"i guess the X OSIs on london dozens of OSIs on tokyo metro (including some very busy ones such as Shibuya Kasumigaseki and Kokkai-gijid-mae / Tameike-Sann are not interchanges then smh. instead of criticising baselessly put the alignment in CAD yourself and try to come up with an in system transfer without blocking somebody's gate or demolishing a building. come on I dare you to"

"and i am telling you you're being illogical to say that metro X was planned built and completed XX years before metro X it's supposed to be an east west line and has been planned accordingly (6 car provisioning connection to stations etc) metro X is a north south line and has been planned accordingly (8 car provisioning running parallel etc) you are imposing single seat rides because you are not used to changing trains which is fine but understand that you can't say the planning is bad because you did not get a single seat ride"

"also btw since you were asking HK MTR has a total of XX interchanges of which:- only X full CPI stations less than XX% of the interchange stations less than X% of the whole network only X partial CPI station again less than XX% of the interchange stations less than X% of the whole network Another XX are cross concourse interchanges close to half of all interchanges or XX% of the entire network Other X are out of system transfers Rest are interchanges with other modes operated by MTR like MTR Light Rail so not including them here Compare this to Mumbai Metro:- XX interchanges XXX total"

"this is such a retarded take that i don't even feel like dignifying it with a reply or RT i'll just attach the photo of the tweet here with it's context. I mean. just look at that rake and compare it to the ones that run on one is an outdated looking copy of a decade old design already used for far too long on multiple lines and systems with no colours and with a giant irritating M on the sides and an equally looking black front. the other is a cyberpunk aesthetic vibrant looking train with colour code indicating yellow or red stripes (depending on the line) arranged in an equally futuristic"

"oh nice I haven't gotten to see them yet on yellow mostly TS-30 or earlier sets run so i don't have a clue. but yes agree on everything else the exteriors interiors all of them of BEML made RS-1s are just better aesthetically than alstom made MM3-CBS-RS1s and MRS-2s. from colour coded handle bars and air conditioning vents to better LED screens and placements signages graphics on those screens charging sockets bicycle racks (if you like them) and so much more (an unrelated side note but the Hitachi SiC-PMSM motors used on BEML made MRS-1s also offer much quieter and smoother acceleration than"

"acha so the reason why there's two names at interchanges between MMRDA and reliance and not between MMRC and reliance is a difference in policy MMRDA only sticks to names of revenue villages (or well at least used to) it's a problem that has been highlighted even by us pro metro ppl in the past. which is why i said that ideally i'd want yellow line station to be renamed to DN Nagar and Blue line station to be renamed to gundavali it's fine even if they don't cause i want them to get more important things done right first like completing uttan mogharpada and kasheli depots on time"

"there are escalators he is saying that escalators are only there to go up not to go down which isn't entirely true as some of the entrances on terminal X do have escalators to go both up and down so it really depends on which exit the OP took as some exits (obviously) have space constraints and thus can't put bidirectional escalators"

"since you mentioned Hong Kong here's something you would've known had you travelled on the whole system (I have so I know). Almost all interchanges in Hong Kong are underground of which all but one cross platform interchange is underground as well. And even in these underground interchanges where they didn't have space constraints they have made perpendicular concourse to concourse interchanges when the directions of the lines didn't align. Just look at Mei Foo Quarry Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. When the so called best system is doing this as and when they require it then why do we measure our"
