San Francisco Bay Area

Interestingly, this doesn't include the cable car system or the historic trolleys--only the lines using modern rolling stock

This is a detail of Muni Metro (also showing only the lines using modern equipment)--shown as solid red lines in the map above

Berlin combines 3 very large urban Metro/Rail networks which are tightly interwoven. Taken together, these systems form the largest inner city rail system in Europe and most likely one of the largest in the world.

The 2 Metro systems (only colored lines) on this map include the S-Bahn (mainly overground) and the U-Bahn (undergound rail). The tram/trolley system which consists of another 200 km track length is not included here. Regional Rail services providing links with the hinterlands are not included here as well.

The large picture, the thin red lines are some regional commuter services.

Cleveland's map

The Red Line is heavy-rail
The Blue and Green Lines are light-rail
The Gray line (Healthline) is the new BRT route with 59 stations (stations not shown on map)

The East End line is in construction right now, so by 2012 we will probably see it and the Southeast line in service, and the other lines nearing completion.

Future Portland Rail Transit Map (Credit: www.nycsubway.org)

Note: Solid Blue, Yellow and Red already built and operating
Dashed Green to Clackamas under construction (opening in September)
Dashed Purple from Beaverton already operating (although as Commuter Rail)
Dashed Orange to Milwaukie design/engineering underway. To begin construction after Green line opens.
Kind of difficult to see, but across from downtown a new Streetcar line should begin construction soon.

Total Mileage built and Operating = about 66 miles (44 Max, 7.2 Streetcar, 15 Commuter Rail) (Although I would personally consider the Streetcar to have 3.9 miles, but its listed as 7.2 because it forms a loop)
Total when Orange/Green lines open = about 80 miles

Even if it doesn't happen, is there any problem with dreaming?

Particularly the Hilsborough area, Oakland's east benches, and the north bay. I would also like to see better north-south rapid rail transit in the east bay - maybe building a BART line from Walnut Creek through Danville, San Ramon, Dublin/Pleasanton, and ending in San Jose. Then, of course, extend the Fremont and Milbrae lines into San Jose to connect with it. Bay Area transportation is good, but we can make it EXCELLENT!!

And now funds have been appropriated for a street-car system in SLC Proper and talks of Ogden street-cars are underway! SLC has come a long way in 10 years and will go even further over the next 10 years!

Hi. Can we not clutter a thread that's already got a lot of images with quoted reposts of the same images? Thanks.

Cirrus · #32 Posted **Apr 1, 2009, 3:06 AM**

MayDay: The Silver line has *59* stations? What makes it "rapid" again?

quashlo: That's really cool. And it actually seems easier to comprehend than the diagrammatic map.

Very nicely done - I especially like your font choice.

What needs to be made clear also is that this map covers maybe 30% of Greater Tokyo's stations. The size and scope of metro Tokyo's rail is well beyond anything else on this planet. 25+ million passengers PER DAY!

Minato Ku · #40 Posted **Apr 2, 2009, 7:14 AM**

Exactly.
40% of world passenger train journey are made in Japan.
Tokyo metropolitan area represent a large part of Japan train ridership.

Everybody could understand what this mean.
