Description
Hello, I'm curious why Mapbox doesn't have subway data for global cities. Google Maps and Bing Addresses both have subway routes, so can Mapbox also have subway routes?

Research direction
The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points; begin by reviewing the two referenced rail-data sites and the Mapbox GL JS project scope. Done would require a maintainer-defined data source and implementation scope for global subway routes, followed by a reproducible test, but the issue does not specify either.
