The table gives information about underground railway systems in six major cities with date opened, kilometers of route and passengers number per year in millions.
The table illustrates the data on the number of passengers in millions, the length in kilometers of six subway systems and when they were introduced.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that earlier subways had more commuters and covered longer distances compared to more recent ones. Tokyo’s railway system had the most passengers by far, while London’s was opened earliest and registered the longest route.
Tokyo’s railway system was introduced in 1927, accounting for the highest number of passengers at 1927 million, which was significantly higher than two earlier subways in Paris (1900) and London (1863), representing 1191 million and 775 million, respectively. In terms of their lengths, London was longest, recording 394 kilometers in total, followed by Paris and Tokyo, with the former registering 199 kilometers and the latter 155 kilometers.
Turning to newer railways, the Los Angeles’s subway system was most recently opened in 2001, which saw a comparable figure in the data for passengers with Kyoto’s, accounting for 50 million and 45 million, in turn. Both railways shared relatively short travel distances, with the subway in Los Angeles being more than double Kyoto’s statistics at 28 and 11 kilometers, for each. Lastly, Washington DC’s railway was established in 1976, extending for 126 kilometers and serving 144 million passengers annually.
