The table represents information on the systems
of underground railway in six different urban areas.
Overall, the newer the underground railway
system is, the shorter route it has except for the system in Los Angeles. In addition,
the passengers using underground railways systems in Paris and Tokyo are much
more than those in the others.

railways system in London opened in 1868 has the longest route, at 394 million kilometres
and the second longest went on that in Paris opened in 1900, amounting to 199 million
kilometres. While the figures for Tokyo and Washington DC which started to run
in 1927 and 1976, are 155 million kilometres and 126 million kilometres, respectively,
those for the others are less than 30 million kilometres. In terms of passengers
utilizing the systems in different cities per year, Kyoto has the lowest number
of passengers, at 45 and this is followed by Los Angeles and Washington DC,
accouting for 50 and 144. By contrast, it is notable that 1927 passengers use
the system in Tokyo, showing the highest number among the cities. This is
followed by Paris in which 1191 people use the system.
