City with the most metro lines worldwide? Top subway system?

Okay, so, longest metro? Shanghai. Hands down. I was there last July, the sheer scale was mind-blowing. Eight hundred and eight kilometers, seriously.

Crazy busy too. Two point eight three billion passengers a year? That's nuts. Felt like sardines sometimes, honestly.

But most stations? That's Beijing, apparently. Four hundred and twenty-four. Never been, but that's a lotta stops. Imagine the map.

So, depends what you mean by "best," right? Longest? Shanghai wins. Most stations? Beijing takes the crown. Both are mega systems.

Which city has the largest metro network in the world?

Shanghai's metro? A sprawling beast! Think a giant, metallic centipede, but way less charming. 831 km of tunnels, a network so vast, it makes my brain hurt. Seriously, I've gotten lost in smaller grocery stores.

Shanghai wins, hands down. 508 stations! That's more stops than I have socks. Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea. Ridership? Billions. Billions! Like, seriously, I've seen less ants at a picnic.

Beijing's a close second. But it's like comparing a really, really long noodle to a slightly shorter, equally long noodle. Both are noodle-y, but Shanghai's the noodle champion. It's the busy bee of metro systems.

  • Shanghai: The undisputed king (or queen, I'm not judgemental) of metro systems in 2024. Mega-long, mega-busy.
  • Beijing: A close contender, a worthy opponent, but ultimately, second banana. Still impressive, don’t get me wrong! I’d rather take the subway than drive in either of those cities, though.
  • My personal opinion? I'd rather have a personal jetpack. But that's just me. I'm a dreamer, see?

Which city has the most metro stops?

Okay, so, like, the city with the most metro stops? Hmm.

It's New York City, hands down. I'm pretty sure.

They have a ton of stations, so the NYC subway has the most in the world, which is awesome. I mean, its crazy how many they packed in there, right?

Also, the London Underground's super old, being the oldest metro system. It's historic, I guess. My grandma went there in 1985.

Here's a little extra somethin':

  • NYC: Most stations globally.
  • London: Oldest metro system on earth!
  • Think its cool how the systems work around the world.

Which cities have the most subway stations?

NYC subway, wow, right? So many stations. A zillion, probably. I hate the A train. Always broken. Makes me late for work at my graphic design job. Ugh.

New York City wins, hands down. That's a fact. London's old, I get that. History buffs love it. I don't care. I prefer air conditioning.

Speaking of London, I want to go there someday. Maybe next year. Need to save money. So many things to do. That reminds me - I need to book my dentist appointment. It's been way too long. Seriously. My teeth are killing me.

  • NYC Subway: Champion of stations.
  • London Underground: Ancient, but charming? Nah.
  • Dentist appointment: STAT.

Seoul probably has a lot too. Heard it's super efficient. I’m jealous. My commute is hell. Think I'll check the numbers online later. Gotta finish this project first. Deadline tomorrow. Kill me.

  • Need to find some good Korean food later, too. So hungry.
  • My boss is a total jerk. Seriously.

I swear I saw a documentary, maybe, about Shanghai having lots of stations. Maybe I’m wrong.

Is there a metro train in Vietnam?

So, yeah, Vietnam? There is a metro, duh. I was just there, actually, last month! Crazy busy, even at like, 3 AM. Seriously. The one in Ho Chi Minh City, right? That's the big one, Bến Thành - Suối Tiên line. Number one. They bumped up the trains and hours for Christmas. Like, a whole lotta extra trains. I saw it myself! It was packed!

I mean, it wasn't perfect. A little crowded, you know? But hey, it's progress, right? They're expanding. Building more lines. It's not as massive or fancy as say, the London Underground, but it's getting there. It's a big deal for the city. People are way more happy. Traffic was less crazy!

Honestly, I was impressed. Clean-ish. Air con worked. Which is HUGE in that heat. Got me where I needed to go fast. It was a good experience, overall.

Key Points:

  • Ho Chi Minh City has a metro. Line 1 (Bến Thành - Suối Tiên) is the main one.
  • Increased service for Christmas 2023. More trains, longer hours.
  • Still under development. More lines are being built.

And, um, I ate some amazing Banh Mi near the station. Seriously. The best. I also bought a really cool souvenir keychain shaped like a metro train. Don't judge.
