Rubber-tired transit technology is receiving much attention for application to medium-capacity rapid transit systems due to superior traction capability and the potential for reduced noise generation. Data from a worldwide survey identify other surprising benefits. This technology appears to merit inclusion as an alternative in technological assessments for urban rapid transit applications. A review is given of the state-of-the-art in the world today and describes typical system concepts.
