Meanwhile Hamburg, Germany with only 1.8 Million:
Kind of misleading. That’s metro+light rail. Above ground light rail is massively cheaper to build than subways.
Still gets you places almost the same. Just have to have the foresight to leave space for it above ground.
Sure. I simply point out that developing above ground rails much cheaper. I’m not criticizing. I’m all for nay kind of public transport, and electric car and moto sharing.
