Pity. Detroit is on the list with it's 2.9 mile joke of a People Mover but New Orleans 12 and half miles of streetcars didn't make the cut.

I am living proof that you can't make everyone happy. Me especially.

Lovely map, though.

Many thanks!

Point of order: Taipei is NOT part of China! It's on a little island off the coast called "Taiwan".

Does Birmingham have an urban rail system? It doesn't have a metro, and IIRC, doesn't have trams/light rail either.

Those look like standard National Rail trains. By that token, every city/town in Britain (or, indeed, anywhere else) with more than one railway station on the national network appearing within its boundaries could be counted as having an "urban rail system".

@acb: Not the standard National Rail train on the left. The tram on the right :) It's called the Midland Metro.

Brisbane's Citytrain obviously isn't an "Urban rail system".

What exactly is the criteria for inclusion? Edinburgh would only seem to qualify because it is currently building a tram system. But Leipzig, for example, has many trams and is not included.
