This map is missing Istanbul; second oldest in the world after London. Since 1875.
🇬🇧 Another example of Barry Exceptionalism 🇬🇧
1995… Yea..
1950
En Madrid no hay metro
Yet more proof of British supremacy 💪💪💪
Do catacombs count as metro?🤔
What is this “metro” you’re speaking about?
Damn so it was the Barries who civilzed the PIGS like the Gayreeks huh?
Just imagine what would have happened if there would have been social media around then. Every time a new city would announce their Metro System, London would comment with “First!”
Barcelona, 1924. 100 years this year, not bad! 😀
Lausanne: 2008
1919. Not that bad
Laughs in potato
Metro? What’s that?
Oldest one in America is Cuba. Built back when it was still Spanish.
Our metro was made when Greece was a French colony i guess.
UK had metro in 1863 meanwhile we just had serfdom abolished in 1861 ijbol 💀
My own cities Liverpool is older than all of those listed apart from London. 1886.
Metro before red dead redemption? Wtf??
When it is raining so much in your country that you decided to dig an underground network in 1863 to escape this weather
Need to get one in Leeds
Fun fact, Budapest has the second oldest metro in the world, and the oldest electric metro in the world. Say what you want about Austria-Hungary, but they got to finally be first in something.
1904 in Athens is really a stretch.
I went to the London transport museum and this astounded me. In 1870 they began digging the deep tunnels and invented a tunnel boring machine that is still the basis for modern tunneling! https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visit/museum-guide/digging-deeper
And the Glasgow one never expanded ever since, still the same wee circle lol
Fun fact: Berlin hasn’t improved their metro service in 120 years.
Paris could have been the first one but it took more than 50 years just to approve a project. You can’t make it more french than that
1863 in Barcelona.
Had no idea Glasgow’s was that old. I will now regurgitate this to everyone, thanks.
