Talk:List of tram and light rail transit systems

message: There's a change I’ve been considering for some time but, given that it’d be relevant and maybe contentious, I decided to seek consensus here beforehand: in my opinion, the issue flagged by  this template has been largely addressed since May 2013, when SJ Morg (talk) placed it, in all but the European table; hence, I intend to remove the “global” template and to place a “local” one only for that section.

message: Why there is not enlisted the tramway "system" on Qianmen street? I know, it's a parody of tramway system, but they have two cars on normal rails, going back and forth...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.103.124.242 (talk) 21:59, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of tram and light rail systems in the world. 

message: @ This is a mixed system and I can understand there may be debate over what is metro and what is not, but the question is whether parts of the network can be classified as tram sections? They're even referred to as "tranvia" see here where there's a photo included. Help me out here because I'm actually genuinely not sure what the difference is between tram and light rail?

replies: text: "Light rail" is a "catch-all" term that encompasses everything from "tram/streetcar" up through probably "light metro". Even if Valencia has a couple of technically "light metro" lines, overall the system is best categorized as simply "light rail". At this article, especially, we don't need to dig into the details... But there have be numerous discussions about this over at Talk:List of metro systems, and I believe the conclusion has always been that Valencia does not qualify as a "metro" system. If for some reason that has changed, then the systems should probably simply be moved from here to List of metro systems. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:54, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, but my question specifically refers to the tram sections, since I notice that some in the list on this page have them as both. I'm trying to get what the distinction is, in other words should Valencia be categorised as light rail or light rail/tram? Valenciano (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Probably best described (overall) as "light rail". The specific distinction is "modern light rail" would generally be "grade-separated", while "tram/streetcar" includes some "street-running" sections. As Valencia has examples of both (I believe), I would just call it "Light rail", though you could call it "Light rail/tram" if you prefer. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:14, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

text: From what it seems to me, the Valencia metro is a regional rail system that is metrolike in the city center. It's like the RER. Rckania (talk) 19:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
