The vehicle we see in the picture above is manufactured by Matra VAL for the Metropolitan Toulouse. Guided vehicle without a driver traveling on rubber tires at a speed never exceeding 60 km / h but very powerful starts and stops. The platforms have security doors that only open to coincide with the opening of doors of trains.
So far so good but the trains only have two cars and over short and narrow, so the feeling of being overwhelmed at peak hours is very annoying. The length of the train is almost ridiculous and the tiny gauge, so that any train FEVE looks huge in comparison. Even the height is reduced and it seems that we are on the London Underground, with its curved roof rail. Fans riding the subway in Barcelona with its huge convoys can be gouging.
In these cases it would suffice to increase frequencies, but still this is a toy subway fulfills its role very well but is too limited to cope with demand increases.
The urban transport network of the city also has a tram that does not enter the central urban area but merely to reach the station Arènes exchange.
Also included in the line map metro line C that is not nothing but a stretch of the main railway route to the town of Auch and where local service is performed between Arènes and Colomiers. In this line frequencies are moderately acceptable at peak times but is not itself a meter waits between trains and fifteen minutes to reach the best, half hour of the day or even an hour in certain time slots and weekends, the trouble is that many trains do not stop at all stations and this complicates the use. The trains are used for diesel and one car too many times, so that the mass is guaranteed. A direct train makes the trip in 7 minutes but the poor quality of starts and stops the ride rises to 15 minutes if it stops at all stations. Is expected to improve the service but that time can not be called underground.
Best of all is that prices are going very low and a network of free parking to leave the car. Two people can make six public transport routes each for the amount of five dollars a couple, for example.

Mine is rather discuss that report, that's why there are better sources.
