The Ministry of Railways also operated metropolitan railway
systems, or metros, in major cities. In 1987 eleven cities had one
or more metro lines in operation, and ten others were either
building or planning to build lines (see
table 43, Appendix A). In
late 1986, the length of all lines on the metro systems was 457
kilometers, and over 4.6 billion passengers rode on the combined
metro systems in that year. The eleven cities' operating systems
had a fleet of about 5,950 passenger railcars in 1986.
