Annual ridership.
Naples Metro system: 42 million
Elizabeth Line: 200 million

Line 6 real-time passenger information display: “15-minute average times.” Ok.

Naples has the weirdest metro I’ve seen. Overbuilt stations; wide range of rolling stock quality from this modern open gangway beauty down to slow, rickety single-car trams; crap payment systems ~paper tickets~; 15-minute headways wtf on line 6; low ridership.

Most benches in the neighborhood are larger.

The Urbanist mistakenly called superblocks pedestrianized, as well, back in 2022 and that fueled backlash over fears that businesses would no longer have vehicular access. Superblocks are not pedestrianized. www.theurbanist.org/2022/10/26/c...

Note that shared streets still allow cars so they’re not fully pedestrianized but they do prioritize pedestrians.

Not really.
