This site is an attempt to gather as much information as possible about tyred metros and to share it all in one location. Since the various "rail" systems are all over the world, very few informative pieces will be of original content. This site relies a great deal on permission and support from organizations, companies and individuals around the world.

The term metro was used for the first time in Paris to signify the metropolitain railway. I however use the term more loosely to include other forms of "railroad" transportation to use the rubber tire such as VALs and people movers.

This site and its webmaster have no affiliation with any transport authority.
