Metro’s are stupid, build only trams/light rail instead.

Hi! Yes, all common transit modes have their uses, trams and light rail too! But for the large city of Copenhagen, and its narrow streets downtown would not make for a good place for trams, sadly. A metro can cover more distance and do so safer underground, away from streets and vehicles. A metro can also support larger capacities needed with keeping a big city running. Thanks for the comment!

To add to this, Copenhagen is in fact building a light rail, to work as a circular service for the western half of the city. This will work to accommondate for trips that do not need to enter the city itself to reach their destinations. Smart! This is a brilliant way for Copenhagen to benefit from light rail :)

The streets of Copenhagen are fairly narrow, and we prioritized bike lanes, so underground metro was a good fit for us - and it runs fast.
