Rubber-tyred metro trains use a specialised version of railway bogies.

Although it is a more complex technology, most rubber-tyred metro systems use quite simple techniques, in contrary to guided buses.

Three of the lines are rubber-tyred metro.

The Ouchy line closed in January 2006 for conversion to rubber-tyred metro.

Rubber-tyred metro with the steepest slopes in Europe.

Alstom will handle the order since it is the only manufacturer with experience in constructing rubber-tyred metros.

The return is effected through the rails of the conventional track between these guide bars (see rubber-tyred metro).

A rubber-tyred metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road and rail technology.

Though technologically closer to a simple rubber-tyred metro, it was almost universally referred to as a monorail.

Guided buses are sometimes referred to as 'trams on tyres', and compared to rubber-tyred metros.

It uses the rubber-tyred metro technology derived from some lines of the Paris Metro.

Advantages of rubber-tyred metro systems (compared to steel wheel on steel rail):

These systems have been likened to the tram equivalent of rubber-tyred metros, and they are also less efficient than steel-wheeled light rail vehicles.

Rubber-tyred metros feature special wheelsets with rubber tires outside of the special flanged steel wheels.

Lausanne became the first city in Switzerland to have a rubber-tyred metro system, with the m2 Line which opened in October 2008.

The wheels of rubber-tyred metros, on the other hand, are bound and guided by their rails in the same way as are steel-wheeled trains.

Rubber-tyred metro with lateral guidance based on the MP 89 from Paris Métro.

The MP 51 prototype was built, testing both rubber-tyred metro and basic automatic piloting on the voie navette.

The first completely rubber-tyred metro system was built in Montreal, Canada; see Montreal Metro.

Line 4, also called the 'Bansong Line', is a rubber-tyred metro system that serves north-central and northeastern Busan.

The 20th century Aeromovel claims a maximum gradient of 1 in 8.33 (12%) which is steeper than any conventional railway in operation and equivalent to rubber-tyred metros.

Lyon's metro line D is a larger rubber-tyred metro; it was originally developed independently but ended up incorporating some components of VAL technology.

An increase in capacity from rubber-tyred trams is rubber-tyred metro, in operation in a number of cities, notably on the Paris Métro: the system originated in France.

Rubber-tyred metro technology was first applied to the Paris Métro, developed by Michelin, who provided the tyres and guidance system, in collaboration with Renault, who provided the vehicles.

Eventually, the Michelines gave way to rubber-tyred metros, pioneered by the RATP (Paris transit authority) which introduced them for their superior acceleration characteristics, in order to increase the capacity of their subway lines.
