Top 8 Coolest Rubber Tire Metro Systems in the World

[@metropod]

Disadvantage 5. often requires a Steel Wheel/Steel Rail anyway to switch tracks and function as a backup in case of a flat tire.

[@Tobu9105F]

but there is a pro. easier maintenance for the bogeys

[@holofernesz]

@@Tobu9105F Unfortunately not entirely true. The tires require more frequent changes. Basically you have to machine steels wheels much less.

[@johnmoore9862]

@@holofernesz. On a standard steel wheel (P8) I’m using just as an example there is a minimum wear groove, any wear close to this indication line & there will not be enough material left on the wheel to machine on the profile lathe.

[@Federico_Cahis]

Not a disadvantage.

[@s_garcia7]

Disadvantage no. 6: Subway systems that use tires are more (much more) expensive to build and maintain than those that use conventional metal wheels

[@stift18]

There's more rubber-tyred metros in Santiago: the NS-04 based on Sao Paulo trains, the NS-12 which is a spin-off of the NS-07 featuring a/c, and the NS-16 based on a truncated overhauling design for the NS-74 assembled locally by Alstom.

[@thebobs7385]

I've ridden many metro/subway systems around the world and I'm partial to my hometown's system in Boston :-) but the 2 nicest systems I've ever ridden are in Montreal (rubber-tired) and Stockholm (steel wheels). They are both beautiful systems, clean, efficient and a pleasure to use. I visited Montreal for Expo 67 when the system was new and everyone remarked on the brand new metro system. I've since visited Montreal many times and the metro is the best way to get around and many of the stations are works of art in their own right. Then in the late 90's, I had a chance to visit Stockholm and use their system. I was struck by the artwork, the painted "caverns" the ancient "ruins" at Kungsträdgården station... It just makes the experience of riding underground that much more pleasant. Rubber tired systems only work in warmer climates or, in colder climates, if they are entirely underground (as in Montreal) or if the track/guideway is heated. They are better for steeper gradients. However even the MBTA Blue Line in Boston (steel wheels) navigates fairly steep grades through the Boston Harbor tunnel. Noise is no longer a distinguishing characteristic as many steel-wheeled systems are almost as quiet as rubber-tired systems. And rubber-tired systems such as in Montreal, Paris, and Mexico City still require steel tracks for switching and to support the train in case a rubber tire goes flat. As an aside, the engineer and author, Vukan R. Vuchic, has written some excellent books about urban transit systems, including rubber-tired systems and I highly recommend them for those who are interested in the subject.

the advantages of rubber tyres presumably come to the fore in some contexts (particularly where steep hills are concerned), but for the most part they always just come off as a gadgetbahny solution to a problem that can usually be answered with conventional rolling stock

[@TheCreepy31]

When it was created back then for the Paris metro the steel wheel trains accelerated / braked slowly and considering how close te station are on this network a rubber tyre rolling stock would have better acceleration and braking, so very usefull for this network. And it did. Then for LRT system like the VAL one they used rubber tyre wheel as it is way lighter than steel wheel + considering it was made for mid-sized cities / airport people mover it's designed for high frequency and close stops, but nowadays modern steel wheel metro have almost the same performance as rubber tire metro, it makes the difference depending on the network and it's requirements. Btw I live in Toulouse where we have a rubber tyre metro using VAL trains, it is very efficient and it's only drawback as a passenger is how small the trains are ( only 2m wide !! ). So if you have any question about this system you can ask :) !

[@lzh4950]

Singapore chose rubber-tyred Bombardier (AdTranz back then) Innovia 100 (but to be replaced by Innovia 300 soon) & Mitsubishi Crystal Mover rolling stock too for it's (fully-elevated) LRT lines within some of its towns, as they're quieter, but I've found steel-wheeled MRT lines to become much quieter too after metal skirting was added along some stretches of overground MRT lines. Though I guess the other advantage of rubber-tyred rolling stock of being able to climb steeper slopes also means that their railway flyover junctions/interchanges can be made smaller too, which would be more important within towns (which are more crowded with apartment buildings)

[@nabeezc]

I’ve been on the Wenhu Line in Taipei. It’s a great ride, but I always thought of it as more of a people mover. Calling it a rubber tire metro makes A LOT more sense considering it’s length and usage.

[@陳秉軒-c9b]

I am surprised that the Taipei system gets to the list. And btw, except the footage on 2:48, all other footage of the Wenhu line are showing the Bombardier APM 256, instead of the VAL 256. It can be special due to it being kind of rare nowadays to find the VAL trains, the other one in operation at O'Hare International Airport. As an extra note, the integration of the two car systems on the Wenhu line didn't go very smoothly. I still remember the news of people getting stuck on those trains due to system errors when the new trains were launched. There were even times when all trains have staff members onboard just to deal with these sudden stops (despite this supposed to be a fully automated system).

The rubber tire metro was first used in Paris. First tested on the short line 11 (1956), it was later used on line 1 (1964) and line 4 (1967), the busiest lines in Paris. The main goal was to increase tradic thanks to better accelation and braking. Another advantage is less noise and vibrations. The main drawbacks are lower energy efficiency, and tire dust...

[@h.hartwig]

I disagree with the presumption of less noise. Rolling noise of the rubber tires is subjectively louder and more annoying than the sound from well-maintained steel wheels in modern Metro systems.

[@Fan652w]

It is worth noting that four of your eight systems are in cities where the main language is French. It seems that rubber-tired metros have have had only limited success outside France, the country of their birth. I suspect that higher energy consumption is a decisive factor against rubberr-tyred metros. One city you missed is Lausanne in french-speaking western Switzerland. The line has gradients of 10%, proving one advantage of rubber tyres. The rolling stock is similar to that on Paris line 14.

[@eduardovazquezramirez6564]

I always love watching my beloved Mexico City metro in videos! I'm not an engineer but in my opinion, there may be lines where steel wheel trains may have been a better idea. For example, line 7 was built mostly in a deep tunnel and because of that, heat tends to build up, this has led to instances of tires catching fire when braking. Overall, though, I'd say these trains have been pretty reliable throughout the years, there's even some MP 68 trains that were refurbished in the 90s and are still in service nowadays.

[@Desi365]

Increible since MP68 means they were manufactured in .... 1968. But this equipment is sturdy. The Paris metro has some really really old trainsets still running good.

I haven't ridden any of the rubber-tyre metro's but I do think the technology is cool, especially VAL because it introduced automated rapid transit to many a small French city... I still think the coolest tech though is the ALRT of Vancouver and Dubai...

[@rodericksmith8218]

There is a rule of thumb for urban transport: maximum acceleration/braking is 1 m/s/s for standee comfort for people who are not gripping a handrail firmly. Acceleration is limited by adhesion only for the first few seconds; thereafter is is power limited. In emergency mode, steel can achieve 1.2 m/s/s (and standees may fall over). The benefits are overstated when balanced with complexity and energy use. Away from Paris (where most lines aren't rubber), I have been on Montreal, Mexico City, and probably Santiago. Is Caracas (Venezuela) rubber? My only train ride there was on the metro. On all, I have no memory of conspicuous silence or smoothness: if blindfolded, I wouldn't have guessed what was under the floor. On a non metro, I have been on a Michelin in Madagascar which blew two tyres with no steel backup.

As a Montrealer, I find it unfair we're ranked only 6 when all you had was old footage. Montreal's system was opened in 1966 so systemj chosen well before that, so after Paris, we are one of the older ones (and yes, it was "inpired" by the Paris system who cooprrated in the design. The first cars were built in Montréal by Canadian Vickers based on the french designs. The MR73 cars were the first ever trains built by Bombardier who had only built snowmobiles to that point, and the MP10 were the last ones ever built by Bombardier before its assets liquidated and sold to Alstom (who was a partner in building MP10s). Also, the "quieter" is not true as the sound of tires against the concrete "track" is much louder than steel wheel.

It's also really important, high gradients are tough to reliably handle with non rubber systems.

One of the advantages, "quiter", is no longer really relevant ... the metros on tires are certainly less noisy in the bends, but otherwise, they are as much, if not more noisy than the conventional trainsets. Strangely, the first models in Paris (Mp59-Mp73) are not very noisy compared to the Mp89 and Mp14, however more recent .... It is true that the VVVF control systems make more noise than the resistance control. But hey, a positive point for sure !!! an Mp89 on the M14 at 80kph it's an incredible noise (which does not come from the tires but from the transmission) 😉

[@holofernesz]

This is very true. It was more revelvant when the technology came out because rails were either attached directly to concrete or the transmissions of the electric drives were coarse enough to cause excess vibrations to translate into the rails and thus the tunnels. This was a major problem in old metro systems because it would cause the ground around the tunnel to also vibrate, moving the soil above the tunnel and sinking buildings in less stable areas. Modern tech uses rubber buffers between the rail and tunnel bed, or traditional ballast in some cases. The more modern machined transmissions with a proper drive also reduces vibration from the train significantly and thus this problem doesn't really exist anymore. Modernized ex-soviet systems are a prime example of how much sound can be dampened with the newer technology.

[@fesak8423]

Nice video, but there's some things that keep bugging me that I've also seen in other videos. Sometimes the sounds that play in the transitions are uhhh kinda out of place? Like it doesn't make sense to play some electric sparkling sounds for no reason does it, on other videos they're just completely random. The text could be on a semi transparent black rectangle, because sometimes the background is the same colour as the text so it's hard to read.
