Just tell us, in which cities you travelled by underground metro (only underground, subways, not trams or suburban trains)?

For me would be:
- Berlin
- Barcelona
- Boston
- Hamburg
- Lisboa
- London
- Moscow
- München
- NYC
- Paris
- Roma
- Sao Paulo
- Stockholm

Outstanding: Barcelona (modern, clean, comfortable), London (dense network, good overview anyway), Moscow (dense, cheap and very fast), Sao Paulo (all the advantages of the above - unfortunalty only 3 lines til now... but they are building fast). Worst: Roma (dirty, old, dark, only a few lines and always full)

Liverpool (it's a metro by definition as small as it is)
London (wonderful system)
Barcelona (remember being lost mostly)
Hong Kong (MTR is clean, frequent & efficient)

Milano
Roma
Marseille
Paris
Lyon
Barcelona
Madrid
Lisbon
London
Munchen
Frankfurth
Berlin
Hamburg
Amsterdam
Bruxelles
Prague
Athens
Istanbul
Hong Kong
Al Qaira
New York
LA
San Francisco
Sydney (commuter rail, but a eal subway in the city centre)

Funny, when I looked at all the different metro threads, I considered opening such a topic like this a few minutes ago...;)

Well, in chronological order:

Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Paris (metro and RER)
Roma
Brussels (metro and pre-metro)
Prague
Barcelona (metro TMB and metro FGC)
Berlin (U-Bahn and S-Bahn)

Amsterdam is the city where I was born and where I lived the first 20 years of my life. It's metro system has got a small 3,5 km underground section with 5 stations. The dirty stations (full with litter and graffiti, and a popular shelter for junks), in which many concrete is used, will be refurbished in the next four years. And in 2011, a new 6 km underground section with 5 new stations will be opened.

Rotterdam is the other metro city in the Netherlands, and the first one (opened in 1968). The system has got more underground stations and longer tunnels. The stations there are much more clean and clear than in Amsterdam.

I travelled the Rome metro in 1993. Back then, it was not as dirty as I have seen on more recent pictures. I liked the accelerating and decelerating of the trains there.

The Paris metro is wonderful, I loved the density, the sounds, the station architecture, the smell of the stations and the sounds, and the fact that it operates two systems (steel wheels on steel tracks and rubber tyres) The only thing which irritated me was the short distance between stations. The RER is a modern network, but lacks the identity of the traditional metro. But I'm curious about the new line E stations, like Magenta.

Barcelona is indeed very modern, clean and comfortable.

And Berlin was also good. I liked it that it has got two systems with two different measures (Kleinprofil and Grossprofil). I loved the new H/HK trains and my favourite line was the U2. About the S-Bahn, although it is no official metro network, I loved it even more than the U-Bahn. The 1930's atmosphere on many stations is very special, and it is good that it is maintained, even after modernization. This atmosphere is very important for the identity of the system.

And the 481/482 trains are beautiful. The only thing in Berlin which irritated me were the scratched windows. It was the worst I've seen in Europe so far.

Brussels and Prague are also very modern systems. I like the design of the Brussels metro trains with their orange fronts, and the seats are very comfortable.

This summer I hope to explore the London Underground.

Barcelona (i like it for the wide trains, the beautiful FGC lines, and always and fortunately airconditioned trains on all lines)

Paris (dense, but the one-way-tunels for the passanger are stupid, the M14 is ok. almost all stations have the same look, if u 've seen one of them u know all. it's unfortunately smelly)

Warszawa (only one line, but modern, fast ansd clean)

Berlin (old, and not so modern, as one could think about the german capital city metro)

Stuttgart (very good network, fast, clean, modern, the old good german Ordnung)

Hamburg (quite nice system, even if a bit strange, metro in the city centre above ground but s-bahn underground)

Muenchen (one of the best i rode on, very good service, fantastic new stations, fast and clean)

Milano (as all 'metropolitane' in Italy - dirty, narrow and dark. but i like it as well. and it is still growing, the metro in Milano)

Roma (that's a pity, there are anly 2 lines in such a big and wonderful city. metro always full, other characteristics as in Milano)

Budapest (the coolest is the first continental metro in the europe - line 1 (yellow), now restored , just beautiful. other not so modern, but fast.)

Praha (good 3-shape-lines-system, but little old. the new stations are quite good)

Wien (excellent system, but the stations are in the same type. trains are wonderful, they seem to be a kind of a dragon, when approaching the station, the lights in the dark tunnel seem eyes of the dragon. i like wien-U-Bahn very much.)

Kuala Lumpur
Singapore
London

I would like to know the list of Bitxofo and J.Serradell, I think that are impresive! :D

Jordi Serradell

-London: a classic ;)
-Rome: seemed a bit dirty and run down really, sorry but didn't really find it as impressive as the rest of the city :P
-Amsterdam: ^^^ pretty much the same
-Seoul: I quite liked this one, quite modern but it was quite tortuous travelling long distances to the satellite cities
-Daegu: Another one I liked, very modern and fast but the problem with this one is its lack of coverage and we had to go by taxi mostly. Although i hear theyre building new lines which is good
-Pusan: Went on it but dont really remember much :(

So Tokyo and Yokahama have different metro systems? Impressive!
Yeah, Yokohama's is pretty small by comparison though. They have "3 lines" but operate as a single line with continuous service by one train. They are opening a new line soon that is a separate system rather than an extension, although they are planning another extension as well (but that's just planning). The Minatomirai line is a subway but an entity of its own, it just happens to be located in central Yokohama.

Keep in mind though, Yokohama is Japan's second largest city (it is not Osaka), so it should have its own subway system.

Given the population, Toronto offers better subway service than Yokohama, but there are so many commuter services going through Yokohama it doesn't matter much.

Milan
Warsaw
Prague
Budapest
Bucharest
Sofia
Athens

Amsterdam - nothing special, the old lines look pretty bad

Rotterdam - nice and efficient, nothing special though

Brussels - the same

London - for me the most interesting one, really nice classic system with some interesting new developments

Paris - also a classic one

New York - ugly, dirty and smelly, but also a classic!

Stockholm - really nice system, underground stations like a cave with nice pieces of art

Oslo - also an interesting one, where the metro lines branch out into the hills like an old interurban railroad

Moscow - another classic, great archiecture, and really MASS transport

St. Petersburg - looks almost exactly the same as in Moscow

Novosibirsk - also a bit like the other Russian systems, but less impressive

Beijing - not an impressive network for such a large city!

Pyongyang - monumental, inspired by the Moscow metro. Very deep, very impressive

Vienna - nice and efficient

Toronto - typically North-American style

Chicago - the underground sections are nothing special, but the "El" is hard to beat!

Lyon - modern neat system

Lille - nice automatic system

Berlin - another classic one, very interesting as well as the suburban S-Bahn

Athens - I only travelled on the classic line 1, I would like to travel on the new lines too

Lisbon - nice and efficient

Glasgow - weird, very low and narrow trains, even more so than in London

Barcelona - another in the category nice and efficient

I think those are 'em all, perhaps I missed out on one or two. In short, the modern systems are often the neatest, but I like the classic systems more. There's more history to it, more to tell about.

One metro system I would really like to try is Madrid, they made very impressive improvements in the last decades.

JFK, WOW!

I would love a short impression on each system from your perspective, like Vertigo just did :)

Impressions as requested by Pan_Stanislav:

Boston: My first system, oldest system in North America, good coverage of the downtown, has lost a lot of charcter, especially on the Orange line with the replacement of the El.

New York: The system I work for so its hard to be objective, but I do agree with Vertigo that it could be cleaner. The extensive express/local service makes it unique as does the 24/7 service, and it has both the largest number of cars and stations in the world.

Montreal: Typical French export system, entirely underground.

Toronto: Well run system, wide-long cars, good tranfer facilities to buses and streetcars.

Vancouver: Mainly elevated automated system, short underground section downtown.

Philadelphia: Small system for city size, Broad Street line similar to New York IND lines

Baltimore: One line system typical of American systems built in the 70's and 80's.

Washington D.C.: Impressive station architecture, suburban sections more like a commuter rail/S-bahn system.

Atlanta: Like Baltimore and Miami.

Miami: Entire system above ground.

Cleveland: More like a commuter rail/S-bahn line, very low ridership.

Chicago: Interesting El loop downtown, system misses a lot of the most developed sections of the city.

San Francisco: More like a commuter rail/S-bahn line. Only one line in downtown .

Los Angeles: Only one line with small branch. Does not follow the main flow of traffic down Wilshire Blvd.

Mexico City: Large rubber tired system like Santiago and Montreal, built by the French.

Santiago: Like Montreal and Mexico City.

Rio: Only one line system.

Buenos Aires: Feels like a European system -- could be Madrid or Barcelona. Oldest equipment in use in the world on line A.

Sydney: More like a commuter rail/S-bahn system. Interesting double deck trains.

Melbourne: Also like a commuter rail/S-Bahn system with a downtown loop.

Singapore: Well run system with a lot of above ground sections -- interesting use of platform doors.

Kuala Lumpur: One line very similar to Vancouver, the other line entirely above ground -- more like a light rail line.

Hong Kong: Small system for size of the city, heavily used, interest "Dragon train" set up with full-width passageways between cars. (We could really use this in NYC)

Bangkok: Skytrain system entirely elevated -- only three car trains.

Beijing: Small system for city size.

Seoul: Heavily used system, well run, just completed an amazingly fast expansion.

Inchon: Like a branch of the Seoul system.

Tokyo: Impressive system, probably the best run system in the world. The gold standard for operating a large Metro.

Yokohama: One line, typical Japanese system, all seem very similar to Tokyo.

Nagoya: Typical well run Japanese system.

Kyoto: Only two lines.

Osaka: Large well run system, much like Tokyo. Good coverage of the city.

Kobe: Typical Japanese system.

Hiroshima: Small rubber tire cars, mainly elevated.

Moscow: Impressive system, incredible architecture especially on the older lines, busiest sytem in the world, able to handle the crowds, very short headways. The first "soviet system" -- many others very similar.

St. Petersburg: Typical soviet system, deep stations, also incredibly busy with interesting architecture, especially on the older sections.

Kiev: Soviet system, deep stations, interesting bridge crossings for lines across the river.

Cairo: Heavily used system, older line much like a very busy commuter rail/S-bahn line.

Helsinki: One line system, bright orange trains.

Stockholm: Interesting system, large size for city.

Copenhagen: Automatic system much like Vancouver or Kuala Lumpur.

Oslo: More like a commuter rail/S-bahn system/light rail system.

London: The oldest system and largest in route miles. Interesting difference between tube sections and subsurface sections. Interesting architecture.

Madrid: Like New York and Berlin it needs two fleets of trains to cover the narrow and wide lines it operates. Stations like Paris. Overhead power supply. Impressive expansion in recent year.

Barcelona: Good coverage of the city, well run.

Paris: Impressive system, probably the best coverage of the city in the world. Interesting split between rubber tired and steel wheel sections.

Brussels: Modern European system.

Rotterdam: Much like Brussels and Amsterdam.

Amsterdam: Hybrid system with Metro and light rail characteristics.

Hamburg: Much like Berlin, interesting El sections

Berlin: Large interesting system, architecture very interesting on the older sections. Yellow train color is different.

Frankfurt: Small system, much like an undergound light rail system.

Munich: Good coverage of city, impressive expansion, well run.

Vienna: Well run system.

Rome: Small system for city size, lots of graffitti.

Milan: Trains similar to Rome, much larger system. Older stations architecture not holding up well.

Warsaw: Close to the surface, uses Russian trains, only one line.

Prague: Typical three line soviet system.

Budapest: Two lines are like other soviet systems, oldest line like Boston's Green line.

Bucharest: Although built during the Communist era not like other "soviet systems" found in Central Eastern Europe.

Sofia: Small soviet system, barely enters the city center.

Athens: Only rode the old line - much like a commuter train/S-bahn.

I think I prefer the systems build before World War II, much more character!

Bangkok: Skytrain system entirely elevated -- only three car trains.
There is a subway also. It opened a year ago, maybe you went there before that. I think skytrain length varies, never thought about it.

Mine:




KUALA LUMPUR - Extensive but need lotsa work on integration of lines (most interchanges are currently upgrading). Metro lines are mostly elevated with a mish-mesh of many different train systems. Train fanatics would love to see the variety of trains KL had to offer ;)




SINGAPORE - A very well built line with great efficiency. Love their new NEL trains :okay:




HONG KONG - Very similar to Singapore's but platform looks a bit dated and small. Otherwise very well-maintained :)




VANCOUVER - Very similar to KL's Putraline as it is also built by Bombardier. Being driverless is a big plus ;)




SYDNEY - I love those double-decker trains and they are huge. I just think that they should upgrade all the trains to those of the Tanggara or the new Milliennium ones because those non-air-conditioned ones are really worn-out.




BANGKOK - They have a system similar to Singapore and Hong Kong but they are not as extensive. Otherwise a very well-built system ;)

Actually...the Double deckers in Sydney are very inefficient are are going to eventually be replaced.

I agree though, getting a non-airconditioned train is hell...although the Tangaras aren't airconditioned either :(

I only listed the system which I used more extensively than a few days of usage ... systems such as Seoul and Amsterdam I only spend a very short times in these cities so Dont' want to say much ...

London: A system which I rode quite extensively from zone one all the way to zone six ... even tried their lightrail
at croydon
The best classic system for its age ... way better than nyc or paris i thought ... one of the world's greatest metro and one of the many symbol of London ... my favorite station isn't the jubilee line ones but the heathrow ones ...

Tokyo: the best for its large size ... its clean, efficient, timeless, a great circle line, my favorite part its how each station relates to its neighborhood ... great urban design
however its really expensive

Hong Kong: the system which I have rode the most extensively ... rode all four rail systems ... the two heavy rail MTR and KCRC(80+ stations) systems are possibly the most efficient and cleanest system in the world ... whats special about the system here is it constantly changes through its advertisement(some has called hk's rail-station a Museum of visual design) ... and how it tries to improve constantly ... theres always some sort of improvement programme going on ...

Singapore: A system which I liked the details very much it doesn't have the layering of hong kong system but its usage of materials and lay out ... similary to its airport ... its very lasting ... i wished to have ridden it more ...

New York: a very shocking system for its classic yet dark underground ambience ... a system very hard to hate but also very hard to love ... definitely the most memorable system on NA and also the most extensive on NA ...
its hard to forget its style and ambience but its really quite scary and dirty ...
honestly a lot of works need to be done to this system ... for a system which i love and hate ...

Barcelona: to be honest ... everything about the city suprised me ... i expected a european medium size city mediocre system with minimal coverage but instead i found an above average system with great coverage ...

Vancouver: a system which sets itself apart from the others in NA ... a very clean, advanced efficient system ... its current coverage has much to be desired ... coverage to richmond, ubc, airport and more of downtown is definitely needed ... the good news is ... its going to happen

there are many other systems which i like but generally in asian metropolis ... as maybe they are newer with higher population hence more activities and cleaner ...

Thanks a lot JFK, interesting observations

I have traveled underground in
Stockholm
Berlin
London
Paris
Barcelona
Bucharest

Philadelphia (including PATCO and all commuter rail and suburban light rail)
New York City (including PATH and LIRR)
Boston
Washington D.C.
Baltimore
Atlanta

JFK, Philly's Broad Street Subway was built at the same time as the IND lines of NYC and to the same specs. When the SOAC cars were making their nationwide tour in the 70's, they traveled on the Broad Street Subway as it's the only of the city's two heavy-rail subways that could handle cars of those specs - identitcal to IND/BMT specs.

ME:
AUSTRALIA:
BRISBANE
SYDNEY
GOLD COAST
MELBOURNE
PERTH

The Gold Coast line is an intercity line from Brisbane and doesn't go underground.
Brisbane and Perth don't really have underground sections but Perth has a short extension of a line that is currently under construction that will go underground.
In any case, they're all suburban networks with underground sections, except for Sydney's airport line which is fully underground.


NEW ZEALAND:
AUCKLAND
WELLINGTON
NELSON
Auckland is in the same situation as Perth. A short extension of a line (one station?) was built underground. Auckland has more important things in terms of its rail network, like electrification.

Wellington has no underground lines except for possibly some tunnels. I don't really know the extent of the rail network because I never took a train when I lived there as a child - I was in an area served by the very good trolleybus network. There is a very long section of tunnel in one part of the busway though.

Nelson is just a large town, I don't even the passenger service (which you take for a scenic tour, not to get from A to B) reaches there.


As for me, if Sydney and Melbourne count, then those will be the only two in my list. I might have been on the Hong Kong one when I was very young.

Why have nobody mention the Blue line to the north in the Subway system in Stockholm? Every station in the blue line is like a magic kingdom looks like real caves instead of subway stations.
I hope any of you exploring that

here is a nice site there you can read more about the lines and stations in Stockholm and of course alot of photos
http://www.kynerd.nu/Tunnelbanan/Tunnelbanan.html

here is some pictures from beautiful stations in Stockholm subway.

here is the subway map so you can follow the lines and the stations

Liverpool (it's a metro by definition as small as it is)

Liverpool is not a metro by Kuesel's definition - "no trams or suburban trains"!

My list:

London
Lille
Paris
Singapore
Hong Kong

I've also been on suburban trains that run underground in:

Liverpool
Sydney
Melbourne

..and on trams that run underground in Dusseldorf.


Hmm, thought it was more.

Paris

I have travelled on the undeground in London, Paris, New YorK and Toronto all of which are well known of course.

I visited Moscow in 1979 and found the undeground there to be quite fascinating. It was as busy as London but almost surreal in its crisp 1930's Stalinist imagery with just a hint of decadent Art Nouveau. Is it still the same?

In 1998 I was the victim of a pick pocketing/muuging attempt while trying to alight from the underground in Barcelona.
It was quite scary as I had my wife and three small children with me. Nobody paid any attention to us inspite of the commotion we caused when cornered by the two would be thieves.

As a Scotsman I have to reccommend that real underground enthusiasts visit Glasgow.

The underground there consists of one circular line only which is narrow with seats along the sides only. I don't know of any smaller real underground trains which do actually carry people around their city.

It is known locally as the Clockwork Orange! (Yes that is its colour)

Those Glasgow trains are tiny!

Those Stockholm stations look very interesting...I hope use their system one day.

My (very short) list (no order):

New York (Worst experience)
- Dirty, stinky
- large, heavily used
- Pretty much what you'd expect from America's largest city
- In the summer some of the stations get real hot and muggy
Chicago (Least Remembered Experience)
- The only thing I can remember is that it took us quite a bit of time to travel a short distance
Vancouver (Cleanest Experience)
- Very short underground section
- By far the cleanest system
- Spectacular views of the city
- Would like to see it connect to Richmond and UBC
Toronto (Most Recent Experience)
- Heavily used
- good frequencies (even on the weekends)
- I really hope they continue to expand the subway
London (Best Experience)
- I absolutely ADORE the "tube"
- Excellent coverage
- Great frequencies
- Mix of modern and classic
- Very easy to use (for me at least)

Unfortunately, on most of my travels I was limited to getting around by car.

I have travelled underground:
Berlin
Dortmund
Munich
Cologne
Frankfurt

Montreal
Toronto
Boston
Newark + PATH
Buffalo
New York
Philadelphia + PATCO
Washington
Atlanta
Chicago
San Francisco
Los Angeles
Mexico City
Santiago
Buenos Aires
Hong Kong
London
Glascow
Paris
Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Brussels
Stockholm
Helsinki
Hamburg
Berlin
Frankfurt
Cologne
Munich
Prague
Rome
Vienna
Budapest
Warsaw
Haifa
Moscow
St Petersburg

Well, you guys have to know that NYC's is 100 years old, so of course nothing 'fancy'.

Taipei
Hong Kong
Singapore
Beijing
Tokyo
Washington, DC
San Francisco

New York
Jersey City (PATH)
Hoboken (PATH - ok, that was a long shot - it's only one station and its just past the border of Jersey City)

Not so impressive is it? I have to travel more.

Toronto
NYC
Philadelphia (once-this seemed to be the dirtiest system i've seen)
Boston
Washington, DC
Montreal
Pittsburgh (free subways in dwtn)
Chicago
St. Louis (a portion of their LRT is underground)
Vancouver BC ( a portion of Skytrain is below grade)
San Francisco (Muni & BART)
Los Angeles
London
Paris
Munchen
Brussels
Minneapolis (portion of the LRT is under ground)

Chicago
New York
Los Angeles
Toronto
Mexico City
Guadalajara
London
Paris
Madrid
Barcelona

Brisbane
Sydney
Melbourne
London
Singapore
Hong Kong
Paris
Newcastle (UK)

Thats all.

jt

Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Praque
Budapest
Sofia
Oslo
Brussels

Amsterdam - relatively small system, but easy and convenient in use;
Rotterdam - more impressive than the Amsterdam system, with a REAL underground transfer station (Amsterdam will have one soon);
London - really old, really claustrophobic, really vast, really cool!;
New York - stations are still in decrepit state, but the trains are aircoed! Kewl...!;
Paris - my first underground experience. I particularly like line 6, with its rubber tyres, overground sections and splendid view towards the Tour Eiffel;
Prague - clean, deep, efficient, communist...;
Berlin - surprisingly large network with some beautiful stations and wooden interior cars;
Vienna - my last new underground experience so far. Not much of a special system though, although traveling line 6 (hmmm..coincidence?), which is mainly overground and runs on an old elevated structure is recommendable.

Well, you guys have to know that NYC's is 100 years old, so of course nothing 'fancy'.

Umm...London's oldest underground section is 142 years old and still looks fine. So that's no excuse.
The NY system has been largely neglected after WWII, and well, this is what you got in return. Too bad, but fortunately, there are some great plans to re-modernize the entire system and finally build some significant amount of new lines! (#7 extension and the Second Avenue Subway).

- Antwerp
- Paris
- Chunnel (if that counts)
- Rotterdam
- Brussels

DELHI UNDERGROUNDD

( )

My list is pretty short:

Hamburg - for my needs it is good enough, but some big districts are not connected. Opened 1912.
Berlin - I like the new train sets. Also the flatscreens in the trains are better then the ones in Hamburg. Opened 1902.
London - It is just amazing when the tube rushes trough the tunnel. But the long way from the surface to the platform and also the often long ways between two platforms at the stations where you change are annoying.

Additionally the "metro" in Palermo (which is not a metro by definition of urbanrail.net) and the light rail in Istanbul between Beyazit and Eminönü.

Philadelphia
New York
Toronto
San Fransisco
Atlanta
Chicago
Los Angeles
Washington D.C.

6.Muenchen
7.Hamburg
8.Stuttgart
9.Praha

Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Paris (metro and RER)
Roma
Brussels (metro and pre-metro)
Prague
Barcelona (metro TMB and metro FGC)

Uhm, what I meant was, maybe not many people go to Delhi, hence they don't use the metro there. I was just suggesting a reason why it wasn't listed, not saying that people didn't know it existed.

I know that the Taj Mahal is popular. ;)

Hm, here's my list...

- Athens
- Rome
- Napoli

- Wien

Unfortunately I've only been in a few subways:
Los Angeles
San Francisco
New York City
Washington D.C.

Tokyo
Nagoya
Osaka
San Francisco
NYC
Manila (only one station is technically underground)

Toronto – clean, efficient, pleasant, big cars
Montreal – very 60s modern station architecture; French export cars quite narrow
Vancouver – mostly above ground; love the front row windshield
Mexico City – some time ago, but cars too small and unruly crowds; jolted by segregated women and children cars; Zocalo is a architectural and archaeological marvel
New York – rolling stock and some stations improved over the years, but system generally decrepit
Chicago – short underground section; really designed for commuter traffic to downtown only – inconvenient point-to-point within city; annoying announcements; noisiest in the world
San Francisco – very advanced for its time
Washington – blandly futuristic
Boston – some time ago it had vigilantes on system
Atlanta – convenient airport coverage to downtown, kind of dirty and unkempt for such a newish system
Philadelphia – old and unpleasant
Athens – some time ago, old and unpleasant
Hong Kong – very crowded all the time; deep underground levels at some stations)
Singapore – very efficient layout (easy entry / exit from car to street); heavily used
Tokyo – simply amazing for the sheer size, punctuality, coverage and ubiquity
Kyoto – small trains – the east-west line has a very awkward termination (one station short of the transfer station for many short-turned trains)
Osaka – similar to Tokyo
Manila – some time ago; almost all above ground, love the cheerful music
Buenos Aires – some time ago; most decrepit in the world; can see its faded former glory
Sao Paulo – some time ago; big city Metro, crowds behaved much better than Mexico City
Rome – some time ago; old, dark, graffiti, decrepit
Paris – old, dark, smelly, though stations are quite big and airy
Cairo – some time ago; very overcrowded, more like S-bahn

This summer (in order):
Wien (the newest)
Berlin (the oldest, but very interesting)
Stockolm (the best! Very beautiful)
Hamburg (very efficent)

Buenos Aires (I uses it every day)

San Pablo
New York
Madrid
Barcelona
Paris
Roma
Milan
Viena
München

The Best: New York
The newest: Madrid (the line to the international airport)
The most crowded: Buenos Aires, Roma, Milan

The "Linea A" train in Buenos Aires was built in 1913. Today is like a museum because you can get the original trains made in wood. They are very efficient. I love Linea A>

In my opinion the best of Europe that I know is Madris because is a very big network and the town is not a big city like London o Paris. The Metro Madrid is clean and easy to use.

Originally posted by FalubazMilano (as all 'metropolitane' in Italy - dirty, narrow and dark. but i like it as well. and it is still growing, the metro in Milano)

I found dirtier Warsaw and Amsterdam metros, Milan's a jewel compared to them!


Anyway I experienced these subways:

Chicago
London
Washington DC
San Fransisco
Paris
Tokyo

Oh! I forget:

HELSINKI
ROME

and perhaps others... but in my opinion, the best in Europe is.... MADRID METRO

bitxofo,

Wow, that's an impressive list! :okay:

Have you been on both metro systems in Copenhagen (S-tog and Metro)?

Amsterdam, fortunately they have a great tram system

Antwerp (pre metro :-( )

Athens, back in 1992, so it must have changed a lot. But I did like it.

Brussels, nice system and trains, also in the premetro part; very 'urban'.

Charleroi... CharlerWHAT? premetro. Could be a nice system in future, but... not yet. City is too small.

Lille, when it used to be a 'revolutionary' system.

Milan, on an August weekend : good system (a bit underused in the weekend?) - and still growing.

Paris, just amazingly dense.

Rome : great city, but metro needs at least 1 extra line. Overcrowded. Stations need new look. Doesn't need to be 1st class modern architecture ; just a newer and cleaner look !

Vancouver Skytrain.

i think there are 4 underground stations-3 in downtown and on in new westminister. the new line (RAV) i think is going to be mostly underground

but that's all that i've been on.

Tokyo
Kyoto
Vancouver
Sydney
Melbourne
Brisbane

bitxofo,

Wow, that's an impressive list! :okay:

I was in Copenhagen for the metro opening!!
:wink2:
Wow, I hope you enjoyed! :)

The M-system is still fairly small. The airport line is opening in 2007 (I think), and the cityring has just been approved. Construction of the city tunnel in Malmö started this last spring as well. ;)

London - travel almost everyday. Can never get bored of the system be it the old victorian 19th century sub surface parts to the polished steel and glass cathedral like 21st Century newest parts. Finally getting a nice bit of investment in to it. No real new tube lines planned though :(

Pairs - Has its own charm and character. Like London some stations require you to walk a fair bit to get to platforms etc which is annoying especially with luggage. Trains were frequent and stops a plenty. I Remember travelling on one line where it was possible to open doors BEFORE train stopped - didnt particularly feel safe to lean against doors on that one, though the parisians didnt seem to mind.

Prague - Perhaps one the few positive legacies from communism. More lines and more interchanges would really enhance the otherwise clean, reliabe - albeit characterless system.

Budapest - Had an interesting sub surface tram like line that I think could work well in many other similar sized cities looking to building light rail systems whilst moving away from the traditional on street and slower tram models. The other lines reminded me of the ones in Prague. DONT board trains without tickets - you WILL get caught 7 times out of 10. Could do with some ticket barriers if you ask me.

This thread still exists?! Wow, must be my most successful :lol:

Ok, now that I rode metros the past few months, I can take part in this thread.

Seattle (people list this...the monorail or the bus tunnel?? I rode both).

San Francisco: Was actually my first real subway in August. Stations were outdated, cars were old but nice. Loved the sounds they made. Impressed with the 10car trains...definitely more of a commuter rail.

Lyon: I'm a daily lyon metro rider now. I can say that I prefer smaller, more frequent trains, than longer, less frequent ones (example, metro D has cute 2-car trains every 30-40seconds during rush hour). Stations are modern, trains are nice and clean. Love it! The older lines have cars with couch-like seats. Some stations have bakeries inside...mmm

Paris: The walkways were a maze, and I didn't like the paygates. Reminded me of jail or something. I like the sounds of the trains arriving/departing. System is impressive. Rode RER once. Couldn't believe a subway car could have 2 floors!

I'm looking forward to riding London's and Budapest's.

Rode RER once. Couldn't believe a subway car could have 2 floors!

That's because the RER is more of a suburban rail network than a genuine metro network...;)

But as I've come to understand, bi-level trains are quite an oddity in the States. Germany already had them in the 1930's...

@KUB86:
RER is not metro!
:nono:

That's what I said, stupid...:|
