And speaking of the RER, after reading that thread BART sounds much more like the RER than I thought previously.I've generally considered BART to be a half-assed, Americanized S-Bahn which is a RER, but not on steroids... WMATA is similar as well, but more rapid transit-like than the RER. I was going to prattle on about how WMATA is different because it's doesn't share trackage with the national railway network like RER, but given the nature of the Ile-de-France and the DC Metro area, I'd argue that WMATA is a "subway", but RER functions as a near-subway equivalent for the inner-suburbs of Paris which are rather urban by American standards. Sadly, New York City ended up with the segregated IND and commuter networks instead of a RER or S-Bahn like network... |
