The table gives a data about the underground railway systems in several cities, namely London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Kyoto and LA between 1863 and 2001.
From an overall perspective, it can be seen from the diagram that subway was the most popular type of transport in Tokyo and followed by Paris it showed a fewer figure. For the other regions it was much less than these two.
Regarding to Tokyo, which was opened in 1927 and has the biggest number of passengers, stood at 1927 millions and the length of way constituted 155 km. Initially, Paris, whom metros were launched in 1900, pointed at 1191 millions of commuters with 199 kilometres of route, while London underground railways, which were opened first in this table in 1863, had the longest kilometres of route (394 km), but the amount of travellers illustrated 775 m.
On the other hand, Kyoto had the smallest railway in the world with about 11 km. As well as this route carries around 45 million locals who use their train system per year. Therefore, according to date opened, it is readily that Los Angeles is the newest in this list and has carried much more passengers than Kyoto (50 millions).
