I'm traveling to Norway soon for a short vacation and I'm looking forward to using Oslo's public transit and regional rail network. Apparently it's an award-winning, world-class system.

Most Northern European systems are absolutely amazing. Not only do things just work, but their attention to detail and design is also top-notch. In most places the fonts, kerning, colors, lighting, everything is just very pleasing to the graphic designer eye. Sometimes you feel like you've stepped into an app.

At Triangeln it has dancing lights on the walls that are somewhat mesmerizing[2]. 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Tunnel_(Malmö) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Tunnel_(Malmö) 2: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k6tJb9TwY1k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k6tJb9TwY1k

    > a million dollars under budget A hundred million, surely? 1e9 SEK under the projected cost of 9.5e9 SEK.

      Whoops you are correct, dropped a zero or two there. Makes it even more impressive.
