Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, making comparisons where relevant.
The table compares the
subway
systems in six cities: London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles based on the date opened,
kilometers
of
route
, and
passengers
per
year
(in millions).
Overall
, it is evident from the table that the earlier the cities construct the underground railways, the longer
kilometers
of the
route
they reach, except for the
number
of
passengers
which Tokyo accommodates the most users.
To begin
, as the oldest underground railway, built in 1863, the London
subway
travels the longest distance at 394
kilometers
of
route
.
However
, it gains only 775 million users per
year
behind the other two constructed after it. Meanwhile, the Paris
subway
, which opened in 1900, has a higher
number
of
passengers
than London’s, totaling 1191.
In contrast
, the Tokyo
subway
gains the highest
number
of
passengers
amounting to 1927 even though it was established after London’s and Paris’s. In the meantime, other subways: Washington DC’s, Kyoto’s, and Los Angeles’s are the newest constructed in 1976, 1991, and 2001, respectively. Washington DC
subway
encompasses 126
kilometers
of
route
and carries 144 million
passengers
per
year
. Los Angeles follows behind Washinton DC in terms of both
kilometers
of
route
at 11 and the
number
of
passengers
at 50 million users per
year
. Kyoto,
on the other hand
, reaches the shortest distance at 11
kilometers
of
route
and is utilized by the smallest
number
of
passengers
per
year
at 45.
