For calculations in subsequent tables and figures, the population and area of the metropolitan area are used except
Barcelona, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Tokyo (see notes under respective tables)
[2]
For Chicago and Washington DC, as the areas where public transport agencies (Washington Metropolitan Authority
and Chicago Metropolitan Authority) serve are beyond main city areas (District of Columbia and City of Chicago) and
extended to districts in other cities or states, the area that the agency claims to serve is used as metropolitan area.
