The table demonstrates the number of people who are making a trip and the cost of single ticket that they pay, including the distance travelled in six underground systems of different cities.
Overall, the Beijing Subway is the most frequently used modes of transport, while the London Tube covers the highest prices for one ticket but the number of annual trips is the least. Meanwhile, the New York City Subway is the longest distance, and the second is the Beijing Subway.
The Beijing Subway accounts for the highest number of journeys , with passengers taking 3.6 billions trips per year on average, and the Tokyo Subway is the second number, with 3.1 billions trips per year. In contrast, the London Tube is used only 1.2 billions trips annually, despite it covers the highest cost of single ticket, with 7.30 US dollars. TheParis Metro, the Mexico City Metro, and the New York City Subway fell between these extremes, with 1.5, 1.6, and 1.65 billions trips respectively.
In terms of cost, the London Tube is the most expensive, at 7.30 US dollars per ticket, but it isn’t the greatest distance. Meanwhile , the Mexico City Metro is the cheapest at just 0.23 US dollars, and it isn’t the shortest commute also. This pattern indicates that cost of tickets isn’t influenced by the distance of travel.
