I think I found a rough barometer to measure how upbeat or relaxed a major city is.

Look at the speed of the information scrolling or changing on next stop displays in your modern subway or other transit vehicle. Changing quickly like #NYC is an upbeat city while slow scrolling like #Vancouver is a relaxed city.

Where does your city fit in? #transit #trains #city #Boston #Seattle @citylife

What about metro cars that have actual screens, e.g. in Berlin?
