Very cool, really like the Russian subway in Moscow. Very nice plaster work. Madrid's Underground is also very nice, with its sleek new design (should set and example for Dublin's soon to be (hopefully) new subway system). Nothing can beat the good old London Tube though:)


I also purposefully picked this as it was top "11"...Platorm11? eh eh eh ? na....not really a good joke i guess...in fact probably the worst ever lol

no chance of Toronto being on the list - we don't like spending money on fixing missing ceiling tiles let alone art in the subway - Toronto's still an "Orange" town that way.

Mr. Dowling,

Haven't you now got something close to a guaranteed promise on the extension via York University out to Vaughan? That's got to be good news...

Yours,

Former York U student who had to get the shuttle bus too many times.

well...obviously one that works then:) although if they're going to build this metro, they should definatly build it for the intention that it will last and look good, also with minimal costs!

The subway from York U to nowhere? Pretty much everyone associated with transit says subway north of Steeles is a loser. Bit of a WRC really.

Did I mention the Ontario Minister of Finance represents the northern bit and that his family has a property development firm with ties to York and substantial activity in that area?
