LOL, Magic. Your forgetting the commuter rails that stop there. Its in the map. Also adding a new line and an extension.

Yes the map is real! Manhattan is a public transportation paradise! One subway line in NYC carries more riders per day than all of DC, Chicago and Boston's subway/el systems together. It's a beautiful sight to see when you are traveling through one tunnel but can see trains, stations and other tunnels running parallel.

BigCity,

My brother and I used to ride the G & F train all the time. I swear sometimes the trains were racing. You could see the other train very well because each line was separated only by steel support columns until on set of tracks started to veer away.

I loved watching that when i was little. Watching the other people in the other trains. Sticking my tongue out at people then looking away because i was scared to see what they would do.

Yea, it's pretty impressive! Some of the European/Asian systems are even more impressive! Check out how amazing the coverage is in Paris! Tokyo is amazing too .... How about the communist efficiency of Moscow?

Something looks so diabolical about the shape of Moscow's metro.

It's the perfect commie system!

I'm sure the United States' emergency target during the Cold War must have been somewhere within that circular subway line.
