Untitled

Is there anything else that should be included regarding this article? More information should be added for Monterrey's bus system as well, does anybody have this information?

• My answer is someone should give a map that reveals the lines' colors, as well as checking to see if the lines can have their own articles that can be put into dis-ambiguation pages based on their colors (e.g. Green Line if colored green on maps.) Georgia guy 01:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Spanish article

I happened to switch to the Spanish article and I saw that it was amazingly well done, so if anyone has the time please update this version because there are too many things to be improved. Supaman89 (talk) 02:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Is the Metrorrey a light rail system.

In my personal opinion (and in reference to the Spanish version of this page), the Metrorrey is actually a light rail system, since it's trainsets are too small to be considered rapid transit, and these are almost the same design and appearance for many of Mexico's light rail trains, as well as being coupled to extend the trainset, not to mention many light rail systems around the world are referred to as rapid transit by their governments. VivaBlondie2000 (talk) 21:11, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Although the last statement is definitely true, in this specific case reliable sources like UITP ([1]) and R. Schwandl's "Urban Rail" ([2]) don't share your personal opinion about Monterrey, including it among the "metro cities"; what other Wikipedias say isn't really weighty here, per WP:CIRCULAR.

As for the other edit I reverted as well, there's a distinct difference between two permanently (or semi-permanently) coupled cars, also known as twin unit or married pair, and a two-section articulated vehicle, with the latter usually counted as "one car" when joined in a longer trainset - i.e. three married pairs form a six-car train, whilst three two-section articulated vehicles form a three-car train.

Revisiting

While I agree that Metrorrey isn't "rapid tranist"/metro, I'd like to see someone produce some actual reliable sourcing that characterizes the system as either "light metro" or "medium-capacity rail" (and, note: Metrorrey is not included the Medium-capacity rail system article) – for reference, UITP overhauled their website some time ago (and basically removed all useful content from the website), and the "Urban Rail" website is in no way definitive on this question... So does anyone actually call it "light metro" as opposed to "light rail"?... I would say if sourcing cannot be produced on this, the article should be returned to categorizing the system as "light rail", as for example the LRTA did [3]. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:54, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

No, but they will build one in the future.[4] (CC) Tbhotch^™ 13:00, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

So, not currently then. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Here's an archive of the UITP article linked above showing Metrorrey as a "metro". In their World metros report they explain their definition of metro:

Metros are high capacity urban rail systems, running on an exclusive right-of-way. Metro lines included in the above statistics run with trains composed of a minimum of two cars and with a total capacity of at least 100 passengers per train. Suburban railways are not included and are available in a separate dataset. Systems that are based on light rail vehicles, monorail or magnetic levitation technology are included if they meet all other criteria above. Suspended systems are not included.

Metrorrey does meet this criteria. As for the term "light metro" specifically, is Metro Report International a reliable source? I'm not very familiar with this industry. Mike.BRZ (talk) 04:04, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 23:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
