This slideshow from Wired takes a tour of some of the best subway systems in the world, boasting some of the world's most extravagant stations and efficient commutes.
"Subways are as much a part of big-city living as high-rises and gridlock, and they get about as much love. For many people, subways are crowded, noisy places only marginally better than being stuck in traffic -- and most of them are. But the best of them are not only efficient, they reflect the character of the cities they serve and the people they carry."
"In honor of the first test run of Chicago's "L" train, we're touring the globe by subway."
Wired stops in subways in Moscow, Tokyo, and Bilbao, among others.
