World Metro Database

You might want to start with one of the predefined tables (Basics, Numerics, Features, Complete), then add columns or click to remove a column. Move columns < left or > right. Click headers to sort, click again to reverse sorting direction. Switch unit to miles if desired. Right-click here to bookmark current World Metro Table.

A list like this and the rail systems that appear in it may always be somewhat controversial. One reason is that definitions of what a metro is vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here). Differences between commuter rail, metros and trams are increasingly fading as new hybrid trains make it easier for metros to include sections on streets or heavy-rail tracks. In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from former tram or rail lines, so it is sometimes difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of the metro system.

Numerical data (except ridership) by Jordi Serradell 09/2010. Ridership data by John Kennes 07/2010. Ticket prices by UBS: Prices and Earnings (PDF, p. 20) 2009. Non-numerical data by Mike Rohde 10/2010.

'Stations*' (with an asterisk) counts each interchange station as one. Daily ridership is annual ridership divided by 365 (for convenience; please note that weekday and weekend ridership may differ significantly and refer to the Annual Ridership column if desired). Ticket prices are for 10 km or 10 stops Price of a single ticket for the public transport network (bus, streetcar or metro) for a journey of approx. 10 km/6 miles or at least 10 stops (2009). Only one logo per city is shown.
