New York's 722+ miles of tracks make it the longest subway system in the world, larger than those of London, Paris, Tokyo, or Seoul. (pre 1995-ish figures) That comes out to 6,400 cars, 469 stations, and an average of 2.7 million riders services per day. The NYC Transit Police Department employed nearly 4,000 officers as of 1992, which ranked it among the top ten largest police forces in the country. http://www.greenmanreview.com/underground_harmonies.html Further info: Passengers carried per day London 3 million Paris 4.4 million Moscow 9 million Tokyo 7 million Prague 1.2 million Mexico City 4.2 million New York 4.7 million Number of Stations and lines London 275 stations, 12 lines Paris 297 stations, 14 lines Moscow 162 stations, 11 lines Tokyo 209 stations, 12 lines Prague 50 stations, 3 lines Mexico City 175 stations, 11 lines New York 468 stations, 25 lines Cost of a ticket London 90p to £5.30 (10 zones) - no flat fares Paris 80p flat fare Moscow 12p flat fare Tokyo 90p to £1.68 Prague 24p flat fare Mexico City 11p flat fare New York £1.03 flat fare http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/london_underground/78234 Jan 14 04, 12:18 PM
