A metro system is a rapid transit train system. In some cases, metro systems are referred to as subways or undergrounds. The first metro system, the London Underground, was opened in 1863. , there are approximately 140 metro systems in the world.

Considerations

A metro system is defined as an urban, electric passenger transportation system with high capacity and high frequency of service, which is totally independent from other traffic, road or pedestrians. The terms heavy rail (mainly in North America) and heavy urban rail often have similar definitions.

The dividing line between metro and other modes of public transport, such as light rail and commuter rail, is not always clear. A common way to distinguish metro from light rail is by their separation from other traffic. While light rail systems may share roads or have level crossings, a metro system runs, almost always, on a grade-separated exclusive right-of-way, with no access for pedestrians and other traffic. And in contrast to commuter rail, metro systems are primarily used for transport within a city, and have higher service frequency, typically not more than 10 minutes between trains during normal daytime service. Furthermore, most metro systems do not share tracks with freight trains or inter-city rail services. It is however not relevant whether the system runs on steel wheels or rubber tyres, or if the power supply is from a third rail or overhead lines.

The name of the system is not a criterion for inclusion. Some cities use metro as a brand name for a transit line with no component of rapid transit whatsoever. Similarly, there are systems branded light rail that meet every criteria for being a rapid transit system. Some systems also incorporate light metro or light rail lines as part of the larger system under a common name. These are listed, but the light rail lines are not counted for in the provided network data. Certain transit networks match the technical level and service standards of metro systems, but reach far out of the city and are commonly known or better described as regional or commuter rail. These are not included. Neither are monorail and funicular systems, or people movers, such as amusement park, ski resort and airport transportation systems.

Legend

Location: Country, and primary city served by the metro system.
Name: The most common English name of the system.
Opened: The year the system was opened for commercial service with metro standard. Parts of the system may be older, as parts of a former light rail or commuter rail network.
Stations: The number of station in the network, with stations connected by transfer counted as one. If in brackets it means that additional stations are constructed. The total number, then would be in brackets, apart from total without the new stations.
No. of lines: The number of lines currently on the system. If in brackets also contains routes currently constructed. If written as n+n, means number of underground lines + number of pre-metro lines (or RER, S-bahn etc.).
Length: The route length of the network in kilometers and miles.

Notes

Trial operation since 1969. Fully operational and open to public since 1981.
The Berlin S-Bahn may be considered a hybrid between rapid transit and a suburban railway. Urbanrail.net consider it to be a full rapid transit system, while others, like World Metro List, The International Association of Public Transport, and Bombardier, indicate that the S-Bahn is a suburban or commuter railway system.
Thessaloniki Metro Extensions
Parts of Line 1 and Line 3 overlaps with conventional railways that were built before 1974.
Line 50, 53, and 54 are rapid transit. Numbers exclude light rail line 51.
