Each city’s metro system has a “common name” that developed historically.
London - “The Tube”, from the tube-shaped deep level bored tunnels
Paris - metro, full name “Métropolitain”
New York City - subway, because the main lines have significant underground sections.
Chicago - “The L” - from el, because it is mostly elevated
Boston - “The T” - from MBTA, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
Washington, D.C. - metro
San Francisco - BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit

Hey Paula, it’s me.
Michael – I can’t believe you’re calling me from London.
Yeah – I thought you’d be surprised.
Isn’t London fantastic? What have you done so far?
Well, we’ve only been here two days, so we haven’t seen much, but yesterday we took a
tour of the London Underground.
That’s an unusual thing to do on your first day, but I’m glad you did it. It’ll help us with the
project we’re doing on Transport in Big Cities.
Actually, it was really interesting. Did you know that it’s the oldest underground in the
world? It opened in 1863.
Wow! That’s a long time ago. I thought the Paris Underground was the oldest, but it was
completed in 1900. Why did they decide to build an underground?
They built it because there was a lot of traffic in the city centre and they wanted to help
people get to work more quickly. It started out with only one line that was around six
kilometres long, and two stations in the centre of the city.
That’s amazing. I can’t believe it was only six kilometres long. When I was in London, I got
lost. I thought the underground was enormous. I got lost all the time!
Well, it’s very different today. Now, there are more than 400 kilometres of routes on the
underground.
It was also expensive to ride on the underground when I was in London.
You’re right. It isn’t cheap, but it was much cheaper when it first opened. You could get a
single ticket for about three pennies and a return ticket was just a few pennies more.
That’s a lot cheaper. I hope you took some photographs of the underground, so we can
use them in our project.
Of course I did. I have to go now – we’re going on a boat ride on
the River Thames today.
Have a great time. And call me when you get home.
I will. Bye.
