This page is not a forum for general discussion about List of metro systems. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about List of metro systems at the Reference desk.

Yamanote/Overground/MKZhD/Docklands

Why Docklands is listed? Technically it's rapid tram system, just like Moscow Metro Line 13. It's not listed for that reason. While Overground is a pure metro system. Just like Yamanote Line or Moscow Metro Line 14. They all should be listed. Elk Salmon (talk) 16:26, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Docklands is a Light Metro system its pretty much similar to the Vancouver Skytrain or Copenhagen metro. From what I understand the Moscow Metro Line 13 is just a low capacity monorail that just got re-branded as part of the Moscow Metro. Overground is not a metro system but a commuter or rail system. It has diesel trains and shares track with national rail passenger and freight trains. The Yamanote Line and Moscow Metro line 14 seem to be high end / metropolitan railway lines. I am not very familiar with the Moscow Metro Line 14 but it does seem to be a frequent commuter rail line built from recovered old railways not a metro line.Terramorphous (talk) 20:13, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Docklands is NOT a light metro. It's like rail. Light metro is heavy rail. That is Moscow metro line 12. Docklands is a class of rapid tram (light rail) similar to Moscow monorail. Yamanote and MCC are full metropolitan, not commuter, railways those should be listed. Most of LO as well. Elk Salmon (talk) 21:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Docklands is at worst a light metro, which is not heavy rail rapid transit. London Overground is a diesel-powered commuter rail system. Period. The others are simply put commuter rail systems tied into the national rail network and sharing tracks with other intercity and commuter lines. You really don't know what you're talking about. Such easily verified errors as these have no place in this list. Repeating an error doesn't make it any more correct. oknazevad (talk) 23:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Light metro is heavy rail, light rail is not. The term stands for financially light metro - elevated, rather than expensive tunneling, with shorter, but still conventional heavy rail trains. Most Paris Metro is light metro. Docklands is light rail. It's either shouldn't be listed then. And doesn't matter whatever it diesel power or electrical. This is a list of metropolitan railways. Those are not commuter railways. Rapid transit is an american term that doesn't have to do anything with this article. It's about metro systems. Elk Salmon (talk) 07:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, if so - Yamanote and Encircle lines do not share tracks with commuter lines. Yamanote goes alongside some commuter lines, but it's completely by its own. Both goes far deep inside the city, so they are not commuter. Elk Salmon (talk) 10:19, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seville

There is a metro line in Seville, Spain... Grijalvo (talk) 18:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Palma Metro

Should this be included? One of the lines shares tracks with commuter rail services. Valenciano (talk) 14:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, as per previous discussions – 1.2 million annual passengers isn't even close to qualifying as a "metro"-level system, and the M1 line's trains are tiny. AFAICT, Palma's system is basically a glorified people mover (even more than Rennes' is...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tel Aviv

There is a metro being built in Tel Aviv. See Tel Aviv Light Rail should be added to the list of projects under construction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.234.241.1 (talk) 12:33, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The system is light rail, not a metro. Valenciano (talk) 16:53, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. NgYShung ^huh? 10:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 September 2016

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at List of metro systems. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I noticed a little bug was left after the last revision of "DocKlands Light Railway" row, made by Oknazevad a week ago (17 Sept.): he miss to add |rowspan=2| to both "london" and "flag|UK" cells, damaging the table formatting.93.32.79.93 (talk) 16:51, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
