There are subway networks in over 50 countries and 180 cities worldwide. Which subway is your favorite one and why? Let us know in the comments!
Moscow Metro, without a doubt. Each station has stunningly beautiful architecture, they're clean as if built yesterday, everything works and there's no graffiti or vandalism.
Newcastle or London
Hong Kong MTR, never had to wait more than 10 mins for a train even during off peak. Stations amazingly clean and safe. Cross platform transfers between some lines.
Very well integrated with shopping centres, housing estates, pedestrian walkways and bus hubs.
Sure, it gets crowded at rush hour, but what busy system doesn't?
Highly recommend Geoff Marshall if you are interested in the tube :)
Don't forget Jago Hazzard!
Jay formant in there aswell

Why - if it’s the oldest - do you call it a subway, not underground train which is also more self-explanatory?
Subway is very confusing because it means underground pedestrian tunnel in British English.
And Metro is form the Metropolitan Railway
The Paris Metro and all the other "Metro" railways were taken from the Metropolitan Railway, which was the first underground. The Metropolitan Line extends from the city of London out into Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
@@RoyCousins it's plan was Oxford and I kinda wish it got there
Why?
Because the line could been part of a Oxford Metro
Why Oxford most people think Oxford they Think the University but Milton Keynes is Very Near hone of the Open University then further down is Cambridge again University so what I'm saying is we could of had Crossrail for the University that Populate these University's proheps magliv Technology but this will enable much more information of Toffs to Educate the Next Generation company's like Google might sponsor it saving the public purse some money improving Knownlge almost our version of Silcon Valley proheps expand it to be a circle city with these cross rail points and a New Great Central mainland going above
Issues
* Damges to Evoment

* Time
* Government
* People
* existing transport
Souloutrion
Be more cruel and but strikes on people who haven't done it
Power of the trains (er we come on to that)
Trains the new ones on the Liz Line
Government explain its a project that churchil or other fake rule Britannia bs but go to king first
Well if a motorway gets displace were else then drive though Milton Keynes
Line of sight simply say its the future and thunderbirds march plays
Power convert Rutland into the National Nukea Power station payed by Rutland County Council supply by Rutland Warters the warter will just taste funny so just get Harrogate warter which is nicer or form your tap
Pros
The GCML is rebuild yay
Negative
Milton Keynes gets in the News again
My great Ted talk thankyou
"metro" is more generally understood perhaps.
subway is the american name for an underground railway.
A RUclips channel from the London transportmuseum: "Hidden London Underground" is a great way to explore the individual stations and their history, but they upload their video's not very regularly. Another RUclips channel which explains a lot is "Jago Hazzard" (he comes up with a highly informative about London video very regularly). I like London Underground a lot: it has a big history, and it has a special atmosphere to it.
Mind the gap! ❤
the underground is in england. subways in england aren't underground railways, they're metro's, named after the metropolitan railway which was the worlds first underground railway. a subway is an underground walkway.
You could talk to people, it's not that bad!
That was really weird 😅
I believe the word 'metro' derives from the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first... um... metro.
Nothing will even come close to the Moscow underground, each station is like a work of art, spotless and meticulously maintained.
yeah
And full of tyranny in the air. Free men don’t need that “art”
Perhaps Stockholm with its beautiful stations carved in the stone - and also many of the ex-soviet metros have very beautiful stations, like Jerewan, Tbilisi, Tashkent etc.
..
Problem is its in Russia
It has a lot of problems with connectivity, land use around the stations, conditions of some stations. I have lived in Moscow and now I live in London, I found transportation here, including metro way better designed
Should have a flat fare price of £3.00 everywhere you go
Cover the farmer riots.
Built with Indian cotton money
ka-ching
and how do you make that out? love the fact that you saying that is ironically racist by assuming everything about britain is built on colonisation and slavery.
Also Slave trade and genocide
@@RadicalAntifa ignorant response. suggest you read a bit more and learn about every and not just have a bias about one country.
Old. Out dated, decades out of date
there is a fine line between 'classic' and 'out of date'. but yea some parts of the tube are pretty grotty (looking at you bakerloo line)
bakerloo, northern and central lines could do with train and signalling updated and for those who travel on them (i use the central line) there is a reason why some people call them the misery lines however it's extremely expensive to update the entire network but it's being done. some lines are second to none, for example for several hours each day (rush hour in morning and evening) there is one train every 90 seconds on the victoria line. so while your comment is partially correct, it's mostly nonsense.
