Check the Id of the dots, they need to match the hint of your answers. You can also set the class=zoomable-circle and make them bigger, which will retain the size of dot when the map is zoomed.

Lot of cities missing, depends on what is considered a metro system:

Porto, Valencia, Sevilla, Malaga (only in Iberian Peninsula)

From the source I have used, both are listed as trams and not light rails.

I like the legend in the bottom right corner. It looks slick!

Also props to tiny Lausanne for having both a metro line and a light rail system.

Great quiz! Some considerations:

Serfaus in Austria has a metro.

Light Rail is a really vague and inconsistent term as some cities with standard tram or metro systems call them Light Rail - for example the Nottingham Express Transit is just a normal tram, while the 'Rouen Metro', which markets itself as a Light Rail, isn't included in this quiz. Probably better to just include every non-heritage tramway at that point.

Serfaus has a people mover and not a metro.

As for Nottingham and Rouen, the source I have used lists them as light rail and tram respectively. I'd rather stick to one consistent source than open a whole can of worms. Upon further inspection, both the systems can be classified as either tram of light rail depending on the criteria. The line is very blurry and though yeah having all tram systems would remove that, it is not my intent with the quiz. There is no perfect list but this is best we have got.
