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.
