What's the status for the metro to San Siro btw?

Slowly they are building bicycle paths everywhere in Milan, but subscribers to the Bike I are constantly growing.

You're talking about the second subway line M5 trance (this is the second batch, one that runs from Garibaldi Station to San Siro)
For sites that have opened this spring and should be completed in 2015, just in time for Expo.

Looking this and the other videos of MyMetropolitano, it seems that there is a lot of graffiti on the trains.

Yes, graffiti is an Italian plague, Milano is no exception, it is like a cancer in our Italian cities. There had been graffiti on the Assago station before it was even opened!

Line 3 trains has less graffiti, its depot is safer against intruders. Line 2 has the worst problems.

And some nutjobs go on TV explaining that is just a way for the alienated youngster Italians to express themselves in a country that ignores them

Recently the problem become worse and worse, as far as I know writers from every part of Europe come to Milan to 'perform'

M2 branch you can see in the video is particularly hit by the phenomenon, overall Gorgonzola M2 depot where writers can easely in to leave their sign on the trains

I see, because when I went in Milan few years ago, there weren't any graffiti on trains unlike in Rome.

Any reason why graffiti in Italy is bad?

[GENIUS LOCI]

I don't know what to say. Then there are differences amog the cities

Anyway in Milan nowadays there are way less graffiti on the buildings (too many though) respect, for istance, '90s or early '00s)
For the trains (in particular metro trains) it is the opposite: their massive 'decoration' is a quite recent phenomenon

Ok, I apparently went crazy for these transit videos
