Beijing subway's planning and construction is indeed very impressive.

BTW a ride on Beijing subway is dirt cheap, probably the second cheapest after Mexico city in the world.

Do you by chance have the official expansion plan of Delhi metro? I am very interested in reading that. The connection lines, if included in Delhi metro, probably have already been counted, but I need more information on that.

you can plan for a milion miles of the subway length.drawing maps are cheap,let's talking about the existing lines and those new ones which are almost finished and soon to be openned.3 new subway lines will be added to Beijing's already massive subway system by the end of this year.

According to the Beijing Metro Company, from 2013 to 2015 Beijing will continue to place at least one new subway line every year. It is estimated that by the year 2015, Beijing will have 19 fully operating subway lines, with a combined length of 561km. The total subway length is even expected to increase to 1,000 km by 2020, as stated by the Beijing Metro Company.

Very impressive！Beijing Metro is very cheap, because the bureau of finance grants 2 billion USD's financial aid every year to Beijing Metro. One ticket is just 31 cents USD, no time and km limits...

Sky trains, super bridges: 8 of the world's most spectacular infrastructure projects


Etihad Rail Network

In a land brimming with ostentatious development projects, the nitty-gritty of rail infrastructure pales when compared to the world's tallest building or man-made luxury islands -- but it shouldn't.
The 1,200 kilometer Etihad Rail network will extend across the desert hinterland of the United Arab Emirates, from the border of Saudi Arabia in the west to the frontiers of Oman in the east.
Costing $11 billion and taking in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and all of the Northern Emirates, developers hope the freight and passenger project will eventually join up with an international rail network covering Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar.

If only our ministers know how to use the internet efficiently and they see this and cry in shame if they have any shame (which i doubt). We got the railway infrastructure in running condition from the British and what did we do with it?

Time has come that we need to learn from the UAE on how to run railways and invest in them in the right way at the right time along with learning from UAE's first budget airline (Air Arabia) on how to run the national airline (PIA) airline and how to invest in infrastructure and many other sectors.

Did someone ask for a comparison??

 

[beijingwalker]

The OP itself is a wrong comparison,Beijing capital airport should not be there,it can barely make top 10 list of Beijing's most spectacular infrastructure.let alone the world,that's why Beijing is building another airport which will be much larger than that one.

THE OP DID NOT compare, just posted a CNN article. it is you Chinese that started comparing and having a hissy fit contest... typical trolls that you guys are. Take a mundane infrastructure article and made it into Chinese checkers

 

[beijingwalker]

how did they choose those so called top 8 yet totally nonsense candidates?the OP did their stupid comparison and everyone can see it's wrong,that's why people come to this thread and give their version of the comparison.that's a forum is all about.it's not a news page here.
