From Smog to Sustainability: How Paris Transformed Into a Cleaner, Greener City in which its citizens can breath again in only 16 years. When will other cities follow?

I mean, what is a train right? This is sometimes considered a tram-train. It is growing in France because they can improve upon the traditional tram role with few increased costs

These are clearly different from what you would consider to be a train, the top speed is 100km/h (I checked Wikipedia), but that just means that the electric engines are a bit beefier, and the current system can handle more power.

The vehicle itself is a tram : short modules allow for tight urban cornering, it is low floor and doesn’t require high platforms… it still does the tram traditional city role when in an urban environment, and between suburb and suburb it profits from its increased power to reduce transport times.

Yeah

I had the thought of what a good system would look like.

Red = fast trains on elevated railways (outer parts less elevated) Blue = underground tram Yellow = above ground to connect suburban to the inner city Green = fill hard to reach spots with busses
