List of North American rapid transit systems
Remove ads

This is a list of North American rapid transit systems by ridership. These heavy rail or rapid transit systems are also known as metro or subway systems. This list of systems in North America does not include light rail, even when they are integrated with heavy rail. Daily and annual ridership figures are based on "average weekday unlinked passenger trips" (where transfers between lines are counted as two separate passenger "boardings" or "trips"), unless otherwise indicated. For metro systems in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada, the annual ridership figures for 2023 and average weekday ridership figures for the First Quarter (Q1) of 2024 come from the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) ridership reports statistics,[1] unless otherwise noted. Ridership figures for Mexico come from the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI), specifically the Economy and Productive Sectors - Passenger Transit information.[2] Ridership figures for the Dominican Republic come from the Directorate of Operations Santo Domingo Metro report for the year 2013.[3]

Notes

  1. The current system incorporates elevated sections built in 1870.
  2. This system does not have update data of the avg. daily weekday boardings, this number correspond to the regular average.
  3. This rapid transit system is integrated with a light rail system; only the parts of the system that are rapid transit/metro, and that are not light rail, are counted in the statistics presented here.
  4. This is the Average Daily Ridership figure, not an Average Weekday Ridership figure – it is averaged from the Q4 2014 Total Ridership figure for this system.
