Leopold Polák actually that’s not accurate about the subway system.
There are two companies that run what are classified as a subway system. They are known as
1) Tokyo Metro (formerly known as Teito Rapid Transit Authority (帝都高速度交通営団 Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan), commonly known as Eidan or TRTA) is a private company jointly owned by the Japanese government (through the Ministry of Finance) and the Tokyo metropolitan government.
2) Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei Subway) which is owned solely by the government of Tokyo.
Rapid transit systems combined.
Number of lines 13
Number of stations 285
Daily ridership 8.7 million
Now all of those lines are in fact are rapid trains but they’re mostly rapid commuter systems and private lines that are the overwhelming bulk of transit in the metropolitan area.
This Wikipedia article basically explains how this complicated system moves. So in short the subway is much smaller.
Metro on Tokyo is traditional
Tokyo map including railways not subway. But its sure that Tokyo has one of craziest train networks
堀谷尚貴 A paradise for rail enthusiasts!
Railways are included because they have direct services to subway lines and subway companies in Tokyo regard them as part of the metro network
ONLY JAPANESE THOUGHT -> Tokyo Subway is consist of ONLY Tokyo metro & Toei Subway which are NATIONAL
ONLY ZIKATETSU (I don't know about Japanese KANJI漢字)
WORLDWIDE PEOPLE'S THOUGHT -> Private Metro's are ALSO SUBWAY!
ZIKATETSU + DEN-SHA
(Such as Seoul line 1, Suin Line, Yamanote line)
the railways are all integrated with subway, no much different.
Chang : I agree with you!
Keio, Odakyu, JR Higashinihon(東日本) and other private railways are not different from Municipal Subway lines! Suica and Pasmo can be used with those rails!
If they are train rather than metro, IC card should not be used!
Moscow is the most elegant
Tokyo is the most crazy
New York: I have biggest metro system
Tokyo: Hold my sushi
@Queen_PLATINE! You said that like it's a bad thing.
New York has a bigger Rapid Transit than Tokyo
WTF celui de Tokyo
London underground: Well, Crossrail is coming! And there are new train extensions towards the east of the map and the south!
The biggest metro system is Shanghai metro
I can not imagine what would happened if Metro 2033 was made in Japan
Most of stations aren't underground
well most of the station of new york arent underground either@@bulat_shams
The only one who use underground as the formal name is London Underground yet only 30 percent of its track actually bellow the ground

I have been to Tokyo, Barcelona, London, Paris, and Berlin. All of them worked quite well I thought, the Tokyo one was a model of efficiency and cleanliness. With all of these systems, travelling during the busy periods could be a challenge and navigating some of the larger stations was very confusing, particularly Shibuya or Shinjuku in Tokyo. One of the better integrations of regional rail and metro lines was Berlin. Of course, Berlin also has much lower density than the other cities. In all of these cities, these transit systems enabled people to walk more, ironically, and so people were healthier as a result.
Metros in Japan
Nagoya and Osaka: I am square-loving.
Tokyo: I am the squigglemaster
Love Tokyo. Tokyo is a big railway city. You don't need a car.
thank you
Tokyo drift TRIGGERED
I thini so too. There are so many railways in Japan!
Absolutely! So amazed by Tokyo when I.was there.
its because they use bicycles
When Japan is mentioned it always come to mind Tokyo, but usually nobody thinks about Osaka, although not as massive as the capital its rail network is still impressive
When visiting Moscow I was actually amazed how clear the structure of the metro lines is.
One major circle line connecting to all other lines which lead all through the city
And the interior of the stations in incomparable! Palaces underground.
Now one builds 2st (big) circle
Now one and half circle lines
@@Erix442, уже 2-й круг построили.
I lived in Paris from 1997 to 2001, and can honestly say that I quickly found using the métro to be straightforward and self-explanatory. As opposed to, say, the New York subway, which has express and local service, and overlapping lines that appear in the same color on the map (A, C, E). Parts of Parisian métro lines 8 and 9 overlap, but they have different colors on the map, and you can clearly see that every station is served by both lines.
Oh, you don't know your ABC's and numbers? :)
Each station on the official MTA map (not the crappy fan-designed version shown in the video) is labeled with the lines served.
Yes, stations can be confusing, as there were originally three different companies (IRT, BMT/BRT, IND).
Also, those express lines are a brilliant design! Not only do they allow commuters a fast trip into the city, but they also serve as auxiliary tracks during accidents and repair.
...and then there is the 24/7 service...
Tu as tout dit :) d'autant plus que le plan est plus simple avec les noms de rues

The best one is the moscow metro map. Very clear and easy to understand :)
NYC is best
London’s is very iconic
I love the line 5, it's really rounded
Nimic а в других городах пиздец
A lot of radial lines and one circular line to embrace them all. So simple yet so effective!

For Japanese, 'Metro' means only 'tokyo metro' and 'tokyo metropolitan bureau'(just as reduced ver map)
However, for non-Japanese it seems to include a part of JR and private railway around central Tokyo.
That is just like difference between 'Tokyo-to (or metropolitan tokyo)' and 'Tokyo urban area (it often includes cetral yokohama, chiba and saitma)'
Tokyo subway it's my headphones in a pocket
i'm Japanese, i was surprised at what understandable other countries' train map
The design of the Moscow metro was invented by Artemy Lebedev. After him, everyone started trying to make a minimalist design like ours. He is really an amazing person.
What about Harry Beck?
The idea of a diagrammatic network map was first conceived by Harry Beck.
Great, I've been to Barcelona, Seoul, Paris, Beijing and Tokyo. Their maps are really crazy!
wow, when in 2020 Metro warszawskie will expand, it will get in 20th place of biggest metro Networks
WASIURPA New York is less crazier.
Ha ha ha.
W Train Broadway Express, New york's map is crazy but still its in 4th place, 3rd place Is London Underground [LU]
Seoul is still hard for Korean..lol
Tokyo's subway lines are generally routed to connect two commuter rail lines on opposite sides of Tokyo.
This is confusing but, at the same time, quite convenient as well!
The NYC subway does the same for Metro North and LIRR but they didn't include it into the count. The tokyo stats they gave is inflated with railway and metro.
The Korean subway map is very old. In video, Korean has 343 stations, 18 lines and 487km(304mi). It was in 2003. But now, 680 stations, 22 lines and 1113km(691mi). Seoul Metropolitan Subway System has the title which is the second most complicated and craziest subway system in the world. (Of course, Japan Metro is the most craziest system in the world...)
I live in Tokyo now. I’m using that metro everyday.
moscow's easy to read
yes, it's very well designed russianmetro.ru
mainly because I've studied it for 5 years lol
They have put a lot of effort into designing an easy to use and comprehensive metro map.
Also I like its local navigation, though most people hate it for whatever reason.
@@nochnoyru www.mosmetro.ru/metro-map/
Yes
I've been to Moscow several times, and it's rather large than crazy.
BUT!
You need to remember one very important thing, or you might get lost - some interchange stations are served by two lines - one line on one track, the other line on the other track. In case you've missed your station and want to go back, you will need to go to the neighbor pavillion. In short, look for directions and follow them, Moscow subway is good with that ;)
Apart from Tokyo (😰) none of these map were “crazy”.
They all looked somewhat uniform
In fairness to Tokyo, that wasn't a map of their metro system. That was all of their rail lines.
Now pull out the national rail map for London.
Nope it is not possible to show all the railway lines in tokio on a small map. Ok technically you could but you'd need a magnifying glass ;)
@@offichannelnurnberg5894 What railway lines were left off that map?
Yeah, but the commuter rail network pretty much functions as their metro system. It’s also optimized for standing like in a metro, not sitting like in a train.
@@kyh148 Then he could have done the same with London's map. Full maps are available, but he chose to stick with TFL. There are a lot more commuter rail lines that work like a Metro in London/ Greater London too. Tokyo Metro is distinct from other JR Lines that run nationally.
TBH I feel like Moscow's metro map is a design that actually makes sense for almost any city

No one can be called crazy except Tokyo
I think once you have sussed one subway map, you can navigate any. I've used Moscow`, Shanghai and Beijing, but I must admit the Tokyo Metro map does look like a challenge.
Japanese railway system(including JR/metro/private railways/Shinkansen and so on) is the most convenient and efficient railway system I have ever seen.
Actually, the Beijing and Moscow subway systems (maps) don't look "crazy" or complicated at all. 👍
The Beijing one was very pleasant with the two concentric circle lines that connect all the other lines. I haven't been to China, and I don't really plan on going there, but I'd think that makes finding a connection much easier - you're never that far away from a concentric circle.
The Beijing one is a bit confusing
Only the Tokyo map was even remotely complicated or crazy.
In my opinion, the Beijing Subway is the least complicated. A couple east-west lines, a couple north-south lines and a couple of rings.
Yes; a very clear structure and easy to use.
Some of the older stations on the 1 and 2 lines are not very child- or handicap-friendly, but apart from that, it works like a charm, and goes to most of the important stuff.
Paris: I have the biggest metro system, look: 2:21!☺️
Tokyo: NANI?! Mite: 2:42!🤴
Tokyo Is my favourite one
due to the technology used to operate the subway
I am Japanese.
Certainly there are many stations, but it is very convenient if you get used to it :D
before watching this, I know Tokyo gonna be #1
I been here before, it's just tooooooooooo crazy MAAAAAAAN

I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo for almost 20 years, but I still get lost in the subways...
as of 2013, 82 of the world's top 100 busiest train stations were located in Japan.
4718km for Tokyo Metro... Imagine counting the length of *all railways in Japan*
Living in Tokyo I must be fun... man I would get lost on the metro.
It’s not that difficult tbh, you get used to it pretty quickly, as Tokyo is very very large and the lines spread out into the suburbs you only really need to know the local lines. Google maps is especially useful as they show u exactly what lines to take as well as the price in case ur interested. I’d recommend staying on one network if possible as transferring from one train company to the other would be more expensive than staying on a single one.
OMG Tokyo's !!! To me, they were quite simple about the 5th. At the 2nd, I've realised it's because I'm used to Paris' as I work in Paris :)
WOW,amazing.
Long of some metro system in Chinese cities (includes HK, Macau and Taiwan):
MTR (HK): about 250km
Taipei Metro:195km
Nanjing Metro:378km
Guangzhou Metro:458km
Chengdu Metro:264km
And any of them is longer than Metro de Madrid.
I’ve used all of them beside Seoul NY and Tokyo and non of them seemed to be so crazy.
Great video
You wouldn’t believe there’re 84 lines including metros and regular railways in Tokyo
The 84 line are included with the railways. If that is the case they should of added Metro North and LIRR for the NYC Subways since they have transfer point to the subway and all run by one company, MTA.
OMG, Tokyo, Crazy map...
Love Seoul. Seoul Subway clearly shows not the size but the ride that matters the most.
Tokyo Metro's 2210stations, 158lines and 4715km includes rural national and private railway lines that have nothing to do with the metro and are not in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
For example, it would be like counting all British Railways in Southern England, or all Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak lines in New York and New Jersey as metro, which is not fair.
The true scale of Tokyo Metro is 286 stations and 13 lines, including public corporations and prefectural railways.
However, most Tokyo Metro trains run on national and private railway lines and run directly to suburbs.
So if you count those stations and lines, the number should double or triple.
Tokyo Metro's services are extremely extensive because most of the line does through-services to other rail companies like Japan Rail, Tokyu, Tobu, Seibu, and other rapid railways. For example If you ride Fukutoshin Line towards Shibuya and you keep riding till the end, you reach Chinatown in Yokohama.
The London map includes, to the east, the DLR and the orbital Overground (the tram and part of Crossrail have been added since). They're all part of the TfL network but run as separate divisions within it. Good video though.
I like how they used an unofficial redesign of the NYT subway map.
That's still a crappy map.
Channel Is Going Through Unification they could of used the REAL ONE
Glad you put how the actual subway network look vs the map.
The Tokyo Railway Map gives me goosebumps for some reason 😬
maybe you are in love with trains like me? ;)

HappyMations I do play Mini Metro but my lines aren't this convoluted
Come on I play mini metro
I wish I could survive long enough in the game to create such a complicated network... :(
Lollllll
Tokyo definitely loves their trains
My eyes burned off trying to understand the map you choose. I LIVE in New York and I take the subway SO MUCH, but that map you choose was outdated, confusing, and not even accurate.
oh my looks like we have dig the whole planet for subways tracks....and as a train fanatic i friggin love it!!! :D
2:42 even the London underground (which I use) is confusing, there's no humanly possible way to follow that
Tokyo is the first city I've been in where there are express versions of some lines, with trains that only stop at the major hubs.
NYC has that too
Although some lines are express lines, they call themselves local trains.
I have lived in Tokyo for more than 10 years, but I still get lost in big stations. When I finally get to the ground after walking around the station, I'm already late for my appointment.
Here I am trying to make plans for 1 metro line in Cities: Skylines. What is pretty amazing though, that Japan trains are NEVER late.
Because you will get a fine of yours late
2:10 Mind.... the gap
and my city has only two lines and people still got confused
Incredible Tokyo!
Love the Prague metro with just 3 lines. It's enough and you can remember every single station withous problems :)
Oslo's map is also easy!
Tokyo 😵😱...amazing
My reaction to the Tokyo Subway map: WTF!
Tube Map & National Rail map is insane.
Imagine living in Staten Island and having to commute 2 and a half hours every day both ways through the NYC metro system just to get to my classes on time.
Seoul metro map is outdated. It's 2003
Rafi old map
more complicated now
Beijing map is outdated, too. it's 2013.
That’s true but Seoul already has to much subway lines and stations
according to Wikipedia Seoul Subway is most longest line Length in the world.
TFL rail: Our map will be super tonne in the future
Tokyo: Hold my sushi
British rail hold my trains
Seoul metropolitan subway is 1,146km long now. And it has 598 stations and 22 lines.
I'm glad I live in Sydney, we only have a few lines and it's always late and long delay!
SOUTH KOREA NO.1
According to Wikipedia, Seoul subway lines is the longest in the world.
This data is wrong.
This data is Japan included all JR lines.and Seoul is the data of 2003.

Paris 16 metropolitain lines, yes, kind of. However, as two of those lines are very small "bis" lines (historically used to connect big lines between each other), most of people don't really count them as so
Also, if I may point out that in your showcasing of the network extent, you've actually highlighted the RER tracks as well which go waaaaaay beyond the subway's network limits =)
In the map of Paris, you can see the metro (14 lines now and 18 in 2030), the RER (suburban rail network) , transilien (other suburban rail network from the Gare Saint Lazare and Montparnasse) and the tram.
Glad you included London Underground.
To be more accurate, Tokyo's first map consists of Tokyo metro(9 lines)+Toei subway(4 lines)
And the last one includes subway lines above and JR lines+ 'Shitetsu'+ and others(Yurikamome etc...) And the whole map shows Tokyo and its surrounding areas(Saitama, Chiba, Yokohama(Kanagawa), Tama, Tochigi)
A couple things:
First, Tokyo's subway map shown in the video includes railways not in the subway. Though it is impressive, it would be like showing the London Rail and Tube map which is misleading.
Secondly, the Seoul subway map shown in the video is very outdated. The map was made between 2003 and 2004, and between then and 2017 more lines have been opened and line 1 has been massively extended.
Moreover, by December 2017, the total length of the Seoul subway system was 1113.2km and there were 21 lines (including light rail) and 680 stations.
Every place has different rules.
You know the London Underground? It's 55% above ground.
Then when you go to Tokyo, 10 of the 13 subways have through service to other mostly above ground lines. It should be noted however that the Namboku Subway Line continues straight onto the Saitama Subway Line.
So why should London Underground's above stations count when Tokyo Metro's through service to another subway company doesn't count?
Every place has different rules.
Paris does have 16 Metro lines, but the chart and map included the 5 RER lines and 10 Tram lines, making 31 lines in total
Tokyo metro looks complicated but you get used to after a while. Then it becomes easy to use.

2:42 This map is correct by 200x. Now, there are more line added or expanded
tokyo has a really crazy map but very good to go to any destinations!
2:36 is the real Tokyo subway map. 2.41 is the Yokohama subway and the Tokyo subway and all urban rail in four prefectures combined on one single map, like if the London underground map included Brighton, or the New York subway map included eastern New Jersey.
Note: The private railway Tokyu corp has through trains on the Toyoko line that continues onto the Yokohama subway in the southern end and onto the Tokyo subway in the northern end, so you can actually ride on both subway systems without changing train, (even though Yokohama and Tokyo are separated by the large town Kawasaki).
(On the left half of the map at 2.41, there's a red line that runs diagonally towards the lower left corner. It has five bold red characters beside the line on the map. That's the Tokyu Toyoko line. Where it ends is where it continues onto the Yokohama and Tokyo subways respectively.)
goishikaigan mademou In this way of presenting the other networks, one should take the Transilien (800km) map for Paris, too.
No, Only Tokyo metro company and Toei subway company's maps is that!
Real tokyo metro is comprise JR, Tokyo metro, Toei subway, Odakyu, Keio and other 14 companies!
This video is full of shit, isn't it? At 2:50, it's claimed that Tokyo subway is 23 percent the distance around the globe (4,715 km) and has 2,210 stations - or 15.5 times as long as in reality (304.1 km), having 285 stations.

The total number of subway stations in Seoul is 21 in 2018 years, and the total number of stations is 681. And the Seoul subway line on the video is 2004 line.
The Beijing Subway is the metro system with the longest route length and highest ridership. The New York City Subway has the most stations.
