What a weirdly cool buy very niche site. Why 40 minutes? Why just NYC? Why just subways?
3 comments

As a New Yorker: 40 minutes is roughly my boundary between "ordinary trip with no prior thought" and "I'll set aside a dedicated time and/or day to make this trip."

The city's bus lines are much more variable in service, and don't offer as many interborough routes.

Why would you go to subawaysheds.com to learn about taxicab stands? that would obviously be taxicabstands.com.

Why just NYC? Because does anything else exist outside of NYC? Maybe atlantic city, or the catskills, or niagra falls, but everything else is just unimportant

you seem.....upset.
not at all. just responding to a question with a response in the same manner. ridiculousness all around
Because it’s a niche site and that’s what it’s about?

“Interesting niche site about birds in the authors backyard. But why doesn’t it also talk about the trees in my backyard?”
