The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.
Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
they also have a center-city streetcar line using four-wheeled double-deck trams giving a service a bit faster than walking and very popular and well-used. Few people ride end-to-end and a minority of trams run end-to-end, most turning at intermediate turning loops. The ride is acceeptable because the track is kept in good ocnidtion, 2-man crews. A car always in sight.
There is extensive light rail in the suburbs, feeding the Metro, but also handling lots of suburb-to-suburb commuting.
Sounds like a pretty good system operated by a private company that operates some lines in other cities, including London. For HK the farebox recovery is 185% and they make a large profit.

I was in Hong Kong, and I do not remember seeing any subway.
But is it fancier than Moscow's?
