The graph below
illustrates some essential dates about subway railway systems in six cities
from developed countries (London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Kyoto and Los
Angeles).
London underground is the
oldest and largest, which was founded in 1863, and nowadays, it has a route of
394 kilometer; however, it is in the third place in number of passage per year;
while Tokyo and Paris are the most popular respectively. Moreover, those two
are older too; Paris metro was founded in 1900 (and the route is 199
kilometer), followed by Tokyo in 1927 (and a route of 155K).
Otherwise, Washington DC
railway system is working since 1976 with an extension of 126 K, and it is
visited by 144 million people per year.
Kyoto and Los Angeles
subways are the newest, but with 20 years between each other (1981 and 2001 respectively).
They are the shortest and less populated too.
Summarizing, there are important
differences between all those railway systems, but in general the oldest are
longer and more crowd.
