	Rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Athens Metro's Blue Line shares tracks with suburban rail services in order to connect the metro to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, but does not stop at the suburban rail stations because the platforms of the stations are a lot lower than the train's floor.
		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.
		It is now part of the Budapest Metro and remains largely in its original state, with the original cars modernised and the stations restored in keeping with their original design, and with the route the same except for a very short extension north to Mexikói út to connect with the city's tram network.

	The Metro Blue Line
		The Metro Blue Line, L.A.'s first light rail transit system, runs from 7th Street in Downtown L.A., through the communities of Vernon, Huntington Park, South Gate, Watts, Compton, Carson, finally ending in downtown Long Beach.
		The gangs in the area are known to have a respect for the rail line, and recognize that the trains are not part of their turf.
		The biggest problem facing the Blue Line is grade crossing accidents, and additional features like a third "pylon" light added on top of the front of the train and lowered fences for added train visibility.
