A start to Subways
A '''Subway''' is a Rapid Transit system that runs underground for much or all of it's route. Subways require large populations to run efficiently and run at a "grade seperation" from other vehicles and run frequently. This means that they exist in the largest cities.
The first subway was opened in [[London]] in 1863, (where it is called the "[[Underground]]") although many more major cities now have subways systems. The [[Boston]] subway opened in 1901 and the [[New_York_City|New York]] subway first opened in 1904.
