Public Transit Metrics across Five Global Metropolises
"The table below gives information about public transportation systems in five major cities (London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, and Sydney), including the number of routes, annual passenger journeys, and fare revenue. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant."
A data table presenting transit network statistics across London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, and Sydney across 3 specific indicators: Number of Routes, Annual Passengers (billions), and Annual Revenue (billion USD).
The table details key performance metrics for the public transit networks of five global cities: London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, and Sydney, highlighting route counts, annual ridership, and total revenue.
Overall, Tokyo transported by far the largest volume of commuters, whereas London generated the highest annual revenue. In contrast, Sydney registered the smallest figures across all three evaluated criteria.
Regarding passenger volume, Tokyo led the ranking decisively with 3.6 billion annual journeys, almost double that of New York (1.9 billion) and Paris (1.5 billion). London recorded a passenger intake of 1.2 billion, while Sydney accommodated the fewest passengers at just 0.4 billion.
In terms of network scale and finances, Paris operated the most extensive transit grid with 380 routes, closely followed by London (340 routes) and Tokyo (310 routes). Nevertheless, London generated the greatest financial intake at $7.2 billion, followed by Tokyo at $6.5 billion and New York at $5.8 billion. Sydney lagged significantly behind, maintaining only 110 routes and yielding a modest $1.4 billion in annual fares.
Examiner Rules for Statistical Table
- In table questions with many numbers, do NOT try to report every single cell. Examiners award high marks for selecting and grouping the most significant features.
