Are you asking me to open two wikipedia pages and pull information from them ? Like you , I do not have the requisite training to do this , but aw hell . # Tokyo Subway System 13 lines , 285 stations , 304 total km # NYC Subway System 34 lines , 422 stations . Lowest number for track length is 376 km not sure which one is most appropriate to compare since the Tokyo number isn ' t detailed , but the other numbers top 1000 km . The most important difference in my book , though , is that the Tokyo subway runs from 5 AM to 1 AM , and the NYC subway runs 247 . There are other differences , like the fact that the Tokyo system is less unified and has different fares for different lines , plus you have to pay to transfer . <| sep |> Well what else did you want to do , too ?
