@super58173 Whoops, did I say "tyres"? I meant "wheels" lol ...
Yeah , the Montreal Metro was rated as the best globally at some point for a bunch of reasons, one of them being its use of rubber wheels rendering it virtually silent (mechanically at least)!
Although., I have to say, the squeaking of the Glasgow subway somehow is endearing.. kind of like a quaint quality that, in the end, you might want to keep because it gives the whole thing a certain character and quality...

@ammarios - Wait, your subway has tires?
Like a People Mover? Or a BUS?
...anyway, the squeaking would come from the steel wheels.

It isn't known as "the clockwork orange" - say that in Glasgow and you'll get your face laughed off. It's a myth invented by English journalists and travel book writers.
Weirdly we call it, "The Underground" - crazy, huh...??? ;-)

This is awesome.... I'm obssessed with metro trains for some reason.
I'm from Montreal, Quebec, Canada ... our STM (Societe Transport de Montreal) is, in my opinion, the best (we use rubber tires, so it is pretty much silent in comparison).. and there are always announcements of "Prochaine Station... ..
I DO like the Glasgow one though.. it has a very quaint and charming feel to it... although I hope they fix those squealing sounds!
