	Rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	Marioff.com - Fire protection of metro systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The fire risks in urban underground transport systems or metros are amplified by the problems associated with mass evacuation of people in case of emergency.
		Although most metro systems now operate no-smoking policies, a small minority of people disregard the rules and a casually dropped cigarette butt is the biggest fire danger.
		Systems use water efficiently so smoke output is minimised, and discharge rates are low so water removal is not an issue.

	Bucharest Metro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bucharest Metro (Metroul Bucureşti in Romanian) is an underground urban railway network that serves the capital of Romania, Bucharest.
		Maximum speed on the system is 80 km/h (50 mph), although plans are to increase it to 100 km/h (60 mph) on M5, a new line currently in planning stage.
		The metro extension will be very convenient because both airports are located in the north of the city and hence a single metro extension could serve both of them, making transfer between the two airports very easy.

		Inevitably, the opening of a new urban light rail system, with all of its ceremony and civic pride, is shortly followed by collisions between trains and members of the public.
		System operators take great pains in their planning and implementation to avoid such incidents, and struggle to accept the fact that there is no perfect solution for entirely eliminating these collisions.
		A light rail system is obviously most vulnerable to safety problems at points of contact between trains, private and commercial vehicles and pedestrians, Bochner says.

	Passenger Train Variations - Automated 'Driverless' Metro Systems.
		Some automated systems still carry staff on their trains, if only to operate the doors and generally reassure nervous passengers that there is someone 'onboard' who can take control in the (unlikely) event of a fault; others are fully driverless.
		Their system uses what are called Canadian Automated Light Rail vehicles (ALRT) which combine both traditional and several innovative state-of-the-art technologies; for guidance they feature traditional standard gauge steel-wheels-on-steel-rails technology and innovative steerable bogies whilst for propulsion they feature innovative Linear Induction Motors (LIM) which is an electromagnetic propulsion system.
		Two Canadian and one American cities use the Skytrain system; in Toronto it acts as an add-on to the pre-existing heavy rail subway and streetcar networks and although the vehicles are automated all trains carry a driver whose duties include initiating door closure & station departure.
