Metro, Light Rail and Tram Systems in Europe

This document provides an overview of metro, light rail, and tram systems across Europe in 2009. It describes key statistics like the number of staff, annual passengers, and network developments under construction or planned. The largest metro systems are found in former Eastern bloc countries. Light rail and tram systems have seen more development in smaller cities and municipalities as they require lower capital costs than metros. Overall ridership has continued to increase on metro, light rail, and tram networks in Europe as cities invest in expanding their systems.
