The metro is one of the fastest transports in the world, in the sense that it offers us the possibility of moving from one city to another in just a few minutes . Much less than it would cost us to cross a large metropolis on asphalt, taking into account that we have to avoid traffic, traffic lights and construction sites.
In some countries this means of transport is known as the metro, but they are also often called suburban or underground, for the simple fact that the trains move underground. The first metro to be opened in the world was that of the city of London . It was the year 1863.
However, since then, countless subway systems have proliferated: all major cities have an infrastructure of these characteristics, be it shorter or longer. The metro with the most stations in the world is New York, although the longest (without a driver) is Dubai .
