What constitutes the rest? Intercity trains? I assume by subways you mean the city's general train service, not just the underground ones.

What we would call in the USA "commuter rail," but in Tokyo is operated identically (and even on the same tracks!) as the subway

But 40 million still wouldn't make it number 1 according to wiki

Rookie mistake, should have paid more attention. Anyway, if you include communal rail, other cities have that too, isn't Chinese integrated?

Varies from country to country. China doesn't have regional rail like this they're slooowly introducing it in Beijing iirc)...

...but something like the S-Bahn in Germany falls into the same category (and is functionally indistinct from the U-Bahn)

That is, if you count Berlin's "subway ridership" as just it's U-Bahn, you're missing half the picture
