Why rubber-wheeled?

Someone who knows should mention why a rubber-wheeled system is used instead of a normal steel wheel and track system. Are there a lot of hills or elevation changes that require the grip of rubber? It seems like an inefficient design unless there is some extenuating circumstance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.132.54.60 ( talk) 19:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

It is rubber tyred due to climate reasons. J4lambert ( talk) 20:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Station numbers

I have seen a template for station numbers on the Tokyo Metro. For example: G01 is used for the Ginza Line.

Could this template be used for station numbers on the Sendai, Fukuoka, Sapporo, and Nagoya subway systems? Examples: N01 T01 H01 for Sapporo Municipal Subway J4lambert ( talk) 20:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC) reply
