Data for the 15 largest metro systems worldwide (2010)

For each subway, the files needed to reconstruct its evolution are the 2 following ones: - in each XX directory, you will find a directory XX-topologies (where XX=name of the city)which contains the adjacency matrix of the network for each year (one matrix per year): the nameof the file for a given year is: XX-year-adjacency.txt - for each subway you will also find a file XX-stations-positions-years.txt which gives for eachstation its year of service, and its position (latitude longitude).For each subway these files are enough to reconstruct the network for every year. Pleasenote that these datasets are not updated (last time was in 2010) and for more details, citations etc,please refer to our paper "A long time limit for world subway networks" published inRSInterface (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsif.2012.0259)
