I think their transit system is superb, but clearly it's going to take more fundamental changes to deal with the problem of getting millions of workers, shoppers, and tourists into and out of a central district every day. Ultimately they will have to look to more fundamental improvements in land use and time management. There's only so much that any transit system can do.
