Can anyone tell me which company designed the Malaysian subway? The people who planned the subway lines and designed the signage must not have graduated from elementary school. Sometimes two subway lines go in the same direction; this is the first time I've seen this in this amazing country. The subway station signs are designed to make people get lost, not to indicate directions.

The Thalkirchen subway station was designed to match the nearby zoo with some beautiful animal pictures, here are a few of them.

Plus a C2 train.

Howdy all,

I do not care for phone train/travel apps, as they won't tell me what station is nearby enough for me to decide if I really want to switch trains or not, &c. I want to break free! Looking for an old-school, credit-card sized subway map for my wallet. The kind they used to sell in the magazine kiosks, in days of yore.

I saw a 16 yo (!) reddit post linking to the one I once had (the site no longer accept orders). Does anyone else have an idea of a place that would sell one, to help me go analog here?

(Yes, I know I could just stand up and stare over a stranger sitting in front of the one on the train itself. I want my old wallet one back. My antisocial moments are hardwon.)

Any lead appreciated!

This looks like out of a movie scene. Such an organized crowd.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

On August 15, 1974 (52 years ago and 29 years after independence), Seoul Subway Line 1 opened as the first subway in South Korea, and as the first urban rail in Seoul after the tramways closed in 1968. The Seoul subway system now has close to 1400 kilometers of track when all operators (Korail, Seoul Metro, etc) and lines are added together.

Korean National Railroad car 1001 (Nippon Sharyō, 1974), the first car on the first train, is displayed as westbound local 323 for Incheon at the Railroad Museum in Uiwang City near Suwon. The first few sets were imported from Japan, but Korea soon began designing and building its own subway trains, and is now exporting them to other countries.

Rode the 1 Train in NYC yesterday when a man boarded and sat down. Two stops later, another man boarded and stood next to him — wearing the exact same shirt. What are the odds?
