We have not tested it ourselves: strengths and weaknesses below come from the tests cited.
The set is built around a city metro. The maker says the metro station features mechanical sliding doors, platform seats and set pieces such as a map and a ticket machine for metro roleplay, and that the red metro train makes more light and train sounds the faster it is pushed. The set also includes a tunnel, a buffer stop, two carriages and two figures. The maker describes the set as helping children discover the world in a playful way using recognisable scenarios from the real world.
The maker lists 20 pieces: 1 train, 2 carriages, 1 station, 1 tunnel, 2 figures, 1 suitcase, 1 buffer stop, 1 ticket machine, 1 map, 1 map base, 7 curved tracks and 1 junction track. The maker rates it for ages 3 and up and marks it as a battery, sound and light product. It says the set is fully compatible with other BRIO sets, tracks and trains, using the switching track, and that the trains, wagons and carriages have the classic BRIO magnetic couplings. The maker says BRIO products are made from very high-quality plastic and European beech wood from sustainable sources, and that all the wood in its toys comes from FSC certified sources. BRIO's care advice for electronic and battery powered toys says they are not water-resistant and should never be washed with water, and should be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth. It adds that batteries should be removed when not in use, that the battery cover should be checked as securely fastened before play, that these products are not designed for disassembly, and that plastic surfaces can fade over the years, so strong sunlight is best avoided.

It suits parents buying a wooden railway set with a city theme for a child of 3 or older, as the maker rates it, and families who already own BRIO track and want a station and a sound train. Households looking for a countryside or freight theme should look at a different BRIO set.

BRIO Curved Switching Tracks, a pack of two curved switches, is sold by the maker as an expansion for extending and creating new layouts.
