Here are North America and Europe in the world transit map.  For some reason, Jacksonville got included.

LOL. This is so amusing, thanks! This is obviously only based loosely on reality, but I would expect Houston and Dallas to trade places (at least) and certainly Chicago and Minneapolis. If I lived on the northern end of the blue line, I'd certainly complain about not having a direct connection to Vancouver. And I can only wish I could hop on a subway and end up in Milan...without a single transfer! Where can I find that whole image, Stephen? I'll probably throw it on my screensaver or something...

No doubt, they heard of the infamous riderless $ky-high-way express to nowhere.  Surely, an attraction worthy of conveying the lesson of what not to build!  LOL.

I have often taken the red line from Jax to Parma... transferring to the silver line and on to Oslo... fun and breathtaking! :)
