Lights underground

Even though le Métro tried to kill me, I don’t hold a grudge.

This was the first time I’d ever experienced a subterranean mass transit system (when I first visited in 1979), and I’ve always really loved it. (I’m from LA; I am fascinated by railed mass transit that actually works, and I will ride anything calling itself a subway, metro or light rail just to be able to say I did. There was a tram line in Istanbul that ran maybe a couple of kilometers; I rode it just because.)

So here’s a clip from Odéon station, where things were colorful:

I think if enough peace comes to Moscow, we need a trip to experience their subway. the photos of the stations are their own museum.
