The Sapporo subway system does not "consist of giant elevated tunnels." The system has a total 49 stations, 45 of which are completely underground. 2 of its 3 lines are completely underground. Only 25% of one line is above-ground, and of these 4 stations really only 1 or 2 are "elevated" -- most of this section runs on a normal embankment.
