The Tokyo one is slightly misleading - there are various different companies that run their own subway lines in Tokyo; Tokyo Metro is just one of them. Including other companies, Tokyo has 24 main metro-style lines and offers numerous other services on top of this
Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway JR East (Yamanote Line, Chuo-Sobu Line, etc), Keisei, Keikyu etc "metro" means "metropolitan railway". Its not equal to "subway".
@@vinogs651 nope. Tokyo Metro is a company (By the way, Paris Metro means metropolitan railway too because the"metro" word is the short form of "chemin de fer metropolitain", that means "metropolitan railway")
@@vinogs651 Tokyo metro is one of the transportation company that operate within the Tokyo metropolitan area. If they refer Tokyo metro as what you said, then Tokyu, Tobu, Seibu, Keio, Toei, JR East, and other private rapid rail way lines would be included into Tokyo Metro which in this case, it isn't. Although many lines in Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway does through services to other private railway lines.
Thanks Timosha for having RapidKL Sri Petaling-Ampang (SPAG) LRT Line as the video thumbnail! :D Although, besides the SPAG Line, there is also the Kelana Jaya LRT Line (the busiest line in Kuala Lumpur), the KL Monorail, and the recent Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line (opened in 2016). All of them operated by RapidKL.
Actually u may consider the KTM kommutet as well which serves part of the KL city and its outskirt. Coming up is MRT2 Sg Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya. And the LRT3 line coming soon. Here in kL the functions of LRT and MRT is considered the same now. Unlike in some country their LRT is just small scale like that of KLIA Aerotrain.
The Seoul Metro is way bigger than you think. The lines 1-9 are just the ones that go through Bucheon, downtown Seoul, and more little cities scattered throughout the outskirts of Seoul. As of 2020, there are around 24 lines. With around 750 stations. They build more lines like the Gimpo Goldline which opened last year connecting the suburb city of Gimpo to Gimpo Intl Airport. I understand this was made in May 2019, but there were still around 22 lines at that time. The other lines are run by other private companies and other cities like the Incheon Transit Corporation and the Gimpo Government.
Tokyo has multiple companies running the metro and there’s other 800 stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area. And over 20 million people use it everyday
Yes, MRT Jakarta was just launched for public in last couple months ago. *But probably you need to reconsider Jakarta/ Greater Jakarta commuter trains/KRL (Electrified Rail Train), its just the local naming while the cars of the trains are exact same as in Japan where they are imported from. We call it a commuter train, similar to those who call theirs as a metro,mrt,lrt,etc. The headway serving Jakarta circle can be 5-10 minutes in rush hours, so its quite a rapid system. Its been established officially since 2008, spanding 480km/260miles long at grade rail tracks and speeds from 40-90kmph. Within 6 distinct lines, KRL serves daily riderships up to 1 mills/day* Not to mention, Palembang City of South Sumatera also has this LRT which serve 23km up-graded rail tracks that you may need to check out too, est since July/August 2018. The upcoming Jakarta LRT will be lauched very soon since its trial run. Look forward to get your acknowledgement and review.
Major misses - Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Gurgaon, Noida, Jaipur, Nagpur, Chongqing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Sendai, and a lot more Great video but the absence of most Indian cities made me a bit sad
1:40 if you are a Canadian and live in Toronto you should recognize this type of subway car we always love the H6. They retired in 2014, however other countries still use them.
Delhi Metro is the best. I've been to other countries as well across Europe and Asia but there is something about Delhi metro. Funny thing is when I tried to check on Google why it is so good it was quite surprising that it actually is the best metro in the world.
Thanks timosha for including Delhi, Bangalore and Kolkata metro systems from India, there are also some others you would like for example:- 1. Hyderabad 2. Chennai 3. Nagpur 4. Pune 5. Mumbai 6. Jaipur 7. Kochi 8. Lucknow 9. Noida 10. Gurgaon As of now 24 cities have operational metro systems and that number is only growing so watch this space as India is expected to have 40 metro systems in the future.
1.) Hong Kong MTR newer Chinese and Korean trains and the first trains were made in the United Kingdom by Alstom Metro Cammell. Had ridden one of those Hung Hom to Shenzhen Lo Wu Station and Tsuen Wan to Sham Shui Po. 2.) Manila MRT written on it numerous times as a child and got extended to my childhood home in Rizal Province line 2.
Going from Guangzhou to Hong Kong and missing Shenzhen is a major mistake. The Shenzhen Metro is over 303 km and has 6.6 million riders daily. By 2030 it will be 1142 km in length. It is a relatively new system with beautiful clean stations and fast trains.
America is the most advanced country when we talk about the economy, movies, Hollywood, marvel, but why they don't have any proper station and metro system?, sometimes it's scary for me to use it
This tells me: -North America: Could be much better however he missed systems in Santo Domigno, Panama City and Vancouver. -Europe: We are doing great, since there isn’t many cities over 2 mil without metro or light rail that is basically metro, just with light rail trains (for example Porto, Seville, a shit ton of cities in Germany...) Asia: - A lot of systems, sadly he forgot way too much off them (a lot of them in India, China and Japan). However there are still a lot of big cities without metro (much more than in Europe). But good job keep it up 👍.
Here's a list of all cities in China with an operating metro system as of today, so you'll have an idea how long this video would be if all are included (Cities with * are in the video) Beijing*, Changchun, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Dongguan, Foshan, Fuzhou, Guangzhou*, Guiyang, Hangzhou, Harbin, Hefei, Hong Kong*, Jinan, Kunming, Nanchang, Nanjing, Nanning, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shanghai*, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Shijiazhuang, Suzhou, Tianjin, Urumqi, Wenzhou, Wuhan, Wuxi, Xi'an, Xiamen, Zhengzhou 6 new metros opening later this year: Changzhou, Guang'an, Hohhot, Lanzhou, Macau, Xuzhou And 7 more metros opening in 2020-2022
Italy has 7 metros, France, Germany and Spain have each 6 metro systems so... the answer is clearly no. Nearly all European countries have one or more metro systems. I count at least 61 metro systems in Europe. No need to add North America to beat China by a lot.
@@paname514Ty for telling me that. I totally did underestimate the number of metros in Europe, but 30+ metros in China is still pretty impressive imo, which was my point.
@@flip1sba That's true. But the name "Tokyo Metro" is a company running 9 subway lines. Toei Subway runs another 4 subway lines and they're operated by Tokyo-to Government.
It is difficult to estimate the ridership of Tokyo Metro or Toei because of through-services that they offer. You can have a person start their journey at a Tokyo Metro stations and end up in Tokyu stations, etc.
@@aaronjeung2210 Yeah I am also bummed out. I was supposed to go to one of the events but Tokyo Olympic got postponed and my trip back home for 1 month was cancelled. But yes Tokyo Metro stations are not only clean and modern, it is more interesting because you can see train cars from other operators.
Tashkent had the best ordained and visually stunning station....and that goes for the European side of Russia..and their metro stations. But, no matter the aesthetics, every city should have mass public transit, including a good bus system..!! It is super important, as so many cannot drive, afford to drive, and many many more reasons.!!!
Seoul is also quite misleading. Technically there are 19 lines but I say there are 21 lines. People only include the Seoul Metro lines but there are many lines that operate within the city. I also include the Incheon lines because they are accessable through the Seoul Metro.
Kind of liked all the subway systems My opinions Most Dilapidated, Kolkata Most Weird looking rolling stocks, Manila & Izmir Most Intresting, Mecca (Due to it only open during holy week) Most Rapid & Populated, Hong Kong Most Modern, either Busan or a few others Most Dangerous Rolling Stock, Tbilisi (Due to excessive shaking, etc... (Probably due to old USSR aged rolling stocks)) Most Modern Rolling Stock, Almaty (Manufactured by Hyundai) Favorite... TBD later Forgot Kyoto, liked it so much 1 question, why do Indian metros (Bangalore & New Dehli) look so modern but the cities are dilapidated? (Anyone reply) Also, why does Pyongyang's metro need Kim-Jong-Un's approved crappy music for sake of propaganda?
Because metros in Delhi were and are PPP projects( public-private partnership) Private investors keeps their properties well maintained than government counterparts in every part of india. Thus, the area government controls is a mess and property controlled by private investors are well maintained to global standards.
Hi Timosha21, when will there be an episode about Sarajevo to which you will insert the frames from my channel? Best wishes and welcome to me on the trolleybuses from Tychy (PL).
You forgot many Indian metro systems! For example the ones in Mumbai, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Hyderabad. But fair enough you also didn`t include many Chinese systems as well I guess.
Wrong information about Bangkok-Thailand. In 2018 , Bangkok has 5 lines 1. Light green line 37 km. was opened 1999 2. Dark green line 15 km. was opened 1999 3. Blue line 21 km. was opened 2004 4. Airport link 29 km. was opened 2010 5. Purple line 23 km. was opened 2016 total 125 km
@Hairizal Dahrin I have airport link in my list because 1.It was designed as a part of metro system. 2.There are 2 lines in the airport link 1) express line that stop some stations 2) city line that stop every stations (use as metro system).
The Malaysian metro is kinda incomplete, other than the LRT (not LRV), there's also the MRT, KTM Komuter and not to mention, KLIA Express and KLIA Transit.
I live in Dubai in 3 years, and i know something about it. The Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE uses trains that are driverless and there are only computers at each end of the train that announces where station the train is departing to. Where the southbound is, the other computer in the north speaks, and where northbound is, the computer in the sound speaks. Dude, you showed the wrong system at the Manila section of the video. It's LRT not MRT.
As for Manila, The LRT-2 is better off shown than The MRT-3 as it is a heavy rail full metro system and not light rail unlike MRT-3. In fact The MRT-3 is the worst among Manila’s rapid transit lines.
Good to know! I grew up in Pasig and then left the Philippines as a child. I know how horrible MRT-3 is and that has come to be what I know as Manila's train system. I never got the chance to ride LRT-1 or LRT-2.
