The table chart provides information about several subway lines in six big cities (London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles). Overall, the data indicates that the subway lines in London, Paris, and Tokyo are the older, also having the longer distances and carrying the higher number of passengers annually compared to three other countries in the same matter.
According to the illustration, as the oldest line among the six cities, the London underground built in 1863 also boasts the longest track at 394 km. However, it carries only 775 passangers annually, which is fewer than the second and third busiest railway lines in Paris and Tokyo, respectively, with 1191 and 1927 passengers each year. Tokyo despite having the third in terms of the age of its railway lines but records the highest number of passengers carried annually, at 1927, which is noteworthy as it matches the year the railway was built. Meanwhile, Paris, with subway lines established in 1900 covering 199 km, records the annual passengers at 1191, just under Tokyo’s.
Conversely, the subway systems in Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles, which also highlight several important facts. While the railway tracks in Los Angeles built in 2001 with 28 km length of subway line and having only 50 passengers annually, the subway in Washington DC was built 25 years earlier, occupy 126 km and accomodates approximately three times more than Los Angeles in terms of the annual passengers. Looking further, Kyoto, its line started operating in 1981, has only 11 km railway track and serve 45 passengers annually, making it as the city with the shortest railway and the fewest passengers per year.
