Is it just me or is it not much an issue over there to have such an erratic scheme with various termini? Around here people would go crazy. We have one working terminal station and there's constantly talk of closing it down to have just two neat crossings. It only hasn't been closed down because the system is utterly at capacity. I'm talking about the terminus that shows just one line (it also gets other non-commuter traffic obv). The other terminal station with the many lines ending there belongs to a different, metre-gauge system. Subway isn't shown.

1. There is a underground street between the two stations at Tenjin, which apparently prevented the green line's station from moving further north, 2.They're now constructing an extension of the green line to Hakata, expected to open in 2020, 3. According to random forum threads it seem like people believe Nishitetsu and/or shops in Tenjin applied political pressures onto the construction to make the project's first phase stop at Tenjin and away from existing subway station

>>1020788
Tenjin-Minami is connected to Tenjin, thus the Nanakuma Line is not disconnected from the others.

New stations of the green line were planned for the orange one, but as they are required for the FIFA World Championship, and with the state of orange line continuation(2 station out of 4 by 2019), they were assigned to the green one. So they are planning to build a transfer orange/green station and continue orange line to the north-west. The green-purple one as well as the orange/green one should ease the center stations somewhat. This is also the sole reason behind the first part of brown line. It should go to the north-east someday, but obviously not soon. The line between red and orange lines was there in previous plans, but now it seems a bigger ring line took some of it. The purple parts of this pic are being built right now, so they would be done by 2019, but everything green probably wouldn't be done even in 50 years.

I don't like how it looks but damn it's so useful.
The northern line should really be 2 separate lines, the Waterloo and City line should be a separate thing since it has its own fares and ticket gates so it's outside the system really, the Hammersmith & City line shouldn't exist since it runs on the same rails as those the District and Circle lines run, etc.

>>1021510

It's out of date, but I like it a lot better than the current one - it shows where things are geographically more, there are a lot of walking transfers with stations a block away (or a parking lot away) from each other but the current map shows them as not being anywhere close. There are also bus routes that aren't labeled - two of them go to the same stop and then split again but it doesn't tell you which is which. It was designed by someone who has never been to Boston, and you can tell.

>>1022392
Because the area Line 3 serves has nowhere near the ridership to justify a Subway extension. The City and many outside sources have doen studies showing that the ridership isn't there at won't be there in 30 years. That however didn't stop the goofs on council from pushing through a $4 Billion extension of Line 2 simply because people didn't like to transfer at Kennedy and because "Scarborough deserves a Subway" because apparently you can be entitled to this stuff. The extension will have only 1 stop at Scarborough Centre which is 5km from Kennedy. Then of course this extension also eats up all the money that would have been used to bring an LRT to eastern Scarborough (i.e one of the poorest area in the City). Essentially Scarborough gave up 3 LRT lines for a 1 stop subway extension.

>>1022490
>>1022353
But why don't simply let metro train run onto LRT track like Kyoto?

>>1022662
Because the systems use two completly different track gauges different rolling stock sizes, and propulsion systems. Line 3's rolling stock is made up of 40' cars which means it has a tighter turn radius since TTC Subway cars are 75'. The line also uses standard gauge whereas the rest of the Subway use TTC's custom gauge. Finally Line 3 uses LIM as its method of propulsion while the rest of the Subway uses standard 3rd rail motors.

The reason for the huge differences is because Line 3 uses Bombardier Movia trains like what are used in Vancouver and many other cities. Line 3 when it was built was forced on to the city by the province since they needed a place to show off the new technology since they developed it. So what we have is an orphaned system that is completely incompatible with the rest of the TTC's Subway/Streetcar system.

That was considered but the idea was dropped mainly because it would require Line 3 to be closed for "x" number of years while the line is converted, this is literally why the original LRT conversion plan was dropped since it would have shut the line down for 5 years. Any plans for a Subway to the Scarborough Town Centre would need to ensure that service on Line 3 is uninterrupted over the course of construction.

If Regional Rail was operated as anything more than a peak-hour commuter shuttle from the suburbs to the city and back, then making the lines more prominent and detailed would be important.

There was a joke that went for the last 15 years or so that "In London, they put the Underground map on mugs and posters. In Warsaw, they put it on ball point pens."

The second line is under construction (although its route is kinda shitty) with the central part already open. We also have a lot of tramways with new ones being built pretty much every year. This is the current rail transport map, although I wouldn't call it aesthetic.

Not really. At least not for now. There has been talks about extending line A a bit after Farum. And the regional railway north to Helsingor (kystbanen/oresundstoget) will get a "S-train-like" signal system.

Further, there is desparate need for extending the capacity between KBH H and Osterport, as the track already sees up to 30 trains an hour now.

The next time we get new trains (likely startin in the mid 2020's), they will be driverless and run in a metro-like pattern. This would increase the overall capacity quite a lot.

Finally, a light rail/tram from Ishoj to Lyngby is scheduled to open in 2023 (pic related)

While not a metro, Karlsruhe's tram and light rail map underwent several changes over the last 10 years, going from angular lines in 2008 over slighty rounded corners to a full curvy design introduced last year.
By 2010, the stations became circles, around 2013 they shortly experimented with showing express stops with a blue dot inside the station. while black dots as stops with limited service survived a bit longer.

Construction-wise, two lines to Germersheim were electrified and sorted as light (S51/S52) and commuter (S33) rail. A new tram line (6) in the south-east Karlsruhe was opened.
And for the construction of the underground tram (might open 2019-ish), each of the three north-south lines was affected for a while, which moved a few lines around each time. Not shown is the closure of parts of the east-west line during half of 2013 and countless short-time detours over a weekend or during vacations, each of which had their own map made though, but those would be too much to put into one webm.
For next year the biggest change will be renaming all the southern lines to S7/S8, the map for which was just published today.

It's getting a second ring "so called third interchange corridoe (?)", with some auxiliary tangential lines.

A Russian person on 1chan explained me why it is third interchange corridor, but I'm not really sure if it's the reason that mostly between the first and the second metro rings there is this recently passenger train ring that also appears on metro maps, but he also said something along the lines that the first interchange corridor is the large cluster of transfer stations inside the existing ring line, so the ring line itself is the second interchange corridor.

Yes, the "first interchange contour" are all the transfers inside the brown circle line, and the "second interchange contour" is the circle line itself. Although these "contours" are merely some stupid official designation that nobody in real life uses or has ever heard of.

The recently-launched light rail ring (the "Moscow central circle" - another stupid name because it's hardly central) and the under-construction "third interchange contour" are two larger intersecting rings around the circle line (pic related). Hopefully they'll give them better names in the future, because it can be really confusing to have a ring displaced to the north being called "central" and another ring being called "third contour" without having a first and second "contours" named on the map.

That one doesn't show the Cleveland Circle / Reservoir / Chestnut Hill Ave connection or the Back Bay / Copley one. Also, the 57 bus has a stop at Packards Corner, but the map shows it as splitting off at Babcock, the bus colors aren't lined up with anything in the legend and some of them look exactly the same as the commuter rail lines, and it doesn't distinguish between the Silver Line 4 and 5 or show which direction they're going downtown which makes it useless.

For what it's worth, most of the things you circled aren't dense at all, and probably don't deserve rapid transit. The only one that does is the circle with "Vancouver" in it, and a line there is currently in the planning stages.

In fact, a lot of your circles are farmland or industrial parks.

And I don't really think we can compare any North American cities with German cities when it comes to transit. They're just on a whole other level.

It's a bit sad considering what they had and how quickly it got sacked. They had like 100 new Düwag cars less than decade old that got sold to Alexandria.

>>1028569
At least the bus system they replaced it with actually worked. Maybe except the 5a which even with buses leaving every minute or so is ridiculously overcrowded.

And the danes are way too design-oriented to ever reintroduce a system with overhead wires in the denser neighbourhoods. On the plus side they started testing charged-at-terminal electric busses on the 3a.

Yeah for sure, I was just a little surprised cause after the extension (that's pictured on the map) opens in 2 weeks it'll be the 6th longest system in North America.

I didn't mean to sound like a butthurt homer or anything, cause we definitely still have a lot of work to do. The fact that our tax referendums are failing while Seattle and LA are passing second and third ones is not helping.

A lot of politics. Vancouver being the central city, there is a (false) widespread belief that it receives more than its fare share of transit service, so any rapid transit extensions within the city itself are controversial, which is why you see the suburbs with such good service.

Another factor with politics is that our provincial government has the ultimate authority in project prioritization, since they control much of the funding. As such, the electoral ridings (what are called districts in the US) that support the party in power at any given time are often the areas that will get the lines, regardless of how much they deserve them. An example of this is the yellow line, which goes from nowhere to nowhere and travels over a highway and industrial areas. While it'll be important after it gets extended both west and east to actual important places, it was built first because it served the right party at that period of rapid transit expansion

>>1028600
Literally the same story here in Toronto except our shit show occurs on the Municipal level. Any talk of expanding the Subway network in the Downtown core has the Suburban Councillors hootan and hollering about how they are being ignored. The irony here is that the last Subway stop built in the Downtown core was in the 60's. Every expansion since has been in the suburbs.

>>1028602
Yeah as a Canadian transit nerd I've been following Toronto closely, and from the outside it just seems insane what's going on. The Yonge Line is out of control and a downtown relief line is obviously needed, but apparently extensions to fucking Vaughan entirely underground are more important.

It's the same here. The Canada Line was only built to have a line connecting to the airport for the Olympics. If it wasn't for the Olympics, Vancouver would still only have that bit of SkyTrain in the its northeast corner, as extensions to even further suburbs would have been built. Broadway buses carry a collective 100,000 people a day, and yet 3rd ring suburbs are bitching that they deserve SkyTrain expansion before Van, because Van already has good bus service. How do these people not realize that density, built form and actually having regional destinations causes this, not a central city bias.

>>1029022
This is common for post-soviet countries. Therefore Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus. IMHO it's very confusing.
But what is even more confusing is IMHO naming the surface transport stops in a way like "Metro...blablabla". You can see that in Warsaw or Moscow. If you are looking for a connection in timetables you have to go through several tram and bus stops all beginning with the word Metro.

>>1029022
Toronto has one instance where this occurs. At Bloor-Yonge station. While maps show the station as the name I mentioned, none of the platforms do. The upper platform is Bloor and the lower platform is Yonge. This also somewhat carries over to the rolling stock as well. The new trains on Line 1 say the stations full name, but the trains on Line 2 don't and only say "Yonge Station" since they stop on the lower platform. This will obviously change when the old rolling stock is retired but the names on the platform walls won't since those are literally sandblasted in.

This can potentially happen again with the Eglinton Crosstown opening since the interchange Eglinton West is to be renamed Cedarvale. I am not sure if the TTC will go through and replace all the signs with the name or if it will just be the LRT platform with the name Cedarvale Station while the Subway platform retains Eglinton West Station.

>>1029053

>>1028952
Where is that?

>>1029022
Here in Germany, stations are often named or announced differently depending on your mode of transportation. For example, a train station in my city is called "Brackwede", while the corresponding bus/tram stop is called "Brackwede Bahnhof" and the long-distance bus stop is called "Bielefeld-Brackwede". It can get confusing, but most of the time the naming scheme is self-explanatory.

There is also the issue of train stations and cities bearing different names depending on the date of incorporation. Take for example the train station "Burgdorf (Han.)". The (Han.) still stands for the Kingdom of Hannover and the corresponding railway company, which have not been in existence for more than 70 years. Online journey planners list the station as "Bahnhof, Burgdorf (Kreis Hannover)", even though the Landkreis (district) Hannover stopped existing in 2001. Whenever you search for Burgdorf, you get a fuckton of results for a town of the same name close to Bern in Switzerland.

Cologne has a bunch of stacked stations where crosstown and belt routes intersect. The crosstown platforms are all named xyz/Gürtel (for belt), so that passengers know they can change to the belt line from there. The platforms on the belt itself are only announced by the short station name, because otherwise you would hear "Gürtel" at every single stop.

>There is also the issue of train stations and cities bearing different names depending on the date of incorporation.
I can tell another story like that:
Wilferdingen and Singen are two villages that have existed since the 7th century.
1859, a railway line opened, with a station located between the two villages, named after both as Wilferdingen-Singen.
1973 came the german municipality reforms, which merged the two villages into one town to save administation costs. So none would feel "taken over", the name Remchingen was chosen for the new town (which was the name of a long abandoned village nearby). The town asked the then-federal german railway DB to change the station name to Remchingen too, but as they would have had to foot the bill for the renaming, they kept the old name.
1997 a tram-train line from the nearby city of Karlsruhe was opened using the exisiting rails. The AVG, the company operating these tram-trains, however decided to respect the wish of the town.

The result is that in the AVG tram-trains the station is announced as Remchingen, while in the DB regional trains the name Wilferdingen-Singen is used for the same station.
The AVG even rebuild parts of one platform to reduce the walking distance to connecting busses, signs on their platform say Remchingen, with Wilferdingen-Singen as a subtitle (pic), while the signs on DB's platforms use the name Wilferdingen-Singen.

Recently, the AVG seems to have given up this fight though, >>1025594 also shows the development. The station is in the lower right corner on the S5/R5 lines. Originally it only said Remchingen, then changed to Remchingen/Wilferdingen-Singen (on some maps even with S and R logos) and this year changed to Wilferdingen-Singen only.

Who needs trains when you can have bus many bus lines competing for the same business. I can count atleast 5 different bus lines that service my area.

Well, it kind of makes sense in Warsaw since until 2015 there was only one Metro line and it acted as the pillar of the entire public transportation system. If you want to move on the N-S axis on the western bank of the Vistula, you're most likely gonna want to ride the Metro at some point in your journey, thus the nearest bus/tram stops are named "Metro something". That way you can easily see which bus/tram will take you to a Metro station.

I don't think they're doing that for the second line though.

Like for some reason, in Pyongyang's metro system, there are only two lines and one interchange station. The interchange station is named Jonu on one line but Chonsung on the other

Sydney, Australia and the now partially truncated Newcastle rail lines. It's metro fares over this whole network—you can travel anywhere for $9 max.

>>1030271
No, it doesn't make sense and it's very confusing especially in searching for connection. The names of stops and stations of the city public transportation system should be unified. If you get out from metro on station Politechnika, then you continue with tram from tram stop Politechnika, not Metro Politechnika. Who doesn't know that will never find a connection in timetables.

>>1027442
>Although these "contours" are merely some stupid official designation that nobody in real life uses or has ever heard of.
It's usually called "кoльцeвaя"(beltway) or "кoльцo"(ring).
The third contour probably would be called "втopoe кoльцo"(the second ring).

>>1030360
>Who doesn't know that will never find a connection in timetables.
I cannot understand what you mean by that at all. How is a stop "Metro Politechnika" any different from naming a stop "Politechnika" and adding a little glyph next to it to signify that there's a Metro station there? It would only make a difference if there was some sort of a book containing timetables of all stops sorted in the alphabetical order.

If I get out from the Metro on Politechnika station and go to the tram stop, the name of the stop doesn't matter to me because I'm already there and can read the timetables of all the lines going through that stop posted on a board that stands there.

If I'm not at the Politechnika station/Metro Politechnika stop yet, then either:
A) I have access to the timetables on an electronic device and I can simply Ctrl+F "Politechnika" to find the timetable for the tram stop Metro Politechnika.
B) I have no access to the timetables at all, because there isn't a paper book of timetables - they only exist on the boards on the stops themselves and on the Internet. Therefore, the name of the stop doesn't matter to me because I can't use it anyways.

As I said, it's practical in a city where Metro stations are sparse and almost all of them are transfer hubs. I guess it's confusing in Moscow, because I can imagine half of all the bus stops in that city being named "Metro something".

>>1030483
> some sort of a book containing timetables of all stops sorted in the alphabetical order.

obviously
try searching for connection online, you enter station of departure and station of arrival...hmmm...let me think....I want to get on tram at Zadupie...oh no, I can't find any stop named Zadupie, how is that possible?...oh I remember, there's actually a metro station there so I have to enter "Metro" first...*drop down menu window appears*....oh damn, there's like hundred stops all begining with Metro. Thanks, municipality gubmint.

Oh no, a bunch of stops appeared, poor me! What can I do? I could attempt to write a couple more letters to narrow down the results but if I'll foolishly do that, I'll only see... exactly what I was looking for! Amazing!

Seriously, you're looking for problems where there aren't any. I'd agree if the only way to look for a stop was an alphabetically sorted drop-down menu with no way to narrow it down, but thankfully that's not the fucking case. The addition of "Metro" to the names of the stops has actual advantages (because it helps you find buses/trams that will take you to a Metro station way faster), while the disadvantages you are speaking of are negligible, so it makes sense to do so.

Or at least it made sense before they opened Line 2 which uses the "Metro" prefix completely at random.

Hey the mall is only 5 stops away from Union with a transfer station. Not bad for a fag like me going to photograph the march in January.

On a side note does anybody here have any experience with the VRE? Was going to take it out of one of the further stations since I have a car that cannot necessarily go long distances.

What's the difference? Not him, but here in Ontario we have both "Via Rail" the federally owned rail service which covers the whole country and "GO (government of Ontario) Transit" which only covers the Greater Toronto Area.

I'm assuming your definition of commuter rail would be like our GO transit, and inter city would be like Via Rail?

Does this sound right?

Map is Go transit

This is the Via rail network. It only really connects the capitals of each province and a couple bigger cities

I live in Vancouver but I'm familiar with GO and obviously VIA.

Yes, GO is commuter rail, because it takes you from the central city (Toronto) to distant exurbs (Milton).

VIA is intercity, because it takes you from Toronto to other full fledged cities, like London or Ottawa, and even Vancouver!

>>1030812
Toronto to Vancouver via takes over 4 days and a sleeper birth is $1600

>>1030826
Oh yeah, that's another specific trait of Moscow and other post-soviet metro systems. Apart from naming transfer stations with more different names for each line and naming surface transportation stops with "Metro...". Lots of metro stations are named with adjectives which makes them ending with -skaya or with some random names that have no connection to area where they are. Like (I make this up) "Station of October revolution". Seriously, what were commies thinking when they introduced this style.

>>1028902
best tier, around 300 feet there is a station even in the outskirts.

>>1030837
In toronto stations are named after the street, intersection, or well known neighbourhood

>>1030814
It's obviously not feasible as a common transportation choice, but I just brought it up to help distinguish them. Intercity trains are meant to go to cities you would also fly to.

But yeah, it's a train trip I dream about doing one day too.

>>1030815
SkyTrain's awesome. If I had to guess, it's probably 60% elevated, 30% underground and like 10% at-grade. It's all 100% grade separated though.

The frequencies are crazy good, peak hour on the Expo Line is every 108 seconds. And it's fast. Not much more you can ask for from a rapid transit system really.

I'm actually going to Toronto for the first time next Tuesday and I'm super stoked to try out the subway, the streetcars, GO and even York's BRT line.

>>1030860
>the streetcars

Streetcars are my favourite part of the city. Subway here is meme tier but it covers a lot of ground, and GO transit is quality imo. I live 30min west of the city on the lake shore line and trains operate every 10min during rush hour and every 30min in off hour until 12:43 am

GO buses operate every hour until like 2:30am out of downtown.

Streetcars are key. Definitely ride the Spadina car out of Union Station to Spadina Station, it uses the new Bombardier cars. Also the St.Clair streetcar further north is cool because every stop has plaques with a history of the area. Also go to the distillery district East of downtown; there's a Christmas market there rn and it legit looks line Germany. The 516 street car goes there too.

Hmu, [email protected]

>>1030868
I'm actually a streetcar "skepticist" if that's a word so I wasn't planning on riding them around too much. The 516 was the one I was gonna check out, cause I was planning to see the Distillery District and I'm staying at a hotel on King Street so it'd be perfect. Might check out some other ones though if I like it!

>>1030871
Most of the 516 is in mixed traffic, the 510 Spadina has it's own row so does the st Clair car so the ride is p nice

It runs at ground level, but doesn't cross any streets and is fully fenced off along the entirety of that length. This really just happens when it has to run through empty fields (such as at the airport) or along old rail corridors
