‘The two maps below show the changes in the town of Denham from 1986 to the present day. Summarie the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.’
The table illustrates information regarding the undergrown
railway
systems of six different cities. In particular
, the opening date, the kilometres
of the route and the number of passengers
each year can be seen.
The most notable feature is the opening date of London
, which precedes the second oldest railway
, Paris
of almost 40 years. More precisely, London
underground opened in 1863, while
Paris
in 1900. After them, there is Tokyo, which opened in 1927, and after that in thirty years from 1976 to 2001 Washington, Kyoto and Los Angeles developed their own underground. Furthermore
, London
has the longest railway
system, with 394 kilometres
, followed again by Paris
, with 199 and Tokyo with 155. On the other hand
, Los Angeles and Kyoto are the only cities with under 100 kilometres
of railway
, which is respectively 11 km and 28 km. Conversely
, regarding the number of passengers
, Tokyo’s underground is by far the most used, with 1,9 billion passengers
each year, 800 million more than Paris
and more than 1 billion more than London
. The other three cities have limited numbers in comparison, with DC underground which serves 144 million passengers
each year, Los Angeles at 50 and Kyoto at 45.
In conclusion, it can be said that there are some major differences in all the categories between the three oldest undergrounds and the others, with the exception of kilometres
of route, in which Paris
and Tokyo are more similar to DC than London
