Subway/Metro/Tube Maps...who wants to post them?

Hmmm...that map looks a lot like the Urbanrail.net map. The least you should do is mention the copyright

Like I said in my post, it's not my map.By the way I just took a look at the Urbanrail.net map, it is lacking a lot of information, the data on some of the metrolines is wrong and it is using the wrong colours.

Maybe you should send an e-mail to Robert Schwandl, the webmaster of Urbanrail.net. He'd be more than willing to correct some things. I sent him my improved version of the Amsterdam metro map, and he even used it for his site! Maybe he'd be interested to use yours?

thanks for the map Urgel

Thanks, I'll try that

I've noticed people have only posted maps of either Tokyo's subway network or the consolidated map in Japanese. To get a real sense of scale, here are two I'll post.

This one is just the JR map for the Tokyo area, the biggest of the rail companies and the one that handles the most passengers.



Now this one's the shocker. This map is of all the commuter lines... including those operated by the 12 or so other private companies outside JR. This one gives you a better sense of the scale of hte system. The JR lines on this map are in black.

That really is huge, indeed. But then, you shouldn't forget that the whole Tokyo metropolitan area has some 35 million (!) inhabitants.
The London and Paris suburban railway networks are quite dense too, but they serve an area of 'only' 10 million inhabitants. I believe that if those metropolitan areas were the size of Tokyo's, it would be comparable in density to the railways around Tokyo.

Nice maps Urge and Rail Claimore.

Highly unlikely though, the ridership on Tokyo's lines as a percentage puts almost everywhere else to shame. 36 million passengers use the entire system everyday.

...making it one of the most congested systems in the world. Interesting article, especially since it also focuses on the development of the Tokyo Metropolitan area. I never knew Tokyo was that dense, but it explains why I always found it rather 'small' on the map, when compared to other large cities.

wow, Tokyo is unbelievable!

It might not be to scale,but it's the closest I've seen and wayyy clearer than any other,well done

[Alargule]

Absolutely. I like this map the most (of all Tokyo-maps, that is. My all-time favourite still is the Tube Map).

@Kenlau13:
Resize the map, please!
You are going to break many Internet connections...

[Cerises]

Wow Tokyo's is very large!

Here is the map of the underground system of São Paulo - it includes the metropolitan trains of CPTM company.

The subway system of São Paulo - Brazil is used by 2.8 million people/day. and the CPTM metropolitan trains by 1.2million people/day.

São Paulo's subway is known as the cleanest of the world.

Great maps. I didn't know SP had express crosstown service.

[balacobaco]

Yes... the line E on the map is used an Express train, inside the city.
