Subways of the World

Sean points out this group of maps of subway systems from around the world, all apparently to the same scale (i.e., the actual routes covered by the trains, not those stylized maps you'll see in the subway stations). Interesting. Somehow, I had figured that New York was riddled with subway lines.

I suppose they could include Buffalo's subway, but it would basically be a single line bending very slightly from north to south. And it's not even a subway the entire way; in downtown, starting from the Theater District and going all the way down to HSBC Arena, it's an above-ground light-rail system.
