List of metro systems - Definition and Overview

This is an alphabetical list of cities worldwide that have a metro rail system . Metros are rapid transit systems and are sometimes referred to as a subway or underground.

This page uses the definition found in the metro article, under which a metro system:

  1. is urban,
  2. has a short headway (interval between trains),
  3. is electric,
  4. operates entirely on its own right-of-way.

Light rail systems, such as those not segregated from other traffic, like tramways and streetcars are not included here but in List of light-rail transit systems.

There is also a list of commuter and suburban rail systems.

Notes

Note 1: There are four systems in KCR. East Rail shares track with inter-city and freight trains on most but not all of its tracks. West Rail was designed as a commuter railway like East Rail, but contains only within-Hong Kong service currently, and is operating as a metro. The third one is the Light Rail system. A fourth one, the Ma On Shan Rail, is a branch of East Rail containing only local passenger service.

The East Rail was opened in 1910 as part of a raillink to Canton (now Guangzhou), the Kowloon-Canton Railway, with some local service. It was electrified in the early 1980s, and over 95% of services on its track are now metro-like passenger service within Hong Kong's territories.
