Do metro systems in your country’s cities have convex mirrors in them?

1. I haven’t really noticed any in Copenhagen, but I’m guessing we don’t have any, it wouldn’t make sense anyway, I believe we have one of the most modern metros in Europe and it’s also driverless.

2. We do have mirrors at the end of the platform for the driver to double check if the doors can be closed safely / they were correctly closed:

   But that’s it, we don’t usually have them in other places around the stations because they use to be big enough for not clashing with anybody at the corners.

3. I wish I could answer this question with yes or no. Unfortunately we don’t have any metros.

4. The tube has convex mirrors? I’m not saying it’s not there, I just never noticed it in my three years. Is it on all lines? (I mostly used central and bakerloo).

   As another commentor said, it’s not a thing in Copenhagen

5. Unfortunately we don’t even have trams, let alone a metro system. And we can probably only dream of having one

6. Idk how it’s like in other cities, but in Turin our only metro line is [fully automated](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9hicule_Automatique_L%C3%A9ger) so no drivers nor mirrors are needed!

7. Not as I’ve noticed. At the underground stations there are several screens lined up at the end of the platform for the driver to see from different cameras along the platform, I guess. Elsewhere in stations I haven’t seen any, but there are quite few stations in Oslo which are below ground. The few which are under ground are not particularly deep and not consisting of a myriad of narrow tunnels or corridors like in London, where you walk for several miles like some kind of mole or rat to reach just another pair of stairs and following corridors.

8. Do you mean the mirrors in the corridors where people walk?

   If you mean those mirrors, then I have not seen them in Germany. But usually you just go down an escalator/stair here and you are on a platform. If it’s a longer way it is more open than in London. I haven’t experienced it anywhere else that I have to walk through a corridor with turns (and mirrors so you don’t run into anybody) for 5 minutes to get to the platform. As that can be the case in London I actually find the mirrors quite helpful.
