The table below provides some data about the underground railway systems in six cities, focusing on the year of establishment, route length, and annual passenger volume.
Overall, there is a significant variance in both the length and the annual average of passengers among the cities examined. Furthermore, Tokyo was the most utilized system in the table.
On the one hand, the main feature that emerges from the table is that the longest underground railway system was in London (394 kilometers) with approximately 775 million passengers annually, which was established in 1863. In contrast, out of all the systems, Tokyo was the busiest system (1927 million passengers each year), with a length of 155 kilometers since 1927. Paris was the shortest system since 1900, and it experienced a moderate rate of passengers( 1,191 million individuals each year).
On the other hand, the underground systems in Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles reveal considerably shorter routes and lower passenger proportions. Washington DC’s underground railway was opened in 1976, covers 126 kilometers and serves 144 million passengers each year. Meanwhile, Kyoto, which opened in 1981, has the shortest network at merely 11 kilometers, catering to a modest 45 million passengers annually. Los Angeles, the most recent addition in 2001, has a length of 28 kilometers and records 50 million passenger
