Good question!

"Both subway and elevated train systems provided mass transit and promoted growth within cities. The first subway system was completed in London in 1863, while the first elevated train system was built in Chicago in 1895. Subway systems provide fast travel without disturbing traffic. Elevated train systems are cheaper than subways, but can be unattractive and noisy. Both systems gave citizens a faster way to travel from place to place without dealing with surface streets."

Elevated train System
