Subways of the world I've ridden

US (I missed going on the Chicago systems and the S.F. MUNI when I was in those cities):

I'm not entirely sure why Hiroshima is listed as having a subway, when at most it has trams/streetcars. I made a point of hitting as many subways as possible in Japan. :) You can hover over the images to see the cities they go with. 12 systems so far, not bad. :)

I was going to do this meme today but had been too lazy to go find the site again! So yay.

You know, it's a good question about Hiroshima. I know I rode public transit there, but I don't recall being underground. That list is more than a little annoying for what it has/misses.

I've been on the TTC and the one in Washington DC.

Then you've got one I didn't!

I think it's supposed to only apply to urban heavy rail, so, Hiroshima is weird. Missing Patco is weird. I'm a little unsure about RER.

I don't think it's supposed to include LRT.

[melted-snowball.livejournal.com]

Well, but it does have the one in Haifa, too, which is practically just an underground funicular. *shrug*

It just seems uneven.

It's so wrong. :) Dallas's DART is totally LRT. Then the various S-bahns in Europe are all regional rail, similar to the RER.

And there are two Chicagos? There's only one subway/metro system, the El, which is run by the CTA. There's also METRA, but it's commuter rail and not listed at all. So there could be two, but not the two they have, which are two names for the same thing. o.O

I think the CTA is changing their logo to the 'L' one for the metro, but someone got confused...

And they might include the RER because it does apparently go underground in the city. Who knows...

[fweebles.livejournal.com]

The RER does go underground! We took it a couple times from one side of the city to the other without going out into the suburbs/country (and thus were underground the whole time).

But still, the train configuration and schedule are more regional in nature, even if you can take it across the city. It's like riding the GO from Etobicoke to Scarborough, which you can't do without changing trains at Union, but for argument's sake, pretend you could.

But you're still seriously up on me.
