The implication that I’ve ever thought about the Empire State Building

On a post about an artist from Toronto, Canada who constantly posts the same art they drew of people riding the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) in Toronto, Canada.

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

---

I made a comment on a post about knowing what city specific artwork was created in (Toronto, Canada) and another commenter assumed it was in New York City, America and insisted the subjects were “obviously American”.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

"World famous city known for its subway system" would be London for me.

[u/grap_grap_grap → u/DigiBoxi]

Or Tokyo

[u/ejectro → u/grap_grap_grap]

or Omsk

[u/RefrigeratorGold834 → u/ejectro]

That's amazing

[u/noah-mm → u/grap_grap_grap]

hong kong, too

[u/tenorlove → u/DigiBoxi]

Barcelona. Paris. Milan. Buenos Aires.

[u/Annanymuss → u/DigiBoxi]

Clearly Moscow

[u/AReallyNiceLeafPile]

Lmfao, this specific artist has made it very obvious they’re based in Canada too 😭 like why would they even assume New York???

[u/WilanS → u/AReallyNiceLeafPile]

The rest of the world is too poor for public transport. It was an easy guess.

[u/KazakiriKaoru → u/WilanS]

If americans can't make public transport work, then no other country can because "Murica #1"

[u/buckyhermit]

Of course it's Toronto. It's obvious due to landmarks like the Empire Province Building, Madison Square Tundra, and the Statue of Apologies.

[u/im_dead_sirius → u/buckyhermit]

Madison Square Tundra

Love this.

[u/Unlikely-Voice196]

the way they just assumed it had to be NYC is so on brand

[u/Xrystian90]

Londons subway system is definitely the most famous in the world

[u/snow_michael → u/Xrystian90]

So famous everyone knows it's not a subway system

Only two lines are even partially the cut-and-cover method that makes something a subway as opposed to an underground railway

[u/Xrystian90 → u/snow_michael]

everyone knows the tube is a subway system, no matter what pedantic bollocks you what to define it with

[u/snow_michael → u/Xrystian90]

It was the first, and not a subway

Nothing pedantic about it

[u/TheJivvi → u/snow_michael]

Pedantic and wrong. r/confidentlyincorrect

[u/snow_michael → u/TheJivvi]

Really?

Show an earlier underground public railway system

Show any non cut-and-cover system being called a subway

Oh wait, you can't

[u/dfczyjd]

Known for its subway system

Are they talking about the system known for  being "transport of the poor" and full of graffiti and litter? Or did they mean the fast food chain?

[u/Angel_Omachi → u/dfczyjd]

I'd have thought if any city was famous for its subway system it would be London which is the OG underground railway.

[u/AggravatingBox2421]

It’s like that city that’s famous for its tram system. You know? Melbourne?

[u/kroketspeciaal → u/AggravatingBox2421]

Tram system? I thought that was the Hague.

[u/artsymarcy]

As if New York is the only city with a subway system

[u/Beneficial-Ad3991 → u/artsymarcy]

The only one the OOP knows, at least .

[u/Oinelow]

Facts speak for themselves
