The world's oldest subway system compared to others

In New York the system isn't wonderful but its self-monitoring quasi-public authority, reported that on-time performance reached 95% last year. Lots better than London's failure on seven counts.

Mexico's subway is very crowded, but as Mexico City is the largest City in the world, what can we expect. However, it has set aside first three carriages for women and children in response to complaints about sexual harassment in the crowded conditions.

And in the daytime in Prague it is rare to wait longer than three minutes for the next train, at night no longer than ten minutes.
