In transport terminology, network length (or, less often, system length) refers to the total length of a transport network, and commonly also refers to the length of any fixed infrastructure associated with the network. A measurement can be made of the network length of various different modes of transport, including rail, bus, road and air. The measurement may focus on one of a number of specific characteristics, such as route length, line length or track length. ==Lines and routes== Continental European and Scandinavian transport network analysts and planners have long had a professional practice of using the following terminology (in their own languages) to draw a distinction between: *a ''line'' – namely "an operational element of () public transport system"; and *a ''route'' – as in "the route that () bus or rail vehicle follows through the city".〔 In 2000, this terminology was adopted by an English language best practice guide to public transport, to minimise the risk of confusion.〔 Since then, a number of other English language specialist publications have adopted the same terminology, for the same reason.〔 The terminology is therefore also used in this article. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Network length (transport)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
