ABSTRACT
The present study provides a comprehensive analysis and comparison of the transportation networks in three of the world's most populous and dynamic cities: New York City, Tokyo, and Paris. Each city's transportation system reflects its unique historical, cultural, and socio-economic contexts, influencing urban mobility and accessibility. The research employs a multi-faceted approach, examining key components such as airports, railways, and subway systems. Quantitative metrics, including ridership statistics, coverage area, and operational efficiency, are utilized to evaluate each network's performance. Moreover, qualitative assessments highlight user experiences, accessibility challenges, and the impact of urban policies on transportation equity. The findings reveal significant strengths and weaknesses within each city's transportation framework, offering insights into best practices and potential areas for improvement. New York City's extensive subway system, characterised by its scale and 24-hour service, is contrasted with Tokyo's highly efficient and punctual rail network, which includes a blend of local and high-speed trains. Paris, known for its iconic Métro and extensive bus services, is analysed for its focus on sustainability and pedestrian-friendly initiatives. This comparative analysis not only contributes to the academic discourse on urban transportation but also serves as a valuable resource for policymakers and urban planners aiming to enhance mobility in metropolitan areas worldwide.
