Absolutely. It's really funny, since to get from some pairs of stations which are literally a 5 minute walk from one another, one has to change trains and lines futher away - turning what could have been a chance for some exercise in the open into a twenty minute ordeal of waiting, standing, going up and down stairs and escalators, waiting standing and more walking up stairs and escalators.
