How many wheels does a Metro train have?

Do Metro trains have a lot of wheels? I recently moved to a new city and I have to use the Metro a lot, so I’m curious to know how it works.

Metro trains account for a total of 2,884 wheels, but not all of those wheels are on the same train. The number of wheels on each train depends on the number of cars that the train has. Every coach is equipped with four to eight wheels in total.
To find the number of wheels on a particular train, you’ll need to count the number of train cars, then multiply the number of wheels by the number of cars. Most Metro trains are six to eight cars long, so they may have anywhere from 24 to 64 wheels in total.
