 Carmelit 0.73 million (2004) [114][citation needed] - ^ The figure is derived from ridership statistics of the two subway operators in Tokyo; passengers transferring between systems are counted twice. The Tokyo Metro and the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation's Toei Subway constitute only a small percentage of all metropolitan railway ridership in Greater Tokyo (282 out of 1,983 railway stations[citation needed]). Compared to European or North American systems, Japanese rapid transit systems are generally neither thought of as metros nor as completely subterranean "subways." In addition, when one considers intracity lines of JR East and private railway companies, Greater Tokyo (130 lines) has higher daily ridership than any other metropolitan area in the world.[citation needed]
- ^ The figure is derived from ridership of two operators in Seoul: Seoul Metro 1,446,924,426 (Jan 2008 ~ Dec 2008) (Seoul Metro Statistics), and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation(SMRT) 600,901,676 (Jan 2008 ~ Dec 2008) (Yearly Statistics). This figure counts only gate-passers, so it only includes the two systems' riders. Passengers from Incheon Subway, Korail metropolitan railroad system and A'REX are excluded. (2.279 billion if all included)
- ^ Does not include Port Authority Trans-Hudson ridership, or ridership on the Staten Island Railway.
- ^ The figure for Paris only includes the "métro". Traffic including the RER lines operated by the RATP reaches 1,863 million passengers yearly.
- ^ Intercity, Light Rail & Feeder Bus excluded.
- ^ Does not include ridership on Docklands Light Railway (60 million), London Overground (100 million) and National Rail (1.5 billion) journeys within Greater London. (Roughly 2.9 billion if all included)
- ^ The Osaka Municipal Subway has only a minority share of all metropolitan railway ridership in Greater Osaka (101 out of 245 railway stations[citation needed]).
- ^ Include ridership of both operators - SMRT Corporation and SBS Transit
- ^ Include only M2 line.
