The first metro of world as underneath was London's tube. It was craft by mixing of various great designers of that era. 


It concluded the work of Johnston typeface (Edward Johnston 1916), the roundel logo (Frank Pick 1918), and the diagrammatic map (Henry C. Beck 1933).

This was an amazing idea and mind blowing plan that is working in its original and perfect condition without any alteration and changing.



Other metros of world also got inspiration by this maga project and it looks like all the metros that build after London’s underground are like novice against the London’s metro, one reason is probably that London’s underground has something novel in its making and creation by the engineers of that era.
