It's related to the fact that all of Japan's railways are privatized so there's like eight competing railway companies serving the Tokyo metro area and that map is showing them all at once. Also yes it's terrifying. I've been to Tokyo a bunch of times and never used the Tokyo subway because all the places I've wanted to be have been served by JR or Keikyu trains. I wonder what the subway is like.

Never actually used it, but New York City Subway is my favorite subway. Though the station names are awful and unimaginative.

How confusing/hard to naviguate do people find the Paris Metro? I think it's pretty straighforward but I'm very used to it, so maybe I'm not objective. I really like the original names though. http://www.ratp.fr/informer/pdf/orienter/f_plan.php

 Barcelona's public transportation owns and it's gonna own even harder once they connect the two tram networks through Avinguda Diagonal and finish lines 9 and 10.

It's probably just not a system that fits well into that cutesy symmetrical-with-focus-on-circles style that particular artist uses. Also as I said that map is not showing just the subway system. It's a combined map of all the rail services in the Tokyo metro area. Including JR, Keio, Keikyu and so on.

Funny that even today Kowloon City doesn't have an MTR stop. You've gotta take a minibus from Kowloon Tong or Wong Tai Sin. The MTR is relatively simple because Hong Kong is dense as hell and was deliberately developed along thin rail corridor strips.

JosefStalinator posted:BART owns, and is easily the most decipherable map posted yet. But that's largely because BART has lovely coverage within core areas (like SF, Oakland, and Berkeley). It's not a bad system, but it's pretty much a hybrid metro/commuter rail system. It acts like commuter rail in the suburbs, with just one or two stations in any given town, but has a lot more/closer together stations within SF, Oakland and Berkeley, like a metro system. It focuses more on the commuter aspect overall though, so you have poor coverage within individual cities. It's only useful for travelling within SF if you live within several blocks of mission street or market street where it goes through downtown, for example....which covers what, just 20% of the city? So you still have to take the bus, or light rail, or walk or whatever afterwards, if you're going to most places in SF via BART. Thankfully they're expanding to SJ finally, and also have conceptual plans for new lines in SF/Oakland/Berkeley (as you can see in the map, though there's more that's not shown) and a second Transbay tube between SF and Oakland (which would all be amazing, and it would finally act like a proper metro system within SF and Oakland/Berkeley). But those new lines are going to be insanely expensive and there's no money for any of it.

Shbobdb posted:Given the absolute dominance of Paris, would a more federalized system even make sense for France? I get that it is kinda tautological, Paris is absolutely culturally and politically dominant because Paris is absolutely culturally and politically dominant, but isn't that also really true? I don't know about a federal system but a bit of decentralization in certain areas would be pretty nice. Paris is absolutely politically dominant but from the far end of Finisterre it feels pretty culturally distant. Riso posted:Behold Vienna's five subway lines. Behold Rennes' single line.  Although in a few years* there will be a second.  *probably by 2018 or 2020 or who the gently caress knows when oh god there's nowhere to park because of the construction.

 This is subway, tram/subway streetcars and one bus line, for whatever reason. Note the horizontal coast line in the image. Maps of The Hague will often have this, or a straight north-south coast line, even though neither make sense. It just makes for neater maps.

- Those aren't subway lines. The Hague has no subway. Those four lines are part of the Light Rail network. They may go overground or underground in places, in other places they use the regular tram rails. - The reason for the one bus line is because it's a replacement for Tram 9 to Scheveningen, which isn't running until december because of construction work.

Dear God you fool. What have you done? You've mentioned Romania. Now we'll never hear the end of it. Now I fully expect 3peat to give a full rundown of Romania's collective opinion on each of these countries and hope to see an expansion to the rest of the world's countries.
