You don't need a report to tell you that. I ride the subway every day, just go down there and take a look and you'll find that the phrase "it's falling apart" is very literal. Cracks in the walls, floor, and ceiling. Tiles falling off the walls. Railings falling down. Doors hanging by a single hinge. Lights that burnt out years ago and will never be replaced. And lets not get started on the dirt and grime. Or the piles of trash littering the tracks. New York's subway might be great in terms of keeping cars off the road but it's an absolute maintenance disaster.
