There’s always media coverage for those trying to disparage #high-speed rail or pretty much any #transit improvements. But oddly less coverage for opposition to road building. It’s almost as if most media is biased in favour of the road lobby. Perish the thought. #WorldPublicTransportDay

What are your favourite examples of public transport around the world?
Mass transit: getting there 🚇
One of my favourite journeys on the London Underground: one stop, from Covent Garden ➡️ Leicester Square
At 250m it is one of the shortest distances between stops on the Tube network. Still worth the ride ♥️

For #WorldPublicTransportDay, I'd like to rank every metro system I've ever travelled on, from best to worst.
The way we'll count metros is if they have "metro" in the name, or the organisation running it thinks they are a metro.
