Talk:Market Street subway

Is this system a "premetro"?
The premetro article contained a great deal of original research, and characterized a large number of light-rail or streetcar routes as "premetro" systems for questionable reasons -- like that the light-rail or streetcar system had a short tunneled section. More recently the premetro article has been scaled back, to only include systems that verifiable authoritative sources have called "premetro" systems.

Unfortunately dozens of questionable incoming links were made to the premetro article, from articles like this one, that didn't supply any references that verified systems like this one had ever been called premetro systems.

I am going to place a dubious tag next to all questionable claims that provide questionable incoming links to premetro.

If no authoritative references ever called this a "premetro" system that phrase should be removed from this article, link and all. Geo Swan (talk) 17:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Muni Metro isn't a "premetro" (def.: a streetcar or light rail system with a rapid transit-standards portion that is intended to eventually be fully upgraded to a "heavy rail" rapid transit system) anyway – instead, it's what's known as a "semi-metro" (def.: a streetcar or light rail system with a rapid transit-standards section). But the term "semi-metro" is essentially unknown in the English-speaking world. In any case, I'll delete all references to "premetro" from the various Muni Metro articles shortly... --IJBall (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
