No.6 Paris Metropolitan
Paris, France
At 110 years old, Paris’ metro has 214 kilometers of tracks with the most closely spaced stations in the world and the world’s largest underground station, Chatelet les Halles. The system is a behemoth that transports 4.5 million a day, and has an even bigger network that riders can access with their Navigo card. This includes RER trains to Paris’ suburbs, buses in the city, plus a bicycle program -- Velib -- that gives users a bike to ride from one section of town to another. The city has also trimmed its driving lanes to offer an express bus lane, and while some claim the metro has its own distinct fragrance, it still maintains a reliable schedule.
