The first subway (underground trains) system began in London in 1868. New York City created their own subway in 1907. Buenos Aires started the first subway in Latin America in 1913. Tokyo, Japan was the next major city to begin an underground system in 1927. Moscow, Russia in 1935. Because subway systems are so expensive, only large cities are able to pay for their construction. However, as the world’s population continues to grow, it’s not just the world’s largest cities that see the value in subways. In 1940 there were only 6 subway systems, all in the world’s largest cities. Today there are over 150 cities with underground transits.
