Urban Rail

Oldest Metros

London

Glasgow

Budapest

Paris

Boston

I was researching this last night.  Under rapid transit, the dates were different than under subway.  London was first in rapid transit (above ground) and underground. then, after London, the dates get confusing, depending on what you mean by metro (above ground, underground).  Paris has been mentioned second in several, in the underground category.  But Paris, Boston, Glasgow and Budapest are all within a year or two of one another.  i think NYC is 1904. - 2009 e-mail
