My latest YouTube video is about the Stockholm metro, a metro system with some truly beautiful stations that they referred to as "the world's longest art gallery". Some of these stations are seriously impressive. https://youtu.be/WJCCDYbK0Gc

    @notjustbikes when researchers analysed the biofilm at Kungsträdgården tbana they found two entirely new types of black yeasts. There's so many mosses and stuff growing there too. (And I feel very stereotypical fediverse that THIS is what I am bringing to the conversation)

  • @notjustbikes Great video (as always). And you made me realize that when I used to commute by metro in Stockholm I rarely looked at the station signs, I looked at the artwork to see when I arrived at "my" station.

    @notjustbikes Some people are scared of travelling underground. How can we help them? "Turn a station into a realistic reproduction of the fires of hell?" "Genius! That will soothe nerves. Do it!"

  • @notjustbikes Great video! My wife and I explored the Stockholm metro last summer, and we had a great time. One thing that really helped us was that the CityMapper transit app includes a map that shows certain stations with a "selected art in the subway" symbol. We found it was much more helpful than any of the lists we found on the internet, particularly when we were out exploring during the day. The same map is available online at https://spartrafikkarta.se/

    @notjustbikes Unbelievably cool. Wow. Hoping to do the Nordic countries in 2029.

    @notjustbikes Blown away by the sheer variety of the designs.

    @notjustbikes Loved this video on my home town. I am a Stockholm based tunnel engineer. If you want to know a lot of very niche details regarding how and why things are built the way they are, let me know.

    @notjustbikes As a Finnish person Kungsträdsgården is the one that has stuck with me since I was a little child. I think a toddler.

    @notjustbikes Take a look at "Toledo" metro station in Naples. It well deserve a search on youtube.
