		Budapest is a perfect example where the two more modern metro lines connect with buses and trams and also with two circular streetcar/tram routes (one closer to and one further from the city center) that allow travel between suburbs and also into the centre of the city by changing onto the metro.
		Some urban rail lines are built to the full size of main-line railways; others use smaller tunnels, restricting the size and sometimes the shape of the trains (in the London Underground the informal term tube train is commonly used).
		The first real underground line in the sense discussed here was the Metropolitan Railway in London, which opened in 1863, using the era's most advanced propulsive technology: steam locomotives, specially designed to condense their exhaust steam when in the tunnels.

	BMT Lines History
		What came to be known as the BMT began in the late 1800's as a series of separate and independent steam railroads, surface, and elevated lines in Brooklyn.
		In exchange the city retained ownership and the right to re-capture while it leased the lines to the companies for operation (term of lease 49 years with the city having the right to re-capture lines after 10 years).
		On December 1, 1923 the city took over operation of the Williamsburg Bridge shuttle, a trolley line that charged five cents for three rides when it was operated by the B.M.T. Within a year the city succeeded in turning a $60,000 annual profit into a loss of $40,000.

	BMT Canarsie Line: Sutter Avenue
		Formerly, the Canarsie line split into two separate elevated structures - one over Van Sinderen Avenue and another a block east over Snediker Avenue.
