For a quick visual comparison of a few of the world’s major subway systems, I’d suggest looking no further than this page. With each subway system presented on the same scale, it’s a quick and interesting look at just how…aenemic…a subway system Toronto has.
Now if you really want to blow your mind, take a look at Tokyo’s subway/LRT system. Does the phrase slack-jawed mean anything?
Actually, considering it’s drawn to scale, and missing one of it’s subway lines, the Toronto system, although lacking in complexity, does cover a large area.
I’d like to point out that Atlanta with its population of 416K has a system that rivals ours…
That’s hardly something to be proud of.
