Germany is missing at least Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Frankfurt. Probably a few more.
Not really. While there are more cities in Germany with a system called U-Bahn only Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Nuremberg have real U-Bahn-systems all the others technically are Stadtbahnen, Unterstraßenbahnen or simular.
But if course it’s up for discussion if the term metro should be translated in such a strict way, or whether it should be done more open to include other systems as well.
Edit: So at least if you follow the definition of the word Metro by the UITP the map is completely correct for Germany.
Definitely a few more, at least Karlsruhe
Back when he could still take care of himself, my Geordie grandpa could walk to the metro station and get anywhere he wanted in Newcastle or the UK without getting in a car. When he moved to Manchester to be closer to his daughter so she could help take care of him, he lost that and was then completely trapped unless aomeone could drive him where he wanted to go.
So shoutoit ti the Tyne and Wear Metro for giving my grandpa independence for so long.
Didn't realize until today that basically every other country apart from Germany uses an "M" as a symbol.
UK's got S, M and the Underground roundel. I think it's interesting that those three different common terms, subway, metro and underground, used globally, all originate from the London Underground in different ways.
Very little of the Newcastle Metro is underground. Mostly it's just the bin in Sunderland and Newcastle itself.
Czechia just uses a big down vote. Seems like they're anti transit.
having visited London, Berlin and Vienna, metro is pure magic. basically teleportation.
London's Underground is amazing when it does work, but pure hell when it doesn't.
Once you have a rough idea of what lines go where, you can usually guess your way to your location by filling in gaps for lines that regularly go down (Lizzy Line...).
A lot of people assume that having trains every 3-5 mins is great, but that timing is needed to get the sheer number of people using the underground out of/around London.
Thankfully, London has a lot of great pubs, so you can grab a nearby coffee in the morning, or a beer or two in the evening until things calm down.
Izmir seems to have taken the old Sydney CityRail logo
Thanks, I love this map
