World Metro List
The rankings in such a list may always remain somewhat controversial. One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here). Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail. In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
The graph above shows how the number of metro systems worldwide increased over time.
Data Table
Total number of metro systems listed: .
Table data provided by Jordi Serradell as of 27 April 2007.
Sorting mechanism by Mårten Svantesson.
This page updated 15 May 2007.
Stations counts interchange stations as multiple stations.
Stations* counts interchange stations as one station.
Notes N1-N7 see end of table.
Table 2 at the end of this page shows another 18 metro-like systems. See also the Metro Features List for more information about the metro systems (left or right track, air condition, walk-through trains, rubber-tyred trains etc.)
