Post pictures of your country's Superhighways and Mega-transit lines

Hi there, this is the first topic I have ever posted (an experiment I think)

The point of this topic is to see what huge systems varoius countries around the world use to move huge amounts of people with.  Post a picture along with your message if you can, so we can see what the system looks like.  They can include subways, meglevs, highways, rail lines, light/elevated rail, bridges, ports, airports, etc. It doesn't matter if its urban/rural, etc.   

It would be great if there could be at least one post from every country that Simtropolis has members in so don't be shy, post your country'stransit system/highways even if its not huge.  I wanna have some diversity on this page so its not all from one area so that it represents the International Community as a whole.  

You can also post pictures from Simcity 4 if you wanna to show what kind of system you have designed yourself.

Heres a few examples of some superhighways and mega transit.

    Talk about crowded!  In Japan they have the same problems as Sao Paulo, except they hire many gaurds whose job it is to push people into the subways.
