MetroNetworks[/twocol_one_first][twocol_one_last]ABOUT
The “metro quiz” below displays 15 metro networks: will you be able to guess, among three choices, which city each one represents?

  • As terminologies are different from one country to another, only the light rapid transit lines are displayed (no french RER or german S-Bahn, for example).
  • The purpose of this quiz is to show that the metro network of a city can be very different from the plan available to users.
  • As these networks are based on mathematical characteristics, do not rely on the orientation or other geographic features.
  • Remember that the attendance of a subway is not proportional to its size.
  • There is no trap, all cities proposed in the replies have a subway.
