Monorails are both guided and supported via interaction with the same single beam, in contrast to other guided systems such as Rubber-tyred metros, such as the Sapporo Municipal Subway ; or guided buses or trams, such as Translohr.

Rubber-tyred stock is more common in medium systems, and more flexible to decide the alignment of the rail lines as they can run on steep gradients and tight curves.

Tsing Ma Bridge and Kap Shui Mun Bridge in Hong Kong have six lanes on their upper decks, and on their lower decks there are two lanes and a pair of tracks for MTR metro trains.

With a single track, six stations and two trains, it is listed in the Guinness World Records as the world's shortest metro line.

* Higher acceleration rate — Because of the energy efficiency, higher power-to-weight ratio and higher adhesive-weight-to-total-weight ratio values, MUs generally have higher acceleration ability than locomotive-type trains and are favored in urban trains and subway ( metro ) systems for frequent start / stop routines.

Far earlier than the birth of CRH brand, multiple unit trains have been running on all major cities ' metro lines in China.

Automated driverless systems are not exclusively rubber-tyred ; many have since been built using conventional rail technology, such as London's Docklands Light Railway, the Copenhagen metro and Vancouver's SkyTrain, the Disneyland Resort Line which uses converted rolling stocks from non-driverless trains, as well as AirTrain JFK which is linking JFK Airport in New York City with local subway and commuter trains.

A railway platform is a section of pathway, alongside rail tracks at a train station, metro station or tram stop, at which passengers may board or alight from trains or trams.

The type of vehicle is the same of Paris lines 1, 4, 6, 11 and 14: rubber-tyred metro ( trains that run on rubber tyres and steel wheels, in contrast to VAL trains, that use only rubber tyres ).

Perhaps alone among world metro systems, tickets are not sold by the transport company itself, but by post offices and privately-run shops and newsagents '; however, the ticket system covers all Warsaw public transport, including the Metro, buses, trams and some suburban trains.

Today it has developed into what essentially could be referred to as a metro system with 4 major line branches and 84 stations along 170 km of track separated from all other trains.

The lack of electricity begins at 20: 20 and causes radio broadcasts, public lights, elevators, trains, trams and metro traffic to stop.

Korail covers a total of 104 metro stations with its 150 commuter trains.

On November 29, 2011, Metrorex signed a € 97 million contract with CAF for 16 metro trains ( 96 cars ), with options for a further eight sets ( 48 cars ).

These are mostly the ' Shenfield metro ' services to, but during the off-peak they are also used by trains to.

The local commuter rail network ( overground ) that serves north and northwest directions does not intersect with the metro network, but passengers can change trains at the Helsinki Central Railway Station ( Metro station Rautatientori ).

In summer 1976 Teuvo Aura, the city director of Helsinki, signed an agreement with Valmet and Strömberg to purchase the trains required for the metro from them.

The M100 trains were the first metro trains in the world to be equipped with such technology.

The metro trains stop at every station, and the names of the stations are announced in both Finnish and Swedish ( with the exceptions of Central Railway Station, which is announced also in English, and " Kaisaniemi ", which is pronounced identically in Finnish and Swedish ).

The electricity used by the metro trains is a 750 volt direct current, and it is drawn from an electricity track ( also known as third rail ) on the side of the metro tracks.

Spanish transit is marked by a high degree of integration between its long distance railway system and inner-city metro systems, although the historic use of broad gauge has limited integration with its neighbours.

The State of Finland has announced plans to support Espoo with 30 % of full expenses on a new metro rail, the Regional Council of Southwest Finland is going to use this as a test case for a new light rail network in Turku.

Local residents generally use the term Denver area or Denver metro area which may informally mean anything from the continuously urbanized area within the six central counties of the MSA to the Front Range Urban Corridor north of Colorado Springs and south of Fort Collins.

Jaén has 26 service lines that connect the different neighborhoods of the capital, being able to use the metro card consortium.

Although it is a more complex technology, most rubber-tyred metro systems use quite simple techniques, in contrary to guided buses.

It was opened on 2 October 1991, the second line to use the VAL automatic metro.

The terminal is the largest elevated metro station in North America, with eight tracks serving the four services that use the station.

The metro network and the national rail network share the same gauge ( 1, 435 mm ) and loading gauge but not the same electrification system ( the metro uses 750 V DC whereas the Romanian Railways use 25, 000 V 50 Hz AC ) making it possible for new metro cars to be transported cross country as unpowered railway cars.

A special issue arises in the use of bus vehicles in metro transit structures.

There are 100 stations in use in the Stockholm metro.

Although this method is widely accepted in metro systems in Japan, JR Shikoku was the first JR company to use it.

The Karia HM V trams built in 1959 were built with provisions for use on the originally planned light rail-type metro system.

Beck's idea has been emulated by subway, bus and transit companies around the world and many urban rail and metro maps use his principles.

Underground stations in the premetro network use the same design as metro stations.

He then ran to the Agriculture Department building across the Mall to use a pay phone to ask the Post metro desk to send a photographer.

It was set up under former governor of Georgia Roy Barnes, in order to address mobility, air quality and land use and how they relate to the transportation needs of metro Atlanta, including both roads and public transit.

In 2006, the São Paulo Metro system has started to use a smart card, called " Bilhete Único " ( or " Single Ticket " in English ), allowing a passenger to take up to 4 buses and 1 metro or suburban train within 2 hours paying only R $ 4. 07, 4 buses paying R $ 2. 70 or metro or a suburban train within 3 hours only and pay R $ 4. 07.

This project of conversion of lines to metro arose due to the high demand of passengers who use the metropolitan lines of CPTM and the need to recover the old stations.

On all Cairo metro trains, the middle two cars ( 4th and 5th ) of each train are reserved for women ( the 5th car becomes a mixed use after 21: 00 ).
