This is a list of the longest underground/surface/elevated subways, metros and rapid transit modules of the world. Metropolitan railways are urban, electric transport systems with high capacity and a high frequency of service. Metros are totally independent from other traffic, road or pedestrians. They are consequently designed in tunnel, viaducts or on surface level but with physical separation. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ...
