Which country boasts the busiest rail system on the planet?
India’s railway system is ranked #1 in the world in terms of passengers carried, with a record of 721.6 billion person miles per year. This means India’s railways transport more people over greater distances than any other country. The second busiest is China, with 423.3 billion person miles per year. On June 2, 2023, two passenger trains and a goods train collided in Odisha state in India, killing over 300 people and injuring about 1,000 more, making it one of the most tragic train collisions in India’s history. The most severe one was in 1981 when 800 people died.
