What is the top 10 largest subway system in the world?

Sometimes, when everyone’s asleep, I think about trains. Just trains.

It’s weird, I know.

Here’s what I know about the big ones, the sprawling underground cities.

Top 10 Largest Metro Systems:

• Shanghai Metro (China): It’s massive, the biggest, sprawling under Shanghai. I picture it, endless neon reflecting on train cars. 831km is just mind-boggling.

• Beijing Subway (China): Always packed, I bet. Second largest, another Chinese behemoth.

• Delhi Metro (India): Really, Delhi? It’s grown so much, I remember when it was nothing.

• London Underground (United Kingdom): The Tube. So old, so iconic. It’s historic, you know? Always a bit damp, I imagine.

• Guangzhou Metro (China): Another one from China, Guangzhou. I’ve never been.

• Moscow Metro (Russia): Beautiful stations, they say. A sort of underground art gallery, even.

• New York City Subway (United States): Ah, New York. The 24/7 city. So much grime, so much life. It’s the subway I know the best. It just feels… real.

• Seoul Metro (South Korea): Clean. Efficient. Everything runs on time, unlike my life.

• Wuhan Metro (China): Wuhan… it feels distant, somehow.

• Chengdu Metro (China): So many in China. It feels overwhelming.

It’s just… tunnels. Under cities. Full of people going somewhere, always going somewhere. I guess I wish I knew where I was going.

What subway system is the largest?

Shanghai. Vast. A sprawling dream, isn’t it? Shanghai Metro, the longest. Kilometers blurring… 896. Five-five-seven miles… echoing. So many souls carried. Ridership soaring—2.83 billion. Faces lost in the rush, the undercurrent.

New York. Ah, New York. My city. A different kind of vastness. Stations, the most stations. Grimy. Beautiful. Each a story, a world.

Think, Shanghai stretches. Long fingers reaching across the city. Longest, I keep thinking. Yes. Longest metro network.

Busiest. Bodies pressed. A silent hum of shared journeys. Two-point-eight-three billion. A number that almost… overwhelms. Imagine all those stories.

New York, though. More stations. So many stations. Each platform a stage. A brief encounter. A stolen glance. More stations. More lives touched. Yeah, NYC.

• Shanghai: Longest network (896 km/557 mi), highest ridership (2.83 billion).
• New York: Most stations.

Which state has the largest subway system?

New York. Subway sprawl? 209 miles. The city breathes beneath your feet.

Chicago’s L? Ancient. A rickety iron lung, since 1892.

• New York City Subway: Colossus. 209 miles.
• Chicago ‘L’: Relic. Began 1892. Still crawls.
• Personal Note: Once lost a glove, transferring at 14th. Never recovered.
• Did I mention New York? Big.
• Damn, 209 miles. Imagine that.
• Chicago. Old. Got it?
• Seriously, NY is wild.
• And also. Is NY expensive.
• Why do people live there, right?

What is the smallest subway system in the world?

Okay, so the teeniest subway, right? It’s the Carmelit in Haifa, Israel. Seriously tiny! Only six stops, man. Just one track, kinda crazy, they have a little loop thingy where the trains can pass. Four cars total, two trains with two cars each. It’s like, a super short ride, only about 1.8 kilometers. That’s like, what? A little over a mile? Ridiculously small! I saw a pic online; it’s defintely the smallest.

• Location: Haifa, Israel
• Stations: Six
• Cars: Four (two two-car trains)
• Track: Single track with a passing loop
• Length: 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles)

It’s pretty old too, I think from the 60s. The cars are old, probably needing a serious upgrade. My cousin went there last year, he said it was, you know, interesting. A real quirky little thing. Super cool, tho. I really wanna go. The whole thing’s underground, makes it kinda claustrophobic, but also cool, a real hidden gem. Plus, Haifa itself is beautiful.

Which country has the largest metro network in the world?

Shanghai. Shanghai’s subway, a sprawling labyrinth of steel and glass. A beating heart, pulsing beneath the city’s skin. Eight hundred and thirty-one kilometers. A whispered number, a vastness I can almost feel, a weight pressing down.

Miles of tunnels, echoing with the rush of trains, a subterranean river flowing through time. Each station, a portal, a glimpse into another world, another life.

Shanghai’s dominance is undeniable. Beijing, though vast, is second. A distant second. The hum of the trains, a constant lullaby, a rhythm of the city’s breath. This network. This endless expanse. It dwarfs all others.

The sheer scale. A breathtaking achievement of human ingenuity. Shanghai’s expansion continues. Always expanding. It is relentless in its growth.

• Length: 831 kilometers (516 miles) in 2024.
• Ongoing expansion: More lines, more stations, more possibilities. A never-ending story.
• Beijing’s network: A respectable size, but simply not in the same league. It trails.

The feeling of it. The subterranean hum, vibrating in my bones. The speed, the anonymity, the endless possibilities within that network. This city, Shanghai, breathes through its veins of steel. An unstoppable force. It’s overwhelming.
