is noted to be the first to operate. It

runs the longest distance,

while

on the total annual number of passengers, Tokyo takes the lead. For the starting years of the railways, London commenced its system in 1863, the first among the cities in the study. Exactly 37 years later, Paris followed. The cities of Tokyo, Washington DC and Kyoto initiated theirs in 1927, 1976 and 1981 respectively. The

last

to open among them was the underground train system of Los Angeles in 2001. Noticeably, the length of the courses of the train systems is not directly proportional to the total number of people that use them on an annual basis. London’s
