The table illustrates the subway stations in six countries
by date opened, distance of route distance (measured in km) and passenger
numbers per year (measured in millions, m). Apparently, higher passenger
numbers are marked amongst the earliest stations opened
earlier which also have longer routes than the later built subways.
Looking at the details, the highest number of passengers
is noted by Tokyo with 1927 m passengers, which has the third longest route
(155km), which was also the third built station in 1927. Paris has the second
highest number
of passengers (1191 m), second longest route (199 km) and was also
the second built station in 1900. While, the first built railway was London in
1863, it has the longest route of 394 km and had
carries the third highest number of passengers
(775 m). Washington DC on the other hand, marked at fourth rank of all
categories (built in 1976, 126 km route, and 144 m passengers)
The later built underground stations,
of Kyoto and Los Angeles were built in 1981 and 2001 respectively and
they have relatively way shorter routes than that of the older
stations (11 and 28 km respectively). Both can only
bear little The subways of Kyoto and
Los Angeles carry less number of passengers compared to the earliest
stations (45 and 50 m respectively).
