The first underground subway system began in London in 1868. New York City followed in 1907, and Buenos Aires built the first subway in Latin America in 1913. Because subway systems are so expensive, only large cities were able to pay for their construction. However, as the world’s population grew, mid-sized cities saw 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.
