joshe2357: Moscow stations look like cathedrals. Trains every 90 seconds too.

NatePlays: Weirdest one I've ridden was Pyongyang. Old East Berlin trains.

wafflelurker19: No Seoul? I thought Tokyo was the gold standard until I rode Seoul.

RealWalrusOfficial: NYC in C is fair but it runs 24/7 with express tracks, most of these don't

throwaway61230: Tokyo is confusing the first day and perfect every day after
