But if this is about metro trains then size doesn't matter as much as number of big and dense cities
of which the US has a quite a few
Right but many does the US have vs. how many does India have? The original comparison was for their land size, I think a better comparison would be based on the number of big and dense cities.
Yes, it’s not a very useful metric. Better would probably amount of people living in urban areas / area of urban areas.
