Talk:History of rapid transit

message: I don't think that Japan should be placed under the South Hemisphere section. It is neither both in geographic nor the economical kind of meaning.

message: We should probably mention briefly that the term was originally used in the U.S. for a certain kind of small-locomotive operation both on the Els and on streets.  (warning: many images; made my browser crawl) shows the Long Island Rail Road's "rapid transit" system on Atlantic Avenue from 1877 to ca. 1910; I think the Els originally used similar locomotives. --NE2 23:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Because you did not write about it yet :) This article was created by "dumping" the history section of the main rapid transit article into a new article. It is lacks structure, has never been copyedited, is completely unreferenced, and as you point out, has a geographic bias. As a history article, it should not be divided into sections by continent, but rather by time period, and perhaps by technology. If you know something about the topic, please improve Wikipedia by add information about Indian rapid transit. Arsenikk (talk) 14:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The Europe section had, as its first entry, "The first non-underground urban rail line was the first line of Athens metro system". I can't see this is justified, if the definition of a rapid-transit system is an underground...electric passenger railway in an urban area". ISAP was an above-ground suburban line (like the Liverpool-Manchester Railway, 30-odd years previously) with an underground section in the city (also like the L&MR). It wasn't electrified until 1904, and didn't become part of the Metro 'til 2011. So I've re-written it. Moonraker12 (talk) 14:41, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
