Metro photos from around the world

[TheRatmeister]

I figured I'd make a thread where I (or anyone else who wants to) can show off cool photos of various metro systems. I'll start with some cool tile/paint schemes from Berlin:

Franz-Neumann-Platz (U8)

Paracelsus-Bad (U8)

Jungfernheide (U7)

Paulsternstrasse (U7)

If there's a moral here it's that a cool tile pattern can do a lot for an otherwise boring station.

Love this idea! Pulled a few photos I posted in the Atlanta thread of MARTA. It's definitely a worn system, but many of the stations are very striking and beautiful (especially the exposed rock)!

I'll add a few from my international travels! Looking for photos I apparently don't make a habit of taking photos of the transit I ride, (though I seem to take plenty of the planes involved) but here's a couple that I could find:

Glasgow, and it's diminutive subway system, which hasn never expanded since it's opening in 1896, which makes it a year older than the GL.

Hong Kong, and its quasi subway railroad MTR East - they don't shy away from the cableways and industrial vibe.

I spent a few days in Madrid and apparently never took a single photo of the metro, but here's how you evacuate a broken Renfe AVE - via an incredibly steep little ramp.

Ditto for not taking photos of anything metro in Singapore- I blame the early stages of getting COVID - but this is the outdoor promanade covering one of their station entrances, containing one of the most spectacular TOD spaces I've ever been through - I'm told the entire thing is owned by the MTR, Singapore's metro. and apparently crosswalks that have card taps for the elderly so they have more time to cross the street.

The rest of my photos from Berlin:

Hackescher Markt (Stadtbahn)

Möckernbrücke (U1/U3)

Museumsinsel (U5)

Markisches Museum

Oskar Helene-Heim (U3)

Dahlem-Dorf (U3)

Stockholm- maybe the only metro in the world where you can do a legitimate art tour in the metro (deep stations too)!

Alright major photo dump incoming, I'm going to split this up by city, starting with some photos of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn

Probably the 'rarest' one I have (and also my favorite), I took a lot of pics in Kharkiv too, here are just some, mainly the ones that don't have people's faces since I wasn't able to take many photos during the wee hours like I did in Kyiv.

I took so many pictures in Stockholm, here are just some:

New Barangaroo Subway Station in Sydney. It just opened mid August 2024. Very clean! All trains are automated like the Montreal REM. (I think it's a very similar train design.)

 

[Java King]

Not a traditional Metro, but high platforms, electric trains, and frequent service to the Melbourne suburbs.

 

[Java King]

Modern Tram network in Sydney, Australia.

 

[Java King]

Melbourne Trams on St. Kilda Road, near our hotel. Service was VERY frequent and quite extensive.
