10 Craziest Subway Maps 

^Tokyo^ NANI?!

なに？！

Titanic: OOF!

Leopold Polák actually that’s not accurate about the subway system. There are two companies that run what are classified as a subway system. They are known as 1) Tokyo Metro (formerly known as Teito Rapid Transit Authority (帝都高速度交通営団 Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan), commonly known as Eidan or TRTA) is a private company jointly owned by the Japanese government (through the Ministry of Finance) and the Tokyo metropolitan government. 2) Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei Subway) which is owned solely by the government of Tokyo. Rapid transit systems combined. Number of lines 13 Number of stations 285 Daily ridership 8.7 million Now all of those lines are in fact are rapid trains but they’re mostly rapid commuter systems and private lines that are the overwhelming bulk of transit in the metropolitan area. This Wikipedia article basically explains how this complicated system moves. So in short the subway is much smaller.

Metro on Tokyo is traditional

堀谷尚貴 A paradise for rail enthusiasts!

Railways are included because they have direct services to subway lines and subway companies in Tokyo regard them as part of the metro network

ONLY JAPANESE THOUGHT -> Tokyo Subway is consist of ONLY Tokyo metro & Toei Subway which are NATIONAL ONLY ZIKATETSU (I don't know about Japanese KANJI漢字) WORLDWIDE PEOPLE'S THOUGHT -> Private Metro's are ALSO SUBWAY! ZIKATETSU + DEN-SHA (Such as Seoul line 1, Suin Line, Yamanote line)

the railways are all integrated with subway, no much different.

Chang : I agree with you! Keio, Odakyu, JR Higashinihon(東日本) and other private railways are not different from Municipal Subway lines! Suica and Pasmo can be used with those rails! If they are train rather than metro, IC card should not be used!

@Queen_PLATINE! You said that like it's a bad thing.

New York has a bigger Rapid Transit than Tokyo

WTF celui de Tokyo

London underground: Well, Crossrail is coming! And there are new train extensions towards the east of the map and the south!

The biggest metro system is Shanghai metro

Most of stations aren't underground

well most of the station of new york arent underground either@@bulat_shams

The only one who use underground as the formal name is London Underground yet only 30 percent of its track actually bellow the ground

@@RyanTaylor2000 только хотел написать что англичане и здесь отличились.

Иван Васильев you’re irrelevant, I just talked about the usage of name Underground in London, what should be the exception???

Train divides we have in Denmark as well. But they usually announce what cars go where over the intercom.

dude ive been taking subway from narita to urban area of tokyo for five times but i still take wrong line every time...

+Super express (Shinkansen)

add special rapid and sub semi express.

where's COMMUTER EXPRESS??

See Seoul metro too it's way crazier!

Absolutely! So amazed by Tokyo when I.was there.

Oh, you don't know your ABC's and numbers? :) Each station on the official MTA map (not the crappy fan-designed version shown in the video) is labeled with the lines served. Yes, stations can be confusing, as there were originally three different companies (IRT, BMT/BRT, IND). Also, those express lines are a brilliant design! Not only do they allow commuters a fast trip into the city, but they also serve as auxiliary tracks during accidents and repair. ...and then there is the 24/7 service...

Tu as tout dit :) d'autant plus que le plan est plus simple avec les noms de rues www.ratp.fr/plans-secteur/metro%20paris%20avec%20rues

NYC is best

London’s is very iconic

I love the line 5, it's really rounded

Nimic а в других городах пиздец

A lot of radial lines and one circular line to embrace them all. So simple yet so effective! 100% Soviet style 😎

wow, when in 2020 Metro warszawskie will expand, it will get in 20th place of biggest metro Networks

WASIURPA New York is less crazier.

Ha ha ha.

W Train Broadway Express, New york's map is crazy but still its in 4th place, 3rd place Is London Underground [LU]

Seoul is still hard for Korean..lol

The NYC subway does the same for Metro North and LIRR but they didn't include it into the count. The tokyo stats they gave is inflated with railway and metro.

What about Harry Beck?

The idea of a diagrammatic network map was first conceived by Harry Beck.

Now pull out the national rail map for London.

Nope it is not possible to show all the railway lines in tokio on a small map. Ok technically you could but you'd need a magnifying glass ;)

@@offichannelnurnberg5894 What railway lines were left off that map?

Yeah, but the commuter rail network pretty much functions as their metro system. It’s also optimized for standing like in a metro, not sitting like in a train.

@@kyh148 Then he could have done the same with London's map. Full maps are available, but he chose to stick with TFL. There are a lot more commuter rail lines that work like a Metro in London/ Greater London too. Tokyo Metro is distinct from other JR Lines that run nationally.

yes, it's very well designed russianmetro.ru

mainly because I've studied it for 5 years lol

They have put a lot of effort into designing an easy to use and comprehensive metro map. Also I like its local navigation, though most people hate it for whatever reason.

@@nochnoyru www.mosmetro.ru/metro-map/

Yes

The Beijing one was very pleasant with the two concentric circle lines that connect all the other lines. I haven't been to China, and I don't really plan on going there, but I'd think that makes finding a connection much easier - you're never that far away from a concentric circle.

The Beijing one is a bit confusing

Yes; a very clear structure and easy to use. Some of the older stations on the 1 and 2 lines are not very child- or handicap-friendly, but apart from that, it works like a charm, and goes to most of the important stuff.

Rafi old map

more complicated now

Beijing map is outdated, too. it's 2013.

That’s true but Seoul already has to much subway lines and stations

according to Wikipedia Seoul Subway is most longest line Length in the world.

Tokyo: Hold my sake

@@keiming2277 I wanted to say that

@@oscario9405 You are 9 months too late XD

It’s not that difficult tbh, you get used to it pretty quickly, as Tokyo is very very large and the lines spread out into the suburbs you only really need to know the local lines. Google maps is especially useful as they show u exactly what lines to take as well as the price in case ur interested. I’d recommend staying on one network if possible as transferring from one train company to the other would be more expensive than staying on a single one.

@Perichemorn Tiemtour ヅエンムス=square form of kana

@Perichemorn Tiemtour you had better tipe more 'a' 'i' 'u' 'e' 'o'. Joke

The 84 line are included with the railways. If that is the case they should of added Metro North and LIRR for the NYC Subways since they have transfer point to the subway and all run by one company, MTA.

HappyMations *cough*

HappyMations I do play Mini Metro but my lines aren't this convoluted

Come on I play mini metro

I wish I could survive long enough in the game to create such a complicated network... :(

Lollllll

That's still a crappy map.

Channel Is Going Through Unification they could of used the REAL ONE

Every place has different rules. You know the London Underground? It's 55% above ground. Then when you go to Tokyo, 10 of the 13 subways have through service to other mostly above ground lines. It should be noted however that the Namboku Subway Line continues straight onto the Saitama Subway Line. So why should London Underground's above stations count when Tokyo Metro's through service to another subway company doesn't count? Every place has different rules.

British rail hold my trains

Exactly, I have never seen that version of the map and I've lived here my entire life.

NYC has that too

Although some lines are express lines, they call themselves local trains.

maybe you are in love with trains like me? ;)

At the moment of upload it was a current map. Now here is +8 stations

METRO 2033:DDD

Yeah

But Moscow map on video isn't official. It's map from Ilya Birman and it's only was at the contest for the official map.

very old. Built about 30 metro stations

Because you will get a fine of yours late

goishikaigan mademou In this way of presenting the other networks, one should take the Transilien (800km) map for Paris, too.

No, Only Tokyo metro company and Toei subway company's maps is that! Real tokyo metro is comprise JR, Tokyo metro, Toei subway, Odakyu, Keio and other 14 companies!

This video is full of shit, isn't it? At 2:50, it's claimed that Tokyo subway is 23 percent the distance around the globe (4,715 km) and has 2,210 stations - or 15.5 times as long as in reality (304.1 km), having 285 stations. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway

Tao Yanbao Only National subway are comprise with 300km 13lines There are 4500km in Shutoken (首都圈 Greater Tokyo Metropolis) included private subways (JR Keio Odakyu Keisei Tobu Seibu and etc)

Tao Yanbao and also ONLY Municipal subways in seoul is comprised 10 lines 400km Sudogwon (수도권 Seoul-Capital area) are more than 1100km with 22lines (Incheon Metro, Airport metro, Korail, Uijeong-bu LRT and etc)

Oslo's map is also easy!

お前、頭悪すぎる。都市の大量輸送網という意味だから、JRなども当然含まれる。

Do you know the meaning of subway

Akimasa だけど、世界に大都市を「地上」で走り抜ける鉄道は少ない。だから別に他も入れていいんじゃないか？NYでは全然高架でもサブウェイって呼ぶぐらいだし

ほかの大都市は地下鉄がメインのイメージだからね。東京は地下鉄よりむしろ地上を走る路線の方が多い。大都市であんなに地上を電車が走りまくってる国もなかなかない。都市別の鉄道網として考えれば東京が圧倒的なのは間違いない。

海外で“電車”ていうと専ら都市間をつなぐ方になるからね 都市内を走るのは地下鉄か路面電車

My bad, I just realized that. But the scaled version on google earth is definitely up-to-date.

yea i find that on google earth just like you said, well they just developed too fast...

this also happens to shanghai. 2 new lines/40+ stations/100km came.

came on dec 20, 2017

don't complain, china is alway deserved a lower rating in western eyes.
