To solve the problem of

congestion of traffic, the first underground train

opened on 10th January 1863 between Paddington

and Farrington Street in London. 10,000 passengers

here carried on that day.

Underground trains, though objects of cynicism

in the beginning, partially solved housing crisis by

carrying large masses to and from the city to the

suburbs.

By the 20th century, most large cities like New York,

Tokyo, Chicago possessed underground train networks.
