collection of subway maps and their contributors
information for subway transit maps, world subways directions, metro information, and metro trains.
City subway maps
For more than 60
years, Rail Europe has been showing North
Americans what Europeans have known all along: the best way to
travel in europe is on the trains!

level station: its name: 'Emek'). ANKARAY opened a few months
ago; METRO almost completed, opening hopefully this year." -- 9

Antwerp (map thanks to Patrick
van Dijk; his comments follow)
The filled squares are stations in use, the partly filled
squares are inoperative stations.
You really have to compare this map to a normal map of Antwerp
for better insight of the locations (Stations 'Groenplaats' and
'Meir' are located in the very heart of the city, while 'Diamant'
is closest to the railway station).

change 103rd St./Watts to 103rd St./Kenneth Hahn; on the Green

St./Metro Center/Julian Dixon"; "Persing Square -> Pershing

The extension of Line 10 together wth the MetroSur loop provides
55 kilometers of additional tunnels. Counting "correspondence"
stations doubly (a reasonable reflection of complexity and labor;
these provide transfer to Cercanías [local trains] or to
Line 10), there are 36 elegant new stations equipped with
elevators, escalators, and a variety of safety features. Although
the trains for MetroSur are initially three cars long, the
station platforms are six cars long to allow for the inevitable
increase in ridership.
The 1999-2003 extensions in addition to those described can be
seen easily through the "Extensions map" link just above.

stations, three of which -- Parliament, Melbourne Central
(formerly called Museum), and Flagstaff are subway stations (the
other two loop stations, Spencer Street and Flinders Street are
above ground).")

subway system. The people of Zürich voted against the plan
of a subway system in Zürich (those three stops were already
built before the vote). The tramway drives usually on the right
side but it switches from the right side to the left side before
going underground because of the doors of the tramway which are
on the right side." )
