Another Twitter user tweeted that Chambers Street Station is notorious and has been hailed as the worst station in New York for decades. “It is so photogenically dilapidated that it has become a popular filming location for TV shows and films. At the same time, the Moscow metro is really better in all respects, ”the author of the post noted.
Users also noted that the metro station in the Big Apple looks abandoned for a long time, "like from a movie about the end of the world," and marveled at "the level of neglect and decline that Americans are willing to put up with in public infrastructure."
“The Moscow metro is perhaps my favorite public transport system in the world,” admitted another commentator.
Note that the Chambers Street station, located on the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line, was opened on July 1, 1918, as part of the development of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) network.
And the Kievskaya station in Moscow began to function several decades later - on March 14, 1954.
