  1. i should have expected this, but i am suprised, that some countries have more than one metro system 😀

  2. The year for Istanbul is wrong, should be 1875 (Tünel line with 2 stations).

  3. The per capita density in Spain in particular is insane. I know the population is heavily concentrated in a few poles, but it’s still a heck of a lot.

  4. Hopefully some day Ireland will join this map but maybe im too optimistic…

  5. Interesting, I’m really surprised by some. Like Budapest metro is pretty old, like one of the first. And Moscow has +500km of lines, pretty insane.

  6. We invented the railway and the metro yet have been failing at both since it seems

  7. This is missing the U-Bahn in Frankfurt Am Main.

    Additionally large German metro areas have an S-Bahn which blurs the line between between metro and suburban rail.

  8. Kyiv metro goes fucking deep!! I’m half Ukrainian and always visited my grandparents ever other year (not anymore) and it felt like I was on shrooms never seen such a long escalator 

  9. Also Kayseri does not have a metro, that’s only a tram. Or two tram lines.

  10. Can someone enlighten me about why red and blue are so present throughout?

  11. This is missing Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Karlsruhe in south western Germany alone

  12. Just you wait until the Metro in Thessaloniki opens up and you’ll see two pins on Greece in the next 3 to 50 years.

  13. Idk if it is already included, but berlin should be both S Bahn and U Bahn combined, as both would normally be considered „Metros“

  14. Milan, biggest and oldest in Italy, gets the smallest icon.

  15. Isn’t Merseyrail more like suburban rail but with metro-like characteristics, like an S-Bahn?

  16. If the Málaga metro is on there, then the Granada metro should be too

  17. There are missing metro services in the picture like the one in Porto, Portugal

  18. London one is so damn old i like it. I would like to visit the oldest station it’s such a time travel thing

  19. What is their definition of a metro? Only underground lines? Almost every German city that is a bit larger has a metro system. Except Mannheim, they have a Hochbahn.

  20. That’s missing the vast majority of networks in Germany – Dortmund, Köln, Stuttgart, Bochum, Frankfurt, Essen, Düsseldorf, Bonn … basically all of Western Germany.

  21. Belgrade with official 1,5 million inhabitants in urban area be like: ✨what the hell us a metro system?✨

  22. I’m not sure I’d class merseyrail as a metro myself 

  23. Iceland despises metro systems or any public transportation in anyway the government is always saying its going to sell it because it is running at minus income money. Cries in icelandic

  24. The M club, the U club and Glasgow- what does the S stand for?

  25. Bucharest metro is amazing. Two of the existing lines to be extended and a brand new one to be built soon.
