Talk:Rubber-tyred metro

message: Is it conversion that is high-cost or building in general? The new line 14, built in 98 is rubber-tyred.
:I have understood (but correct me if I'm wrong) that conversion has been abandoned because of the high cost, not  building in general, as seems confirmed by this rather recent new line. Patrick 21:30 Oct 27, 2002 (UTC)
"At the same time, De Gaulle sought to differentiate the French and their way of doing things, as well as create a morale booster. De Gaulle posed the question as to how that might be applied to the Paris Metro rebuilding and the rubber-tired technology became one of the manifestations of the French "coming back". So, for the most part, the real impetus for implementing this burdensome system was political, not technical merit. Nevertheless, the French have succeeded in propagating and exporting this technology, as "state-of-the-art" and au courant"

message: I removed editorial comments from within the article - please put such comments in these talk pages, not in the article. Also, I did some rewording and removed the "NPOV" tag, which is a confusing one at best (it says the story needs better NPOV but the article's neutrality isn't contested, and I don't know what that means). - DavidWBrooks 17:53, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I see that somebody changed the spelling of this word from American to the non-American spelling throughout the article. Normally Wikipedia frowns on such tweaking, since it can lead to revert wars across the Atlantic (or across the 49th parallel), but in this case it seems appropriate since none of the examples given are in the U.S., so non-U.S. spelling should be used. Similary, an article about the British pound should use "colour" but an article about the U.S. dollar should use "color" - DavidWBrooks 14:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  tire vs. tyre 

message: Should the Miami Metromover be on this list? It's certainly rubber-tyred, but may not count as a metro system. --87.82.27.203 16:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not see the point of discussing Automated driverless systems within the context of this article since both rubber-tyred and conventional rail system can be driverless. 
--Georgius (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes this should only be a link in this article. There are many automated systems with or without a train operator on standby which are running on conventional steel rails. Although airport people movers an other types of services that transport many people over short distances are the kinds of systems that make the best use of rubber tyres. 87.182.218.105 (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

*Oppose - I don't see the need for this change.  There are two UK installations using rubber-tired/tyred trains, plus another in Hong Kong where British spelling is prevalent.  "Rubber-tired" redirects here.  No need to change, IMO.  PKT(alk) 15:25, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

message: There are a few airport lines on the list that I don't think should be included. I don't think Airport Lines that are transits for terminal to terminal should be included on the list. Any thoughts? --Iluvml93 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is the US Washington DC Metro system omitted from this article?LorenzoB (talk) 03:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Washington DC Metro 

message: I'm not sure if the Brisbane Metro is valid for inclusion in the list here as it seems to appear more as a articulated bus than a rubber-tyred metro. It doesn't steer by guide rail and is free to move around  the busway infrastructure that is shared with other existing buses. Fauzi (talk) 05:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brisbane Metro? 

message: Can someone please verify that all of the systems that are “planned” have some sort of reference to back all of them up? A random editor keeps adding planned new systems however I can’t find anything about a “Managua Metro“ or “Vientiane Metro”. They also keep adding these new systems to the bottom of the list, not in alphabetical order. Fork99 (talk) 04:45, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

replies: text:  That is not true. The incoming links are mostly from Template:Rail tracks which is present on almost 100 articles and you added both articles to after you created them. A cursory look would have revealed that is the case. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
