The table below provides statistics on several major metro (MRT) systems around the world. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main feature and make comparisons where relevant.

A glance at the table provided reveals a number of clear differences between the major

metro

systems

of the world in terms of age, scale and annual carrying capacity. One particularly interesting fact highlighted by the figure is that the more recently established

metro

systems

are considerably shorter than the older ones. Completed in 1863, the London
