thought this might be an interesting link to add to the discussion.  This map seems to conflate light rail, trams, and subways, (and seems to leave out most commuter rail) but it Shows North America does have some non buss mass transit.

...now off to see if i can find something similar for Europe.

btw I love www.radicalcartography.net

Very cool. Would be even cooler if they included the associated commuter rail lines (they do show the Caltrain commuter rail in the bay area, but that's it).

you are the media you consume.

Back in August poemless gave us a link to to-scale maps of major subway systems in the world.
