Talk:Light rail on rubber tires


 * This shouldn't be merged. There is a specific difference between a guided busway (eg. Adelaide's O-Bahn) and a light rail with rubber tires (eg. the LRT systems in Singapore (Sengkang, Punggol, etc.)). In the first instance the buses can come off the guided systems and drive on a road; in the second, the vehicles cannot come off the rails.


 * Don't merge this article - I wrote the comment above but forgot to finish it - the guided busways are specific metro corridors, usually. The LRT systems are usually feeder systems coming off a heavy rail (JROBBO 03:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC))


 * Despite its tram-like appearance, the Bombardier technology referenced in the article is a guided bus, capable of driving on roads without a guidance rail, as it does in Nancy; it's possible that the Translohr system doesn't have the same ability. If it doesn't, this article should be reframed as about it rather than a general concept which includes guided buses; if it does, I don't think the particular purpose to which it is put makes it a different enough technology to warrant a separate article.

 * Essentially, this page contains little independent value and should be redirected into Guided Bus. N.B. JROBBO that Singapore's misnamed 'LRT' systems are really people movers, not light rail. Bayberrylane 03:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
