Not be outdone by Tokyo’s vast system of rails is Paris’ own subway system. Now, before anyone makes a premature conjecture that Paris’ system is more vast than the Tokyo rail system, keep in mind the sheer size difference we’re talking here. Also to note: despite the fact that Paris has a metro stop every few blocks inside the city limits, getting any use out of it when they are strike is next to impossible!

I do quite a bit of travelling (well I used to anyway), and whenever I travel I try to use the public transportation system as much as possible; whenever possible – Parisians, that last remark was for you! *@#%$ Metro Strikes. Anyway, I prefer to take trains so I started a collection of metro rail maps of the cities that I’ve been to. Hopefully some of you will find these useful at some point in the near future. For starters here’s a map of the Tokyo rail system. Good luck navigating this web!

p.s. These maps were taken from online sources; usually from their corresponding metro site. However, if they are proprietary maps, please let me know and I will take them down.
