I love it. I saw a programme on it on the Science Channel, about those subway commercials that you can always see no matter how fast you go!

Explanation

Line 4 (blue) has a futuristic design perhaps because it is the newest one, but older lines are being redesigned into the same style.
I read a post someone did not like the trains. That is due to pictures showed the older light blue square-front trains built in the 1970s and 1980s. As you may realize there are three train models: the oldest ones, those resembling the trains that serve Meteor Line in Paris, and those serving Line 4 (red front and gray painted).

Greetings

the stations are wonderful, ones of the best i've ever seen, espesialy the blue light is sooo nice, and the trains of the L4 are very fine, grey with those cute signs red and orange on the side.

It more and more seems to me that Santiago belongs to the world's most beautiful systems, along with Stockholm, Moscow, Montréal, Washington, Athens, Paris, St Petersburg, Prague etc.

BTW strange that it's often the Blue lines that are the best... True for Stockholm, Montréal, and obviously for Santiago as well...

Where was the joke? The part I stated the system was clean, attractive and modern? Or that the rolling stock needed to be updated? It seems the only joke here is you.

Excellent photos Oscar. The design of line 4 emphasizes by on the others of the world when incorporating bold mixtures of light and architecture of first level ordered by Metro S.A. to diverse consulting companies. And thus, without leaving of side the culture and the estetic for its users the Santiago's subway grows to become but the long one of latinoamerica. Greetings from the south of the world in Chile.

I know (I get this station every day, because I live close). It is just that it is not at all funny.

The right answer would be "I don't think it's funny at all"
You should chill out my friend (i was going to write "you should Chile out my friend" but you wouldn't find that funny either...)
That was supposed to be a joke...don't know why you misunderstood me
Anyway... this metro system is really nice
