Subways Known for being trains Bymos for being big underground trains Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun. Let's find out why subways are secretly incredibly fascinating.

Hey there, folks. Hey there, Cipelopods. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name's Alex Schmidt. I'm not

alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden. Katie. Hello. Katie. What is your

relationship to or opinion of Subways? Eat fresh. Wait, what? But the actual public transportation

subway, I like very much. I'm a big fan of public transportation. I currently don't have a

car because in order to drive here, I need, like I can't just use my US license I'd need to take the

test in Italian and right now I still get like confused between like meatball and squid and things like

that so you know it's like when the driver's test is going to be like, and who has

the right of way, a meatball or a squid? I'm going to be like, oh, geez, oh gosh, I don't know.

So, the answer is whatever your stomach's telling you. Right, exactly.

So I don't have a car, don't drive, and it's great.

I love not driving.

And I really like taking public transportation when it works.

Like it makes a huge difference when it's actually functional and arrives more or less on time and it's not completely flooded.

Actually, when I visited Alex in New York, it was a little rainy and we took the subway and it just started raining inside the subway because the water drainage wasn't great.

I roll out the welcome mat, you know?

Yeah.

I'm like, please enjoy the greatest that the city I will move out of has to offer.

And, but I've used the subways in, so like New York, Boston, Milan here in Turin.

And yeah, I would say the best subways I've used have been in Milan.

They are very frequent.

They run almost every few minutes.
