Stockholm´s Subway system | A massive gallery (1/2)
What? A post with 60 pictures of metro stations? Are you crazy? Who would want to see that? Such a silly subject for a post.
Well, it´s not just pictures from a random underground system, it´s the Blue Line (10) from Stockholm, the most famous one in Scandinavia because of the colors, paintings and themed stations it has along the whole line.
When I heard about it the first time, someone said something alone the lines Oh yeah, each station in the metro´s blue line is painted of a different color and I immediately thought *Oh, that sounds like a good post idea.
One day I decided to check some of the stations out and see what the fuzz was all about and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn´t expect each station to be themed, not just painted on a special color.
Stockholms´s public transportation system is one of the most effective and efficient ones I have seen in my life, if not the best at all. I haven´t experienced any delays at all, from buses, trains, tram or whatever, everything is always on time; every wagon, seat, bus or place for that matter is clean and well taken care of; reading directions, information booths and maps are easy to read and unless you haven´t used a transport system before, you will not get lost.
But man, it is expensive. The most expensive public transport I have ever see in my life by far! Getting anywhere is almost $5 euros. That´s way too much for me - or for anyone without a Scandinavian salary to be honest - and that´s why I only move by bycicle unless I have to go somewhere far away or with someone else.
Anyway, the full gallery is 120 worthy pictures (I took more than 300 pics, yes, that cool are the stations) so I divided it in two posts, otherwise you won´t look at all of them - I´m not even sure you´ll check out this one to be honest haha.
I hope the pictures are enough to allow you to immerse into the subway stations and to experience a bit of what I did. Without a doubt, these are the coolest metro stations I´ve seen in a long while :)

That is quite fabulous! They've turned their Subway into a work of art. Thanks so much for taking the time to take all these photos and share them with us.
I enjoy metros a lot and always hope to have a decent camera with me. You are right about Stockholm's systems, most of scadinavia is pretty good. Finland's trains suck in the winter but, they are clean.
At first I was amazed at how efficient it is and then I saw the price and understood why but still, it is amazing how good it is. I wish I had a better camera with me but I had space issues - in the backpack, not Tesla ones - so I only brought my cellphone this time.
Whenever someone mentions Finnish transportation I think of this and I wonder how truthful it is (it´s now a meme so I guess its accurate but exagerated) :P
I could take a picture like that every day at any bus stop in Finland. That is not just a meme :D
What! Thats quite insane, maybe its to distract people from thier phones for some precious moments 😂 I havent been there yet but I guess I shall do at some point!
Its usually worth to get a week ticket even if you stay for 2 days, like here in norway to take a bus to the city 25min journey is costing 8euro each way, but a week ticket for all transport in Oslo is 40euro i think, I always buy the disabled one as its half price and if they ask I just say Im unable to work and usually I look a bit hobo so they just think im legit 😂
This is definitely a great idea for a post- really cool artwork and I love the stonework too, awesome stuff!
You are living your life right my friend, seeing it all!
Suddenly I'm really feeling a ride on the subway
Excelente reportaje gráfico. Felicitaciones.
Apparently these images are absolutely not going to load for me :< so I'll just have to take your word that it's fantastic XD
