…apparently London’s, but this is a list compiled by Virgin, a British company, so go figure. Anyone who has ever spent more than two seconds in London’s tube during rush hour must question their sanity.
Don’t get me wrong, I think London has a great and extensive subway system but during rush hour it is a nightmare – packed and no air-con. Plus, it costs 4GBP (about $8) for a single ride, unless you buy an Oyster Card, their version of a pass which is well-worth it but still very expensive.
Anyway, here is Virgin’s Top 11 Underground Transit Systems in the World:
- London
- Paris
- Moscow
- Madrid
- Tokyo
- Seoul
- New York
- Montreal
- Beijing
- Hong-Kong
- Sao Paulo, Brazil
Out of all of these, my vote goes to the Paris and Hong-Kong subway systems. New York’s is relatively cheap ($2) and easy to navigate, but geez, it looks, smells and operates like something from a third world country!
