    Paris… Berlin… Moscow… Mexico City… These deserve to be on the “every metro” video for sure.

    Speaking about shanghai being 15 years ahead of schedule just before switching to Lausanne is peak comedy (the main station’s renovation will be finished 12 years late and the M3 won’t be finished before 10 years)

    Surprising you didn’t put the Hong Kong MTR who operate our Metro as well as Melbourne’s whole rail system, Stockholms metro system, and London’s Elizabeth line.

    Prague is probably my favorite in-train map layout. Three lines, and the way the braid together downtown is incredibly beautiful and simple.

    BART! BART! BART! Also cover Hong Kong's MTR and the Los Angeles Metro. I think these all deserve their own videos ngl.
