To get from the center of New York City, to JFK, the major international airport, it takes more than one train, and would probably take an hour. To get from the Airport to the City Center of Geneva earlier this morning, the train was free, direct, (one way, $3.50 the other way) and only took about 10 minutes. We didn't have to wait at all for a train in either direction. No city in the US that I've ever been to has transportation like that.
However, it's not just that the rail system is vastly superior. We walked up to a counter to ask how much it would cost to change to an earlier flight. In the states, the answer was $200. For the same exact question, about the same exact flight, in Geneva, the answer was that all you needed to do was ask a ticketing agent and they'd do it for free. Why can't things be like that here?
