Source on each airport row

These are not the same product. Airport trains are short, often free, often 24/7, and often built into a terminal. Urban rail is a city network. Construction years differ, so capital costs here are inflated to 2024 dollars with CPI-U. NTD city-rail figures are report year 2024. Airport ridership years vary and are listed on each row.
