    The vaporetto (water bus) in Venice, Italy has a schematic map like a subway map.
    Indeed, there are strong similarities in colours / fonts / icons to the iconic New York City subway map(s)…
    It would be an amazing job, seeing that city from the water every day, and yes, I am romanticizing it of course!
    (I had the pleasure of spending most of a Sunday every week in Venice for an Italian winter, as we transferred clients to and from the Dolomites, such an amazing, rich city!)

  2. The world's largest 'triple' / third order island, at least 'so far' - that is, the world's largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island
    Victorian Kitikmeot Island (also known as Inception Island), Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada
    Most likely no human has ever set foot on this island (????)
