
stops seem to be shorter. There also seem to be more of them. New York
for example, has so many lines crossing each other in Western Brooklyn
without any connections between them.


I'm afraid I strongly disagree. New York probably has more
cross-platform transfers than London, and transfers that aren't don't
usually involve long walks through endless mazes of narrow passageways.

The downtown Brooklyn situation is annoying, but it's not as bad as you
make it out to be. The IRT and BMT have several connection points.
It's the IND that's mostly left out.
