Answer 1

Tibet.

Answer 2

If you are talking about underground or subway, I can't answer, but I do know that Chicago is the largest freight terminal complex in the US, and Kansas City is second largest.

Answer 3

Quite separate from the Underground system, there is a huge

suburban rail system around London England. I doubt that any major city in the World has as dense and large a rail system.

Answer 4

Define "biggest".

Most stations?

Greatest route mileage?

Most passengers?

Greatest number of passenger-kilometres travelled? Greatest number of passenger vehicles?

Do you include the suburban network with the inner city system?

???

London has the biggest network in terms of stations and route mileage. But if you include suburban networks, then Tokyo has larger passenger flows.

Answer 5

London has the largest underground system and its suburban network includes Clapham Junction which is the busiest rail station in the world.

Answer 6

mumbai

Answer 7

I would say Chicago Ill because it was the hub in the US.

Answer 8

I agree with you, I believe it is Tokyo. As in many cases it comes down to the the definition of city and railway system. The big competitors to Tokyo will be London and New York, but with 40% of the worlds daily train journeys taken in Japan each day. I agree that it is Tokyo.

Answer 9

Tokyo or London.
