After a lot of BS Darrin and I decided to look on the web for comparisons between the London Underground and the New York Subway.

It turns out that the tube wins for:

  • oldest 1863 vs 1904
  • route miles 253 vs 233
  • deepest station 192ft vs 180ft while NY wins for:
  • stations 468 vs 275
  • % underground 67% vs 42%
  • passengers per year 1.3bn vs 1.0 bn
