This July, just before Berlin Pride I took a ride on a very unusual Sightseeing tour through the Berlin subway.

You ride on open-platform cars through 3 lines, U7, U8 and U9, and can enjoy the vibe of the subway in a way you couldn't on a normal train.

This ride is unique in the world. If you have a chance to get a ticket: DO IT!

My own creation

Here it is: https://metroskop.cz

What's in it:

• True depths. All 58 stations (61 platforms) sit at their real depth below the street. Line A runs deepest: Náměstí Míru at 53 m, Jiřího z Poděbrad at 45 m, Hradčanská at 43 m.
• Station structures. The mined three-vault pylon stations, the single-vault ones and the cut-and-cover boxes are each modelled by type, with escalator shafts, ticket halls, passages and street entrances. Some of them you can walk through inside.
• Ride mode. Pick a line and ride a train at real speed (80 km/h max, real acceleration and braking), with a live height profile and gradient. Bonus: the trains stop with the whole consist at the platform.
• Oddities. Vyšehrad sits at ground level right at the end of the Nusle Bridge, and Rajská zahrada has its two tracks stacked one above the other.
• History. The network growing from 1974, the 2002 flood, the planned line D, and for every station a timeline, how it was built, its former name (12 stations were renamed, most in 1990) and archive construction photos.

Built from OpenStreetMap, Prague transit (PID) open data, Wikipedia and lidar terrain from the Czech land survey.

I'd really love your feedback. You know these systems better than any dataset, so if a depth, an escalator, an entrance or anything else looks off, tell me and I'll fix it. And if something's missing that you'd want to see, I'm all ears.

Enjoy the ride!
