Copenhagen Metro the world’s best metro

Copenhagen Metro won the World’s Best Metro Award at The Metros Awards Ceremony held yesterday at Hotel D’Angleterre in Copenhagen, Denmark.

While The Metros may sound like an April Fools’ Day joke to some, a Metro Award is awarded by the metro industry as “[...] recognition of the urban rail industry’s achievements and contributions to the forward development of the industry.”

Copenhagen Metro is just over 5 years old and was up against much older and larger finalist such as London Underground and Metro de Madrid.

It is of course good to know that industry people think highly of the Danish system, however for travellers it is even better news that 98% of Copenhagen Metro’s passengers are either “satiesfied or very satisfied” with the service according to a customer survey carried out by Copenhagen Metro.
