Talk:Metro systems by number of stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does the London figure include Docklands Light Railway stations?

Does Sydney qualify? It has 302 stations (see here) but the system is a hybrid of metro, mainline, and intercity.

[edit] Munich

Munich U-Bahn — 91 station. Does number 229 also include suburban trains stations?--Sascha. 14:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

And the actual figure for Berlin (U-Bahn only) is 170 stations, according to its article. I will change the figures when I work out what are the real ten biggest systems. - ҉ Randwicked ҉ 03:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

So Berlin will be at number 9 with 170. I can't find any others bigger than the Chicago 'L' with 144 stations, so that must be number 10. - ҉ Randwicked ҉ 06:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tokyo

The numbers for Tokyo only include Tokyo Metro and Toei, the two subway companies in Tokyo. If anyone knows about Tokyo, Tokyo has an extensive network of rapid trainsit outside of the subway companies, for example the Tokyo Monorail, is not included in the list of stations. The Tokyo Monorail handles 300,000 passengers a day, with over 500 cars, by every definition it should be included in the numbers here. The Rinkai Line in Tokyo is an underground rapid transit that runs mainly underground in Tokyo, again its numbers are not included. The Tama Monorail, and many other private rapid transit systems that run in Tokyo are not included in the numbers here. Not to mention lines such as the Yamanote Line which by all definitions is a rapid trainsit line that operates wholly within Tokyo. I think the problem arises because Tokyo is a very unquie city with its transportation network, you have, private rail, and public-private rail, and public rail operators.
