Some other countries have taking their transportation system as a good example to improve their traffic condition.
The transportation system of New York City is a cooperation of complex systems of infrastructure which is includes Rail & Buses. Rail contains subway system, airport services, commuter rail and intercity rail. The subway system is the largest subway systems in the world when measured by track mileage.
