The given table illustrates information about six underground railway systems in six different major cities, including date opened, the length of the routes in kilometers, and the number of passengers in millions each year.
Overall, it is clearly seen that London has the oldest and longest railway system, while Tokyo records the highest number of passengers annually. By contrast, Kyoto and Los Angeles have much smaller systems with significantly fewer passengers.
Looking at the table in more detail, the underground railway system of London was built in 1863, recording the longest railway among six cities. Followed by Paris, opened in 1990, has the second longest length which is 199 kilometers. However, although Tokyo, starting in 1927, has the shortest railway system among 3 cites, it reaches the highest figure of passengers per year while Paris and London reach at 1191 and 775 million passengers annually.
By contrast, the Kyoto railway system, which opened in 1981, has the smallest route length of just 11 kilometers and the lowest number of passengers, recording at 45 people per year. In addition, Los Angeles, operated in 2001, also has a short route (28 kilometers) and relatively low usage (50 million passengers).
