As an essential infrastructure of cities, public transit networks have special importance in decreasing traffic congestion and air pollution and subway system is considered as the most efficient mode of public transit due to being green and mass transit. In this study, a mixed evaluation index composed of two components of shape and service points is proposed. The shape point is calculated utilizing network length, topology characteristics, station density, and average edge length (integer value between zero and ten). Annual passenger and passenger per unit length are used to calculate the service point (between zero and one). The study evaluated and compared subway networks for 52 cities around the world where according to this analysis New York city subway system is ranked 1, with a score of 8.506, and Tehran is ranked 29, with the score of 4.39. We also classified subway networks into three groups based on their connectivity and complexity indices using fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method and Tehran’s subway system is classified as partially accessibility network. Results of proposed classification based on network complexity and connectivity using fuzzy c-means methods indicate that the Tehran subway is the developed subway system but London, Tokyo, and New York are the more developed subway system. Results of regression models based on the world trend for primary predicting of the needed number of stations and length of a network show that currently, length and number of stations of the Tehran subway network should be equal to 206.3 km (31.1 km deficiency) and 147 (8 stations deficiency), respectively.
