The metro in Bilbao, Spain is quite impressive considering the city's poppulation is about 350,000.

I think it still considered the most modern metro system in the world. Opened in 1999, if I remember right.











And a sleek tram



One very sexy transportation system

I'd like to add to this thread of transit systems better than the TTC.

Gdansk, Poland



















Tube Construction

^Looking quite good.

Seems like most large ciites and even small in the EU are expanding there transit systems (Madrid, London, Gdansk, Bilbao, Paris and so on)

I remember reading in The Star last week that Madrid has opened more km of metro lines in the last 15 years than we have all together.

btw. this might interest some of you ..

what "once" was... Toronto sometimes really is a tragedy when you think about it .. a city with so much potential, but lacking a true vision in its leadership ..

TRANSIT TORONTO SUBWAY PAGES Feature Photo: This photograph by Michael Proulx shows his work of art, Arc en Ciel, in the hey day of its operation. The art installation, which opened atop Yorkdale station with the rest of the Spadina subway, was not properly maintained and eventually dismantled at the artist's request -- a symbol of the decay that has set into the system due to funding problems and deferred maintenance. More of Michael Proulx's photographs, along with a history of art on the TTC, can be found here. With the TTC considering makeovers of other subway stations, one hopes that they come with a maintenance contract that keeps these installations in the condition they were installed in. http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/index.shtml

Yeah, cuz they liked Prague's so much, they fcuked the Czechs, stole theirs during the occupations, and brought them to Moscow. The Russians gave the Czechs their old shitty subway cars. Look it up, it's true.

Madrid's was awesome... Beer vending machines EVERYWHERE!

...and Japanese subway chick groping FTW!
