    That’s a perfect comparison, actually. I would probably also have a snarky voice in my head while reading that, but I’ve never laid a railroad track or played baseball, so I don’t really have a leg to stand on

      Metro rail network length per country isn’t a very useful metric. India already passed Japan.

      As of 2020 the top ten were:

      1. China
      2. United States
      3. India
      4. Japan
      5. South Korea
      6. Russia
      7. Spain
      8. United Kingdom
      9. France
      10. Turkey

      There is country size, population, population density, percentage of population living in urbanized areas … a lot of factorsimportant for metro rail
