The following table shows the cities with the most passenger entries/exits for all major stations within the city combined. This only includes major stations with official statistics (usually either Category 1 or Category 2 stations). Stations of these categories without data are not included (e.g. Berlin Potsdamer Platz station, Berlin-Wannsee station, Hamburg Dammtor station, Frankfurt (Main) Süd station). Other stations (category 3 and lower) are not included for comparability reasons either.
