The table provides information on underground railway systems in six significant cities, detailing the year each system was inaugurated, the total length of their routes in
kilometres
, and the annual number of passengers
in millions.
London's underground system, being the oldest, opened in 1863 and boasts the longest route
at 394 kilometres
. Despite its extensive network, it only ranks third in terms of passenger
numbers, with 775 million
users per year. On the other hand
, Tokyo, which opened in 1927, has the highest number of passengers
annually at 1928 million
, despite having a shorter route
length of 155 kilometres
.
Paris,
opened in 1900, has a Remove the comma

route
length of 199 kilometres
and serves 1191 million
passengers
annually, making it second in passenger
usage. Meanwhile, newer systems like Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles have significantly smaller route
lengths and passenger
numbers. For instance
, Kyoto, with just 11 kilometres
of route
, caters to 45 million
passengers
per year, while
Los Angeles, with 28 kilometres
, serves 50 million
annually.
Overall
, older and more extensive underground systems tend to have higher passenger
numbers, although
exceptions like Tokyo highlight that efficiency and population density can also
significantly influence ridership.Submitted by eparfenenkov on
