This article should be deleted because it fails WP:NOTDIR #5 because there is no reason to supply pricing information and there is no encyclopedic significance to the pricing information. The article also fails WP:NOTDIR #7 because it is a listing of metro systems with little context. The article is also WP:LISTCRUFT definitions #6, #8, and #12. The article fails WP:LISTNAME by being a too broad topic. KAP03Talk • Contributions 16:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Also, it would be impracticable to keep this list up to date, and most of the entries are empty, so it is not at all a helpful article. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:57, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete I'm not even sure this is meaningful, given systems like the DC metro where the fare depends on the trip. Mangoe (talk) 17:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as obviously unmeaningful. There are some metro systems that only cover a few kilometres, but others, such as London's, that cover a very large area. Also exchange rates fluctuate from day to day and much more so from year to year. 86.17.222.157 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:54, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
