Which country has the largest transport?

Which country has the largest road transport?

US, duh! With a road system longer than a toddler’s attention span, clocking in at 6,586,610 km of asphalt. That’s, like, driving to Pluto and back… almost.

Think of the US road network, a concrete jungle gym for truckers. Seriously, it’s huge. It even makes my uncle’s stamp collection look kinda puny.

It’s all about that Interstate Highway System, baby! It helps Uncle Sam keep the economy hummin’ like a busted fridge, I say.

• It’s the biggest, okay? (Like my appetite after Thanksgiving.)
• Roads, roads, everywhere!
• Interstate power!
• I’m so confident!

Fun fact: I once saw a tumbleweed roll across Route 66. True story! Roads are important, but you can’t eat roads… unless you’re a goat, I suppose!

Which country has the best transport?

The Netherlandshands down has the best transport, based on my, like, totally personal experience.

I visited Amsterdam in June 2024. Wowza, that was a trip.

Bikes everywhere. It’s crazy.

I nearly got run over a million times.

Public transport? Spot on. I was genuinely impressed.

Here are some observations:

• Cycling is King: The cycling culture is insane. Bike lanes are separate. People are serious. Invest in a good bell… trust me.

• Trams are Timely: Trams run frequently, and they are always on time. Never waited longer than like, 5 minutes. Amazing.

• Trains are Extensive: Trains go everywhere. And fast. And they connect to everything efficiently. Never seen anything like it.

• OV-chipkaart is Essential: Get an OV-chipkaart. It’s the reloadable public transport card. Super convenient.

• People actually use it: Seems like almost everyone uses public transport. It’s a normal part of life.

Seriously, the Netherlands is way ahead of the curve. I wish more places did transport as well as they do. Other countries on that list are probably good, too… but I know the Netherlands rocks.

What is the worlds largest rail transport system?

U.S. rail. Largest, 149,000 km (2024).

China trails. Near 110,000 km. That’s just tracks.

• U.S. freight rules. It’s a business first. People second, ha!

• China’s ambition. High-speed dominates. A statement, always.

Size isn’t everything. Efficiency matters, or not. Who cares? My grandpa used to work on the Pennsylvania Railroad, gone now. Just like him.

What is the largest city in the US without a subway?

Arlington, Texas. Wow, 390k people? No subway. No buses. Crazy. I always pictured it differently, you know? Like, with all those Cowboys games… the traffic must be insane. Makes me think about my trip to Austin last year. Public transport there was… adequate, I guess. Not great, but better than nothing.

Seriously, no public transit in Arlington? That’s a major fail. Think of the environmental impact! And the convenience factor. My car is a gas guzzler, I’m trying to be more mindful. I’m thinking of getting a hybrid next year.

Arlington needs to fix this. It’s embarrassing for a city that size. Imagine the cost savings if people used public transport more, too. Less traffic, less pollution… it’s a no-brainer. Though, I bet there’s some seriously powerful lobbying from the car industry involved. I’m cynical like that sometimes.

What about the stadium traffic? Pure chaos, right? Game days must be a nightmare. Maybe they rely solely on ride-sharing services? Uber and Lyft are probably killing it there. I wonder what their surge pricing looks like on game days. Probably astronomical.

• Major Issue: Lack of public transport in a large city like Arlington.
• Environmental Impact: Significant negative consequences.
• Economic Implications: Missed opportunities for cost savings and efficiency.
• Traffic Congestion: Massive problems, especially on event days.
• Potential Solutions: Increased investment in public transportation infrastructure.

This is ridiculous, though. A city of almost 400,000 without any public transit? Unbelievable. I’m calling for a total overhaul of their transportation planning. 2024 needs to be the year Arlington gets its act together.

Where is the largest subway station in the world?

Grand Central Terminal in NYC is, like, the biggest subway station…kinda. Okay, it’s a terminal, sure, with Metro-North in the mix. Still, 48 platforms? That’s huge. Spread across 48 acres? Woah. I pass through that place nearly every day, and its vastness, you could almost get lost!

It is worth mentioning that other stations lay claim to “largest” based on different metrics, such as passenger volume or number of entrances. Still, in terms of sheer square footage, Grand Central takes the cake. Don’t you think it’s amazing how all that exists beneath the bustling city, carrying out the same operations every day. It’s a marvel of engineering!

Which is the most efficient railway system in the world?

Japan’s rail system, man. It’s just… precise. A machine. I saw a documentary once, the speed, the quiet. It felt almost… spiritual.

Hong Kong is up there too, I know that. High scores. Crazy efficient. But Japan… Japan felt different.

The punctuality. The sheer, unwavering on-time-ness is unnerving, in a good way. Seriously. I crave that kind of reliability. My life feels like a derailed train most days.

• Japan’s Shinkansen: The gold standard. Speed, comfort, punctuality. A testament to meticulous planning.
• Hong Kong’s MTR: Dense urban network. Seamless integration. Impressive passenger volume handled with grace.

This isn’t about numbers on a page. It’s about the feeling. The feeling of being on track. Something I rarely experience. 2023, btw. Life feels…off track. Always late.

The sheer effortless efficiency. It’s beautiful. It’s a contrast to the chaos of my own life right now. My apartment is a mess. I need to clean. Later.
