List of metro systems

Here is an alphabetical listing of cities which have a metro (also called underground or subway) system.

This page uses the definition found on 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.

This page will include all systems that obey these characteristics, without regard to specific profile or technology (i.e. underground, at grade, above ground, monorail, linear-induction...)

On the other hand, systems that are called "metro" but are really light rail (mainly those not segregated from other traffic, such as tramways and streetcars) are not included here but in List of light-rail transit systems.
