I noticed this line: "The world's largest single rapid transit service provider by number of stations (472 stations in total) is the New York City Subway", with a reference from 2014. This is out of date. 14.201.158.250 (talk) 16:59, 26 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a more recent reference? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:54, 26 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Metro tunnel is run through heavy rail system, unless you mean under constructing Suburban rail loop. King Tsang (talk) 23:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
