I can’t remember at the moment how I came across this tidbit, but I knew as soon as I saw it that I wouldn’t be able to resist something cool about Stockholm.
I took the Stockholm subway a few times in the 1990s, but I don’t remember anything like this. Relatives living in Stockholm will have to let me know if the subway today is really the magical mystery tour that Dangerous Minds suggests.
Go to the Dangerous Minds website for a wonderful array of pictures. It sure doesn’t look like the Red Line. If the Red Line looked like this, I would expect to encounter Ming the Merciless around every corner.
Might make the commute more interesting.

Their are several interesting stations, but when you are commuting every day you end up not seeing it. Only when there is graffiti painted over the walls. Which happens quite often. I think commuting everyday is very much alike all over the world; people don’t see each other or the surroundings.
A colleague who reads the blog told me today that he had visited Stockholm a couple times in the last few years and really loved the subway. Maybe someone seeing it for the first time is more likely to take it all in.
Yes, that´s right. and I appreciate when travelling with the subway someone has thought about the visual enviroment.. But does it change our behavior in a subway? You are still pushed,and ignored. Almost everybody is occupied with their cellphone with almost no interest in the consequences for the people around.
I try to make a point of noticing unusual things. Otherwise the subway ride is too boring. But I also read a lot.
It is because you make me notice unusual things that I like so much to read your blog. Thank you!
