Love this map!! Shocking Dublin has no metro. Often feels like the bedrock of a European capital. Lived in Tallinn, Estonia for over a year. No metro there at all. Would hop on the ferry to Helsinki across Baltic Sea just to sample a metro line!

One example of breaking away from silos and bridging connections.

You are TOO kind! ❤️ I should hire you as my agent. Also still getting used to this place... Loving the aesthetics of Bluesky!
