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.

该表显示了有关六个大都市地下铁路系统的一些信息。

伦敦有最古老的地下铁路系统。早在1863年开业，它比1900年在巴黎开业的第二家老店老了近40年，甚至比2001年在洛杉矶开业的最新一家老店老了130多年。东京的一家于1927年开业，是亚洲最古老的一家。

除了最长的历史外，伦敦的地下铁路也是最大的，线路总长394公里，几乎是巴黎的两倍，巴黎的长度为199公里。相比之下，京都和洛杉矶拥有最小的地下铁路系统，其长度分别只有11公里和28公里。

有趣的是，虽然东京只有155公里的线路，但该系统每年为多达19.27亿人提供服务，在所有六个城市中排名第一。日本的另一个城市京都每年只有4500万乘客，是最少的。但由于其航线加起来只有11公里，其效率并没有华盛顿低。虽然华盛顿的航线是京都的10倍以上，但前者的系统服务的人数仅为后者的3倍。

总之，六个城市的地下铁路系统在年龄、规模和效率方面各不相同。
