falling asleep on that metro could cause serious problems
TheNougathorn how
afghan broo if they wake you up at the last stop, that might be on the other end of the world...
Not really each stop would hours away from reach other
You are supposed to sleep on that bullet train metro it takes days to reach destinations
As you reach international borders, such as the border between Poland and Belarus or Russia and DPR Korea, border officials will wake you and will quite happily make sure you are off the train if you don't have documents. On Russian Railways trains, the Hostess onboard will remind you of this as well.
This train are all stationed in one nation...
The imagi-nation
Sorry...
Fantasti ahhahahah
Underated comment.
Do u hve no dignity
Trackside Films the door's right there ------> 🚪
😂😂😂, ya fanny.
Earthquake: Im gonna ruin this worlds career
oooooooOOOOOOOOOOOF
Especially in Chile
@@grapes4315 and Indonesia
If there was a world metro system? I would never have to beg and talk my dad into going to Rome.
ROMA
Your map of the world's existing rail lines is incomplete. China is missing at least 80% of its current railway lines and Australia is missing a rather significant line. There's a rail line from Adelaide to Darwin (runs vertically up the middle of Australia) so I can only assume bulk other rail lines are missing elsewhere as well.
Yeah maybe. But what about China and the new silk road.
SantomPh just did an assignment on the fuckin Ghan
+Anthony Binetti do you mean you did an assignment about the Ghan, or you did an assignment while you were on the Ghan?
0:43 Imagine if all the time, lives, and resources spent on all the wars humans ever fought were used for good, something like this would be no big deal to build something like this would be no big deal to build.
No, this would still be an extremely lofty project.
@SuperYoshiFan10090 Studios There will always be patriotic people, the world will never be fully peacefuly united
@SuperYoshiFan10090 Studios I think that if we were to meet an advanced alien species the world wouldn't fully unify, but something like the UN would be formed, until then some countries like North Korea may still exist, and there are many nations with a strong sense of patriotism.
Thats why planes exist , and guess what , they can take you to St. Petesburg!
Lourenço Vieira I think its St. PeteRsburg
Saruke // Mizuke Sorry , in Portugal we dont prounouce the "r" when se say ST. Petersburg
It is not Petrograd, it is Sant Pēterburga.
Its not Sant Pēterburga, its Leningrad
It's not Leningrad, it's RUSKI BLYAT DANK SETTLEMENT
Starting to get more and more like RealLifeLore, Paul. We're onto you.

"-so with all those to be considered, unfortunately it'll will stay in just our imagination. But only if we include all those that makes thing to be considered. So what if we change that a little bit? Say like we remove the time consuming? Maybe a teleportation station? And how will it affect our life? Well, thats sounds like for another, what if".
It would be busy and complicated, but worth it.
Luka Ten Dam Yeah, worth it for a little bit until cyclones and typhoons and the ocean pressure if its underwater or people destroy it.
I think a North American, or continental lines, would be more realistic. I live near the US border in Canada and there are trains which cross the border, just not for people. There's also a really old railway at the Lewiston bridge in Niagara Falls that used to be for passengers. Now the VIA rail service uses the same line, up until the border. Both Canada and the US have coast to coast rail systems, that are disconnected by our borders.
Jess O'Grady There's Amtrak service between NYC and Montreal
A vac train can be used as well and the good thing about that is that it uses regular rails so at either end it could connect with regular rail lines.
Your videos are informative and you are really good at hosting it! Subscribed
Imagine trying to go from Paris to Dallas, getting confused, then ending up in Argentina.
2:12 ST. JOHN’S TO IQALUIT
THATS AROUND 47.5 N, 52.5 W to 64 N, 68 W so going north west when going east
Wrong, the metro doesn't have a station in the city of England
city? bro literally
X is at the I'm quite impressed you didn't get that joke
Er england is my city
6:46 Alaska is a part of Canada
I guess Russia didn't sell it to America and Britain annexed it
happy_satan999 lol
No backsies. It's ours now.
happy_satan999 thank God! (Can we have New Brunswick in exchange? Please?)
Gray Fullbuster That doesn't seem right. We should be paying you to get New Brunswick off our hands.
Maybe not global, but continental. For example, there would be a metro rail system in Europe that you can use to travel to any capital city in Europe. Not all cities, just the capitals. People mostly pick capital cities for tourism
2:00 Iraq and Uzbekistan??!?!?!?!??!?!?!!!
I would've never expected someone would make such a precise and serious analysis of this picture.
There's one transcontinental subway line in Istanbul already
"I love trains!"
also suggests hyper loops
*sigh*
Well there are already tunnels under the DMZ, so maybe this project could bring peace to the Koreas :)
You are so rock. I am inspired to make such project like yours. Wish your videos always amazing!!!
Greetings from Pekanbaru (Indonesia).
the thing is, a line to antarctica would be unprofitable, even if there was a tourism at antarctica, no one wants to go there of any other reason, or maybe a few, but 1000 people arent very much.
I'm late but when Donguan's metro is complete the Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Donguan, and Guangzhou metro system will be connected so you could fly into Guangzhou Baiyun, Hop on the metro, cross a border, and end up at Ocean park in Hong Kong 100 miles away. You'd probably go through about a 100 stops. It's a start. Just wanted to spread word about this because it deserves a youtube video or several.
I think it would be impossible because the continental plates are moving and the railways would break.
what about a train track that will go from africa across the suez cannal, through israel to jorden and then to euro-asia
Rabat-Algier-Tunis-Tripoli-Cairo-Suez-Jerusalem-Amman-Baghdad-Tehran
Call it North Africa I guess
What about a universal country
Aswin Jos I hope that happens. When the Soviet Union and the DDR is a thing again, they will absorb the world eventually. It will make one socialist state that is the entire world. Long live the Juche ideology.
We’d be the largest country
Lorraine Nicolson Socialism cant work on a large scale, as the system is ewsy to exploit by doing little work for the same pay, and corruption which is easy to find in a centralized system.
Hahaha! Not in a billion years!
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
The Darien Gap is impossible to build through. The same reason why the Pan American Highway doesn’t run through there. Protecting indigenous tribes is not the reason why something hasn’t been built.
I would love a Hyper loop that connects the top ten major US cities with top cities in south and central America such as Rio DE Janeiro, Lima, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Bogota, Sao Paulo
Now the first thing you have to consider
Is the tectonic plates and their tendency to drift
the most feasable trans-planetary hyperloop would be an arctic and antarctic loop connected by partnering countries that make direct connections via parabolically merging conduits. This would look like how loops of a particle accelerator connect but with two similar sized loops at the poles (superconducting hyperloop = needs refrigeration ) and a bunch of two way or one way paths to and from the main loops.
Polar bears and penguins would be dizzy.
Love this and have fun on your trip God bless you and love from buffalo ny 😆🌍🌎🌏🌐🗺
Mark Bell AYY FROM ACROSS THE RIVER IN FORT ERIE 🔥🔥🔥 👌
Jess O'Grady yes I see you I have some family in fort Erie, amazing place😀
but what about tectonic plates moving?
The tectonic plates don’t move much anyways. 1 Centimeter or Millimeter per year. Plus you only have to worry about the Ring of Fire.
Japan's Shinjuku Station will most likely be the biggest station, as its the biggest station in the world and will connect the Pacific Line to Asia.
You also have to keep in mind about tectonic plate movement.
I actually had an idea like this, but for the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, but Earth could work well...in a far future
Surely it would be easier to have the train above the ground, only going underground to avoid going around certain things, like a certain country or a large mountain.
The worry of invasive species and invasive materials would drastically increase unless this is global train system has regulations.
new york needs hyperloops, at least the westbound train freeport (long island) - penn station and penn to a couple other stations
What about the bering strait crossing?
American Kids in 9999
Kid: Mom, can we go to Bangkok now?
Mom: Sure, let’s go
Kid: Thank You!
Each country could build its own national tram system, and take advantage of airplanes for international or emergency (organs, med evac, etc.) travel.
Dude, you're intense.
A global metro system would be *amazing*
I keep looking at the word “was” in the thumbnail and I keep thinking “metro rail” says “immortal.”
A highway would be much more practical
*Or we could just build a giant flying thing that have wings and cost cheaper and safer to use and stick to it...*
I think we just need a good train system in Los Angeles or just public transportation system in general.
I'd love to hop on a train at Denver's Union Station and arrive at Wien Hauptbahnhof or Wrocław Głowny!
In order for everyone to travel only for tourism as in just visiting a country to discover its landscape, landmarks, meet people and so on, everyone would have to be well off economically. Most people, globally, don't ever leave their country unless they're fleeing war or poverty. If there would be at least some economic equality, a global metro system would be awesome of course. It would enable easier cultural exchange and let people from all over travel more freely. Let's remember that most people who can afford to travel a lot are logically the richest people, and those are mostly from north america and europe.
Seems like something you could work into a science fiction universe.
Barby: I LOVE TRAINS!!!
me: *throws a train at him*
this train will never happen without world peace when the US and Iraq are going to World War 3 and it will definitely effect all of us. Climax change in Australia and Hong Kong Protests. Its 2020, the future will depends on each one of us if we make a change now. 💔
Read Robert Heinlein's 'Friday' for a description of underground hyperloop systems on each continent. They were supplemented with semi-ballistic semi-space planes for trans-oceanic high-speed crossings (Saskatoon to Auckland in 45 minutes). There was even a tethered space station with an elevator. Science-fiction authors were already writing about this decades ago. All we need to do is follow their blueprint. We have the technology now.
There are some very important Canadian connections that are missing in this map. Some places you have to transfer into the US to get between Canadian cities.
1) Prince George should really connect between Kelowna and Juneau. In fact a train that would run from Kelowna to Juneau would almost certainly have to pass through Prince George regardless.
2) Once the Pink Northern Line gets to Churchill, it really might as well continue south to Winnipeg. That way the northern communities get connected to the rest of Canada without having to first head West to Alaska.
3) Why doesn't Saguenay connect to Halifax? You're literally almost there. Without this connection, Canadians have to transfer trains in Detroit and got to Boston to transfer onto another train to take them to Halifax or Trans-Atlantic.
Everybody gangsta until you falls asleep and end up somewhere in South America
The airline industry would probably somehow block this from happening.
You forgot to mention Qitzikwaka the train has to go underground.
OMG sounds awesome! We need a stop in Stuttgart. Looking forward to going directly Europe-Senegal
Had so much fun watching this video
you would have to rebuild and standardise as differnt nations have differant guages (track width)
If it’s not hyper loop, then search on TH-cam for “ train simulator super class 47” because that train is so fast it could go like million miles per hour
I think on big continents such as Eurasia or within North America they should really make it happen soon to replace airplanes!
Just one Alex (MC) would be enough...
And, a glitch train track duplicater.
And also a iron form for minecart.
I hope for the Canada trip you keep in mind our schools start in September lol
Hilarious!!! The detail involved is sick...
I think that Tri-Continental should extend to Jerusalem and Eurasia should go to Makkah instead of Riyadh for religious reasons.
Overall, it is a fascinating plan which I hope to see in the future. I actually made hyperloop plans for Europe, East Asia, and North America several years ago, but I never thought of a global one.
but some of those structures you said would have to be built through waters that'll go for like 1km deep. So it's pretty much impossible to do that...
I think if you want to cross the ocean we should build a floating track
I think it will be useless to built the trans-oceanic metro rail, because considering the money that have been spent to built it, it will cost sooooo much, the ticket price will be so God Damn expensive, and people will more likely use the airplane. But for transcontinental line, that would be quite good.
I'd want to see a line going from perth, across the bight, through adelaide, melbourne (My home city), sydney, canberra, gold coast, brisbane, through Jakarta, up through the pacific, through taiwan and into central tokyo. From there it could connect to the rest of asia. (I'm thinking off the top of my head here. I'd need a map to make this better)
Just one thing: I loved your video. But your pronunciation on the Brazilan cities are a little bit spanish. I don't know if you know but here in Brazil we speak Portuguese. But that was just a nitpicking. Awesome video.
This is the coolest video ever
Tectonic Plates: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
I`m from Windsor, Ontario, and I would add a Windsor stop for the trains
i take issue with the locations of Omaha, Kansas City and Topeka. Omaha is far east of Topeka, so I think the line should run from Omaha to Kansas City to Wichita rather than Omaha to Topeka to Wichita.
In regard to the rails over the Pacific Ocean, one could try building most of it underwater to avoid the weather.
Omg. I just noticed that he has a Polandball poster behind him.
2:41 DAMN STRAIGHT, BUDDY!!!
It’s impossible because the tectonic plates shift and it would break the tracks
China is already building it. It's called the the Belt and Road or Larouche's World Land Bridge. 150 nations are on board.
Barbs: made a 6 minute talk about this whole subject
Me: Where is Torshavn???😂
We shouldn’t go through the middle of the pacific, just use the Bering strait
Sounds great but also consider
G forces and effects on the human body
Safety
Will it interrupt shipping routes and limit the size of ships that can pass
Damage to any train that is subjected to both extreme temperatures
I think it sounds like an awesome idea. It also sounds like a complete nightmare, but I still support it because it helps connect the entire world.
6:46 Alaska with Canada
No, the government won't let you travel to Antarctica if you know what I mean, and if not then you can search for that
I would imagine that I would see the impossible future Metrorail System like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about continental drifts? Not to mention earthquakes and erosion.
One year anniversary of this video
I don't know why we would use metro let's use high speed or conventional rail, hyper loops are not currently a viable option. Otherwise I think this would be a great idea
1:47 No way China would be allowed to build a railway to Taiwan, not unless it invades and conquers Taiwan.
now i can finally go anywhere outside of my coutry thats not flight
I think there will connection on Eufrasia and America but not through the ocean
so Alaska is a part of Canada
Terrible idea, think about the amount of people that would want to go on one, and think about how many train cars there would be. There might be a week wait for a total of 40 people out of the 10000 waiting to go from New York to London. Also it would be very expensive to ride and you would have to pay for 5 tickets to get from New York to london. So you would have to wait 2 years, pay about $70k, and it might be overbooked. A better idea is massive passenger jets that can go faster than the speed of sound with no problems.
Damn Massachusetts would have been a good place
Did anyone realized that he made Alaska apart of Canada even though it's a U.S. state.
...meanwhile...I’m still waiting for TN to just have Amtracks other than Memphis; and the routes leaving Memphis crossing the freaking WEST before they loop back around North/South/East! 😭
2:45 dat laugh tho
