Public Transit in Duckburg and Mouseton

[pollux]

Which public transit systems do the cities have?

According to Don Rosa, Scrooge build a lot of rail connections to the city after he choose her as his homebase and transformed it into a global financial center while in NewDuckTales Duckburg was shown to possess a large metro network.

Whatever the specific story requires.

Well, as I picture Mouseton and Duckburg as highly populated American cities, I image them to have buses, intercities coach services, subways, tramways, regional and national trains...and all of them working very badly.

Public transit is usually very bad in America. Most cities, even major ones, do not have intra-city rail transit.

Barks and others of Western Publications Disney artists and European Disney artists have portrayed city buses, commuter buses, national trains, trams/streetcars, and even monorails(only in a few individual futuristic stories).  I have seen no portrayal of underground rapid local trains.  I have seen elevated trains, but they seemed to be national trains, rather than rapid transit, local, commuter trains.

There's this story, The Lost Subway. This appears to involve the lost station of an abandoned subway (I'm going by GoogleTranslate's English version of the Polish summary, so no promises, here!).

Also, the Karp/Taliaferro strips included subways a few times.

There have at least been cover illustrations involving subways--you can find some of them if you put "subway" in the keyword search on Inducks. I find one with HDL, one with the Beagle Boys, and two with Mickey. A couple of them could be above-ground metros, but two are clearly subways. I don't know whether any of those covers indicates a story involving a subway.

Readcomiconline.to has the english version of The Lost Subway which was printed by Gemstone.

As far as I know, Barks portrayed tram or lightrail lines and commuter rail within the city, besides buses. I cannot remember a metro system.

In Topolinia 20802, Mickey takes the subway to work every day.

Mouseton looks like a real metropolis there.

In "Rockerduck e i suoi fratelli" (I TL 2539-1) they want to build a new subway line in Duckburg, so it supports stories that speak of a pre-existing subway

I remember a story which was all about public transport trouble in Duckburg. Donald has been struggling with taking the bus during a whole day, and so he keeps all the used tickets to do pop art, showing it to Daisy.
"Donald and the Ace Convention", written by Fabio Michelini and drawn by Silvia Ziche.

The cover art refers to the story, but shows Donald using a subway train, even though the story is focused on buses. It also uses a title referring to an old French expression: "Métro, boulot, dodo" (Subway, work, sleep)
