Israeli MRT systems

Tel Aviv has recently opened its red line, which while referred to as light rail definitely counts as a metro system, since it's underground and functions much more like a metro. Haifa also has a very unique underground funicular, which I think also counts as a metro system. I think these should be added 84.229.178.65 (talk) 00:16, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect color for Poland on the map

Poland has one underground metro in Warsaw, but the article is about mass rapid transit in general, so the color should be changed as there is SKM (rapid city rails) in Tricity, Silesia, and Cracow as well. 5.185.59.10 (talk) 09:31, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even though the article states that SKM is a mixture of Rapid Transit and commuter rail, there's no source given. And looking at the rolling stock and the names of the individual lines (S1, S2, etc.) it seems to be commuter rail. KatVanHuis (talk) 16:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Berlin S and U-bahn

Aside from links to the two complementary systems running in Berlin, no additional mention is made of this large and well coordinated and historic rapid transit system. It deserves more detail and description. 208.56.236.35 (talk) 21:02, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
