Sure, the people of Sweden enjoy excellent health coverage and trendy crime thrillers and some of the most beautiful women on earth, but their aesthetically gorgeous subway stations in Stockholm aren't even open 24 hours a day. So don't get too jealous of this photo spread contrasting their Metro with our humble MTA, which is much older, much bigger, and doesn't need to tart itself up with a lot of meretricious flourishes to impress people. What's there to do in Stockholm, anyway? They don't even have that water festival anymore. [Via PSFK, more photos here]
