a direct* and simple* guide to rail in the NYC metro area

ah, new york city. the big apple, the financial core of the united states, the greatest city on planet earth.[citation needed] most importantly, though, it's also the public transit capital of north america! did you know that the new york city metropolitan area has nine different local modes of rail-based transportation? nine! that's a ridiculous amount, and they're not even owned by the same entities, and they're often not even operated by the entities that own them, and sometimes the entities that own some transit services operate others? it's a mess! the goal of this post is to hopefully explain the fundamentals of the various kinds of rail transit in new york city and the surrounding area, and shine a bit of a light on the more confusing aspects... as well as complain a bit about somethings. i can't help it.

ok, so, what are the different rail systems?
