Question

  Many large cities have a subway system (系统）. The subway is called tube in London. In San Francisco,it is called BART ( Bay Area Rapid Transit). Some subway systems,like Chicago’s，are quite old. It opened in 1897. Others are more recent. For example,Mexico City’s subway started in 1969.

  Most subways are very modern and clean，but sometimes they get very crowded. So people have to follow certain (确定的）rules to make the trip more comfortable. In London，when people use the tube，they must stand on the right so that people in a hurry can walk on the left. They let passengers get off the train before others get on，and people are expected to give their seats to the old and disabled people.

  Some subways provide excellent services (服务）.

In most subways,there is a station about every one kilometer. Trains arrive at a station about every two minutes. Subways carry a lot of passengers. The number of people traveling one way each hour in London can be about 30,000. In some other cities it is much higher. Hong Kong’s subway holds the record of about 80，000 passengers an hour!
