For a century and a half now, the subway, which transports up to several million people a day to various points of the city, bypassing traffic jams, has been perceived as an integral part of life in any metropolis. And not only is it the most efficient way to unload the streets of cities with millions of people, the subway today is part of pop culture: exhibitions are held underground, movies are shot, and some stations have become independent works of art, which tourists from other countries come to see.
Hi, my name is Edgar Reed, and I’m going to tell you about the subways in Great Britain and America.

Subway

alt tegs

The subway is an off-street urban passenger transport system with shuttle trains running along it.

Interesting Facts About the London Subway:

1. In 1926 special “suicide pits” were made under the tracks because of the increasing number of passengers who wanted to throw themselves under the train.
2. Aldgate Station is built on a huge plague grave with more than 1,000 bodies buried in it.
3. Half a million mice live here.
4. Every week the underground escalators cover a distance equal to two trips around the globe.
5. The tunnels under the city curve greatly because they follow a medieval street plan.
6. Each train travels approximately 185,000 km annually.

Surprising facts about the New York Subway:

1. New York City is among the top 7 cities in the world in terms of subway ridership.
2. 40% of subway lines run on the surface, but this fact does not affect the speed of the trains.
3. 42nd Street, better known as Times Square, is the busiest subway station.
4. Americans, laying all the tracks of the New York City subway in one line, could reach Chicago.
5. The longest subway line is the A Line: its distance is 52 kilometers.
6. There is a special townhouse in Brooklyn that is actually a disguised subway entrance and ventilation shaft.
