The London Underground operates 391 km of railway, of which some 171 km are
under the ground. Known as the tube, the system has 267 stations, with more than 470
trains running during peak periods. Extensions continue to be built in the east and
southeast of London. Much of the system is old, and breakdowns are a recurring
problem. Vandalism in the form of pulling emergency switches also causes many
delays. Yet, the Underground provides reliable public transportation for an
impressive number of commuters across a large metropolitan area.
The fact that New
York City lies mostly on islands has created the need for many transwater
connections, including numerous bridges and tunnels to connect the various boroughs
with one another. Tunnels under the lower Hudson River and the George Washington
Bridge across it are also interstate facilities. Ontario, Canada,
is linked with New
York state by a number of bridges across the Niagara River and by three highway
bridges across the St. Lawrence River. Some 13 airports serve New York state. They
vary from small single landing strips to New York City’s giant Kennedy I
international Airport and La Guardia Airport, the nation’s 19th and 20th busiest,
respectively.
