Name as many Metro systems as you can from this image:

The numbering system will be as follows:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13
14-15-etc...

My money is on Van to win this.

Oh, BTW I don't have an answer key, so feel free to make things up and hope no one else catches you. ;)
 
6 - MARTA, Atlanta
17 - our MBTA
29 - CTA, Chicago
35 - DART, Dallas? or is that 39?
72, 73, 74 all look like London Underground symbols. I can't read the writing on them.
88 - Minneapolis/St. Paul; one of several other systems with a T-circle symbol
97 - New Jersey Transit
99 - NYC MTA
100 - PATH (Port Authority of NY/NJ)
104 - Stockholm; one of several other systems with a T-circle symbol
107 - Paris RER system
111 - Pittsburgh; one of several other systems with a T-circle symbol
127 - BART, San Francisco Bay regional system
128 - Muni, San Francisco city streetcar, buses, cable cars

(next time, please don't use 13 as the length of a row!)
 
There's actually a website you can visit to figure out how many transit systems you've ever used:

http://metro.b3co.com/

My transit riding history puts me on 20 of them.
 
66-Romulan/Klingon Cooperative Pathway
95- Hooters Underground
105- Lucille Ballway
109- Reduced fair pass for Red Line perverts
127- Brockton Area Transit Authority
 
I suppose I should post the source, eh?

And Mr. Jug, if you are not going to take this quiz seriously, I suggest you remain quiet please.

Edit: Oh hey, look! There is answer key.

Oh well, feel free to play along anyway.
 
I have been on 41 of these systems.

By the way, an EXCELLENT book is "Transit Maps of the World" that claims to have a transit map of EVERY metro on the planet. I picked it up at a bookstore in Harvard Square and it's worth every penny of its $25.00 price.
 
75 is los angeles ...
it would appear that they're in alphabetical order?
 
I've been on 15. At age 22, that's not bad. Could be better, but not bad.

*edit* interesting site with maps and info on many rapid transit systems worldwide:

^^ Plus it would have mixed up the alphabet order. :rolleyes:
 
"Answer key" graphic is not the same as yours. It has 16 logos per row, and 10.5 rows.
 
Oy. Is it too late to delete this thread in its entirety? It seemed like a good idea at the time. :eek:
 
It's not a bad idea, but counting by 13s is hard (my memorized times tables only go up to 12), and the answer key is hard to reconcile to the puzzle.

Good answers. I don't think 104 is correct for Stockholm. The T is too thin. Stockholm's T looks just like Boston's. In fact, Boston was "inspired" by the Stockholm symbol. The only thing I'd add is that 12 is Beijing and 33 is Copenhagen's suburban rail. I really suck at this.
