@notjustbikes Great video! My wife and I explored the Stockholm metro last summer, and we had a great time.
One thing that really helped us was that the CityMapper transit app includes a map that shows certain stations with a "selected art in the subway" symbol. We found it was much more helpful than any of the lists we found on the internet, particularly when we were out exploring during the day.
The same map is available online at https://spartrafikkarta.se/

Unbelievably cool. Wow.Hoping to do the Nordic countries in 2029.

@notjustbikes Some people are scared of travelling underground. How can we help them?
"Turn a station into a realistic reproduction of the fires of hell?"
"Genius! That will soothe nerves. Do it!"
@2legged lol. Well, as I mention in the video, this station is always photographed this way, but in real life it's actually very colourful. It's just this part by the escalator that looks demonic!

Odenplan mentioned!@YimbyEarth hah! Nice. The Citibanan is pretty great. I love how fast you can get through the centre of the city now!

@gravitystorm ooh! That's a nice feature. I guess I should've used CityMapper when I was there. I usually do, but given that frequencies were so good and the metro was pretty self-explanatory, I just went based on the maps in the stations!

@notjustbikes when researchers analysed the biofilm at Kungsträdgården tbana they found two entirely new types of black yeasts. There's so many mosses and stuff growing there too. (And I feel very stereotypical fediverse that THIS is what I am bringing to the conversation)

@notjustbikes
yeah, it has really changed how at least I use those trains.
Maybe because I work near that exit from Odenplan and live so I transfer from the ring-LRT near the other end of the joint section. i.e. I can take all the trains, so during rush hour it's like every 4 minutes. Better than the service on the metro branch where I grew up. -

@notjustbikes Don't go letting the facts get in the way of a good laugh

@notjustbikes Loved this video on my home town. I am a Stockholm based tunnel engineer. If you want to know a lot of very niche details regarding how and why things are built the way they are, let me know.

@Eorlingur Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I may want to hear about those niche details some time. Maybe next time I'm there!

@notjustbikes As a Finnish person Kungsträdsgården is the one that has stuck with me since I was a little child. I think a toddler.

Take a look at "Toledo" metro station in Naples.
It well deserve a search on youtube. -
