The table reveals some information concerning the underground railway systems in six metropolitan cities.

London has the oldest underground railway system. Opened in as early as 1863, it is nearly 40 years older than the second oldest one in Paris, which was opened in 1900, and even more than 130 years older than the latest one in Los Angeles, which was opened in 2001. The one in Tokyo, opened in 1927, is the oldest one in Asia.

Besides its longest history, the underground railway in London is also the largest one, the length of route totalling 394 kilometres, which is almost twice as long as that of Paris, that length of the latter being 199 kilometres. By contrast, Kyoto and Los Angeles has the smallest underground railway systems, the length of which are only 11 kilometres and 28 kilometres, respectively.

What is interesting is that while Tokyo has only 155 kilometres of route, the system serves as many as 1927 million people per year, which ranks No. 1 in all six cities. Another city in Japan, Kyoto, has only 45 million passengers per year, being the least. But since its routes add up to only 11 kilometres, its efficiency is not as low as that of Washington. While the routes in Washington are over 10 times that of Kyoto, the system in the former serves only 3 times more people than does the latter.

All in all, the underground railroad systems in the six cities differ from one another in aspect of their ages, scales and efficiency.

該表顯示了有關(guān)六個大都市地下鐵路系統(tǒng)的一些信息。

倫敦有最古老的地下鐵路系統(tǒng)。早在1863年開業(yè)，它比1900年在巴黎開業(yè)的第二家老店老了近40年，甚至比2001年在洛杉磯開業(yè)的最新一家老店老了130多年。東京的一家于1927年開業(yè)，是亞洲最古老的一家。

除了最長的歷史外，倫敦的地下鐵路也是最大的，線路總長394公里，幾乎是巴黎的兩倍，巴黎的長度為199公里。相比之下，京都和洛杉磯擁有最小的地下鐵路系統(tǒng)，其長度分別只有11公里和28公里。

有趣的是，雖然東京只有155公里的線路，但該系統(tǒng)每年為多達19.27億人提供服務(wù)，在所有六個城市中排名第一。日本的另一個城市京都每年只有4500萬乘客，是最少的。但由于其航線加起來只有11公里，其效率并沒有華盛頓低。雖然華盛頓的航線是京都的10倍以上，但前者的系統(tǒng)服務(wù)的人數(shù)僅為后者的3倍。

總之，六個城市的地下鐵路系統(tǒng)在年齡、規(guī)模和效率方面各不相同。
