A quick Google says that there’s a population of just over 250,000, and the train system is 3 lines with a total of 51 stations? As someone living in NA, that’s unbelievable.

I was just there and sat in one of those buildings watching the short trains go by
It’s a quite interesting system, with very steep hills meaning rubber tires are used. It’s also completely automated

Just rewriting this because based on the downvotes & reply apparently I wasn’t clear enough.
The line in the photo is the only one like this in Lausanne. It’s small and pretty low capacity. It’s also automatedk runs very frequently and has been really successful. I guess you can call it a subway because it’s mostly underground, or a metro like Lausanne does (but it’s [not a metro](https://mobile.twitter.com/RailNatter/status/1647864495354662912/photo/1)).
The other lines (one of which is still under construction) are both tram lines. I love trams and they’re great here but they aren’t subways.

Lausanne, Switzerland has the urban density of a Dark Souls legacy dungeon

Well…
In Serfaus, Austria with some 1.100 inhabitants, there‘s an Underground with 4 stations:
I used to go here as a kid in primary school on trips, o think 3 times. There’s this cool rollerblading competitor down a fukin steep hill/hills. Also I got short changed there once. Went to crazy golf, camped in the mountains in teepees, ran down the mountainside, went to the h r giger museum in Gruyères? I remember not liking olives at that time too for some reason. Coach trip was epic and fun lol.

Even if it’s a small city, it’s the density that counts. That place is very dense and walkable

Interestingly, it’s also the only subway system in Switzerland, not even Zürich has one

Nice contrast between traditional and modern.
