The U.S. is big on cars for transportation and even in New York City, the subway system often lets customers down with long delays and rerouted trains. But elsewhere in the world, you’ll find cities with subway systems that always get you to your destination on time. Here are some of the best subways in the world.
1. Seoul
Seoul’s subway goes above and below ground — with some great city views. Some stations even display ancient Korean artifacts.
2. London
Dating back to 1863, the London Tube has 270 stations with trains operating through most of the expansive capital city.
3. Hong Kong
There are 1.5 billion annual riders on the Hong Kong subway. And, there’s free WiFi at every station.
4. Paris
Parisian Metro stations are beautifully decorated on the outside and run like clockwork on the inside with nearly 150 miles of tracks.
5. Beijing
The Beijing metro transit system is one of the busiest in the world, with 3.2 billion riders each year and 327 miles of tracks.
6. Moscow
Moscow’s stunning subway stations are entry points to a giant public transit system that serves around 9 million people daily.
7. Stockholm
It’s basically an entire subway system of art in Stockholm, with more than 150 artists’ work displayed across the 68 miles of lines.
8. Tokyo
Tokyo’s metro is the busiest in the world, 3.3 billion ride each year. That’s nearly 9 million a day, requiring official “pushers” to fit everyone inside.
9. Budapest
The first continental Euro city to build a metro, Budapest’s subway stations now boast prizes for architecture.
10. Singapore
Singapore’s subway is reliable, but also green. It’s energy-efficient and the quickest way around the city.
11. Copenhagen
With plenty of room for bikes, there’s no excuse for using a car in Copenhagen. The stations are clean and it’s a 24-hour service.
12. Berlin
Berlin’s subway is recognizable for its bright yellow trains covering 143 stations and 90 miles.
