Subway Station Quiz Question #1

[XNASA]

In what city is this rather ornate Subway Station located?

[CottonBear]

1. Moscow? Am I on on the right continent?

Maybe it's in Budapest. I don't think it's in Prague.

[XNASA]

4. It is not Moscow. If the Urals divide Europe from Asia......

..then it could be said that you are on the wrong continent.

[CottonBear]

9. Damn. Now I've got to google a map to see where the Urals are.

:( I'm so not good at European & Asian geography

[AllegroRondo]

2. Judging by the conductor, Im guessing Japan.

[XNASA]

5. It is not Japan.

[CottonBear]

6. Is it the conductor's outfit that makes you think it's in Japan?

Or, is it his height?

[AllegroRondo]

17. The outfit.

The ones I saw in Japan all wore very nice uniforms like that. And white gloves.

[AllegroRondo]

20. Dupe deleted by poster

[Fenris]

3. Istanbul.

[XNASA]

8. It is neither Istanbul, nor is it Constantinople.

Is there even a subway system in Istanbul? Seems treacherous.

[Fenris]

13. I wouldn't imagine there is.

I was guessing on the decorative flourishes and the retro appearance of the cars.

Why is there no subway in Istanbul? That's nobody's business but the Turks.

[XNASA]

33. I checked and amazingly, there is a subway/tramway in Istanbul.

But it's very modern and kinda sterile in appearance.
