This process is not shown in the video. L6/L7 does not integrate into the metro until 2003, but they were still considered to be "rapid transit" before the integration so it appears on the map since its inauguration in 1863. The section of L8 was first inaugurated in 1884, but the line does not appear on the map until 1996 when the infrastructure was decided to be upgraded to the metro standard with increased speed and frequency.

The Greater Tokyo Area (Capital Area) is defined as Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures.
If a line extends beyond the Greater Tokyo Area, only the section inside the GTA is counted (e.g Gotemba line, Koumi line, Chuo line, Joban line, etc.)
rapid transit vs. commuter rail vs. heavy rail The distinction of these services is often unclear as they are used inconsistently by different sources. Sometimes, rapid transit and commuter rail are subcategories of heavy rail, sometimes they are used interchangeably, and sometimes they are used as different definitions. For the purpose of this video, these terms are defined as follows: Rapid transit: operates in urban center, shorter distances between stations, frequent service, mostly underground (usually referred as metro or subway) Commuter rail: connects suburban areas with the city center, often connects with rapid transit and provide through-services Heavy rail: operates mostly in suburban areas as regional lines, less frequent service, often shorter or single fleet
Lines, stations, and length counting methodology If two lines have different terminals and are named as a "branch line", they are considered as one line (e.g. Narita Main line, Narita Abiko branch line, Narita Airport line are counted as 1 line). If two lines share a majority of routes with different terminals but have "unique names", they are counted as separate lines (e.g. Keikyu lines). The station counts and track lengths are the numbers of unique stations and unique segments for each operator. However, for the "Greater Tokyo Area rail network", station counts and track lengths of operators are simply summed together resulting in some cross-company stations and tracks being counted multiple times.

BGM: Mercury by Vis Major Opal by Vis MajorEvolution of the Berlin Rapid Transit (U-Bahn, S-Bahn) 1902-2021 (geographic map)Metro Liner2021-04-29 | The history of Berlin's rapid transit system, U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn, "underground railway") and S-Bahn (Stadtschnellbahn, "city rapid railway"), from 1902 to 2021 is shown in this animation.
Notes: The nomenclature, line colours, and routes of the services, especially for S-Bahn, have constantly changed throughout history. The video only highlights major opening, suspension of the tracks in service and does not show minor name changes, route changes, etc. I did try to capture the route and name changes of the lines as much as possible, but the video may not accurately represent the actual routes of the lines at that time as there are not enough records of these changes. Hence, these changes only happen in the background and are not shown as separate event. For the colours, the lines are shown in the colours that are used today unless they were previously part of a different line. (For e.g. current Line U4 was initially green as it was part of Line B, then changed to blue as it was designated as a separate Line 4 in 1966, then changed again to yellow for better visibility. In this video, the colour only changes in 1966 from green to yellow.)
