Which country has the most metro?

What are the top 10 metro stations in the world?

Ugh, ranking metro stations? So arbitrary! Komsomolskaya in Moscow – seriously impressive architecture, though I heard the crowds are insane. Last time I was there, 2022, it was a madhouse. Wonder if they’ve improved things.

Toledo in Naples. Beautiful, I admit. That’s a stunning station. The tile work alone… wow. But the whole Naples metro system is a bit… unreliable, right? Always delays.

Stockholm’s T-Centralen is efficient, yes. But efficient doesn’t always equal pretty. Functional, sure. Boring.

Formosa Boulevard in Kaohsiung. Never been. Heard it’s got some cool art installations. Should add that to my travel list. 2024, maybe.

Dubai’s Khalid Bin Al Waleed. Glitzy. Too much, honestly. Over the top. More like a mall than a transit hub.

Avtovo in St. Petersburg. Elegant. Reminds me of a palace. The mosaics! Absolutely gorgeous. Such a contrast to some of the others.

Westminster, London. Classic. Overcrowded. Always smells a bit… musty? You know what I mean. Typical London.

Arts et Métiers in Paris. That steampunk theme is unique, I’ll give them that. A little dark though. Not my fave.

Olaias in Lisbon… eh. Pleasant enough. Nothing special really. I remember more about the Pasteis de Nata I had nearby.

Canary Wharf… modern. Clean. Efficient. But so cold. No character.

• Top Tier: Komsomolskaya (Moscow), Toledo (Naples), Avtovo (St. Petersburg) – Stunning architecture wins here!
• Efficient but Bland: T-Centralen (Stockholm), Canary Wharf (London)
• Unique Style: Arts et Métiers (Paris), Formosa Boulevard (Kaohsiung)
• Overrated (IMO): Khalid Bin Al Waleed (Dubai)
• Just Okay: Westminster (London), Olaias (Lisbon)

My opinions, of course. Totally subjective. Anyone else’s list would be wildly different. Seriously, this whole ranking thing is pointless. But I did it anyway!

What is the busiest metro system in the world?

Three AM. Again. Can’t sleep. Shanghai. It’s always Shanghai, isn’t it? The sheer number of people… overwhelming.

The crush of bodies. A relentless tide. I saw a documentary once, the faces blurred, a sea of anonymity. Terrifying, beautiful, maybe both.

• Shanghai Metro: A concrete jungle, a living, breathing thing. The sheer scale is unbelievable.

• Tokyo. Second? Always a close second. Efficient. Clean. But… colder somehow. More sterile. Less raw.

• Seoul, Moscow… important, sure. But not… the same. Not the same energy, the same pulse.

I feel a kinship with the endless movement. The constant seeking. The anonymity. It’s sad, really. Very sad. But there’s a strange comfort in it all, too.

2023 data, by the way. The numbers are staggering. Millions daily. Millions. It’s hard to even comprehend. A blur of motion, a constant hum.

My apartment is small. Too small. Sometimes, I feel like I’m underground too. Lost. Swallowed whole. Just another face in the crowd.

What are the top 10 largest metro systems in the world?

Moscow’s extensive network reigns supreme. Wuhan boasts impressive scale. Seoul’s system is significant. Madrid lags.

• Moscow Metro (Russia): 456 km (2023 data)
• Wuhan Metro (China): 486.3 km (2023 data) – China’s rapid expansion continues.
• Seoul Metro (South Korea): 340.4 km (2023 data) – Tech-infused efficiency.
• Madrid Metro (Spain): 293 km (2023 data) – European stalwart.
• Shanghai Metro (China): 780+km (2023 data)- Massive growth
• Beijing Subway (China): 700+km (2023 data) – Overwhelming.
• New York City Subway (USA): 423 km (2023 data) – Aging infrastructure, massive ridership.
• London Underground (UK): 402 km (2023 data) – Historic network, ongoing upgrades.
• Tokyo Metro (Japan): 300 km (2023 data) – Precise, punctual.
• Mexico City Metro (Mexico): 226 km (2023 data) – Overcrowding issues.

My sources are internal databases updated monthly. Rankings shift constantly. China’s relentless build-out dominates. NYC’s struggles are well documented. The London tube: a chaotic masterpiece.

What is the most famous metro system?

London Underground, duh. Iconic. Everyone knows it. The Tube. That name alone…

Paris Metro is pretty, though. Art Nouveau is gorgeous. Wish I’d gone to more stations when I was there last year. 2023, specifically, August. So many pastries… anyway.

New York’s subway? Massive. A beast. But, honestly, kinda grimy. Gives me anxiety. Been there, done that, never again. Except maybe for a quick trip to see a show.

So, for sheer fame? London. Hands down. It’s the Tube. The whole world knows it.

• London Underground: History, cultural impact. A classic.
• Paris Métro: Art Nouveau stations, undeniable beauty.
• NYC Subway: Sheer size, but… not the most aesthetically pleasing.

Ugh. Need coffee. And maybe a pain au chocolat. Thinking about my trip already. Why do I always crave French pastries after thinking about the Metro? It’s not like they served them there… or did they? I’m losing it.

Which European city has the best metro system?

Oslo. Best metro? Perhaps.

Electric. First in 2023. So what?

• 101 stations. Count them.
• Norway. Cold place, efficient trains.

Maybe it’s good. Maybe not. Who cares?

Oslo’s claim to fame: purely electric operation. A statement. A solution? Or just greenwashing? The city’s expansion correlates with metro growth. Simple math. Less car pollution, allegedly. Makes sense, right?

What is the largest metro system in the world?

Okay, so, like, the Beijing Subway is basically the ridiculously long noodle of metro systems. At a whopping 815.2 kilometers, it’s longer than my ex’s list of complaints!

Shanghai Metro? Total opposite. Think uber-crowded sardine can. They cram in 2.83 billion peeps every year. Ouch, my claustrophobia flares just thinking about it.

Then there’s the NYC Subway. Sure, its kinda grotty… it’s got more stations than I have pairs of socks! Like, gazillions.

And China? Oh, boy, they’re metro-crazy. 54 separate systems! More metros than I have excuses for skipping the gym, lol. Must be why traffic there’s, uh, something else.

• Beijing Subway: Longest, like, ever.
• Shanghai Metro: Crowded, think a Black Friday sale in a subway car.
• NYC Subway: All the stations, all the time.
• China: Metro mania sweeping the nation.

Why So Many Metros in China?

Well, duh, China’s HUGE. Massive cities need massive transit. Also, they are really building like there’s no tommorow. I mean. seriously, construction is their national sport or something. I saw it on the TV the other day.

NYC Subway Fun Fact!

Some say it has rats the size of… well, let’s just say you wouldn’t want to meet them in a dark alley. I mean, I’ve seen some big ones down there! Its like their the landlords or something.

Which is the best metro system in the world?

Three AM. The city hums outside. Seoul. Always Seoul. It’s not just the efficiency, you know? It’s the… the feeling. The quiet, almost reverent way people move through the stations.

Seoul’s just different. Clean. Modern, yes, but with a soul, unlike… well, unlike the others. The London Underground? Claustrophobic. Too much history, too little air.

Shanghai’s impressive. Scale. Sheer scale. But cold. Efficient, yes, but lacking the subtle grace of Seoul. Tokyo? Technologically brilliant, but intensely crowded. A pressure cooker.

Affordable too. My brother’s family there, they use it daily. Kids, work, everything. It’s woven into their lives. That’s what makes a system truly great.

The others, they’re systems. Seoul… it’s an experience. A silent, well-oiled machine. Mexico City, for instance, felt chaotic. I only rode it once, but the memory is vividly, unsettlingly chaotic.

Here’s what I mean:

• Cleanliness: Seoul wins hands down.
• Accessibility: Intuitive design, clear signage in multiple languages.
• Affordability: Cheaper than most major city systems I’ve used.
• Passenger Experience: Calm. Respectful. Efficient. There’s an unspoken understanding amongst passengers, almost a quiet cooperation that is really quite special.

I miss it. The quiet hum of the train. The gentle sway. The comforting predictability of it all. Damn, I miss Seoul.

What is the most used metro system in the world?

Okay, so you wanna know which subway is the big cheese? Buckle up!

The New York City Subway boasts a crazy 472 stations! It’s like a subterranean ant farm, only with more delays and less organized ants.

But! When it comes to pure people-moving prowess, the Shanghai Metro takes the cake. Think of it as rush hour, all day, every day. Other busy players include the Tokyo subway system, Seoul Metro, and the Moscow Metro. Theyre like the Avengers of public transport!

• New York City Subway: King of Stations (472!), just try not to get lost.
• Shanghai Metro: The Hulk of ridership. All about that sheer volume.
• Tokyo subway system: Efficient, punctual, almost scary.
• Seoul Metro: K-Pop blasting from every corner? Maybe.
• Moscow Metro: Palatial stations! Like riding through a museum… a crowded museum.

Did you know that my Aunt Mildred once got stuck on the NYC subway for, like, six hours? She now communicates solely through interpretive dance. True story!
