Talk:Metro systems by number of stations

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.

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

Note from 18-05-08:

Concerning Tokyo, I would count only four rail transit authorities in Tokyo: TRTA, Toei, Rinkai, Yurikamome. Yamanote Line is the part of standard railway realm. And Monorail is the monorail, which, in the case of Tokyo is the transportation to Haneda Airport, rather than mass transit.

In addition to standard Toei line we should add newly opened Nippori-Toneri Liner. It is the so called Automated Guideway Transit, which however, completely satisfies the definition what metro is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.39.228.137 (talk) 16:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do we count stations? It seems that stations are counted in different ways in different cities. Take a look at the World Metro List. It has two columns for number of stations. One that counts interchange stations as multiple stations, and the other that counts interchange stations as one station. I would prefer the latter. --Kildor (talk) 16:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. So Prague Metro has only 51 stations instead of 54. Nazgul02 (talk) 13:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the ever expanding Incheon Subway is integrated with that of Seoul, should those stations be counted here? Also, what of the light right that is being built now? DaronDierkes (talk) 02:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In Moscow Metro, the term light metro is used incorrectly for BLLM, unless it sounds good. The only differences of this line from the others are the number of vagons, the length of platforms and mostly estacade construction. Still it is the part of Moscow Metro, it's not separated from it. The rolling stock, service, management etc are common, as it's considered to be one of the lines of MM. // vh16^ru talk 17:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

this ranking lacks Milan (90 stations) and Rome (50) subway systems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.14.38 (talk) 13:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
