Are Sub-urban railways to be included in the list ?

This is with reference to the recent edits made by User:Secret of success adding Chennai Suburban railway to the list. From what I understand the general definition of rapid transit is mass transport systems that are grade separated from regular traffic, which suburban systems in India are not. If I am wrong and suburban systems in India qualify as Rapid transit, I request even the Mumbai locals, Kolkata suburban, Hyderabad MMTS be included in the list. If not a new article can be created titled Suburban railway systems in India. Thank You. WorLD8115 (TalK) 14:35, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed there is already a page on suburban Suburban rail in India. So, a new page is not required. WorLD8115 (TalK) 14:51, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not notice that there was a separate article for the commuter rail. That article can accommodate the commuter rail in India better than this one. Regards. Secret of success · talk 16:03, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion there should be separate third section for Sub-urban railways apart from metro rail and monorail, Chennai MRTS is not a metro rail but it is included in the list of metro rail. Ashok4himself (talk) 10:32, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- There is a separate thread for suburban rail systems, so it is not needed in this article. I'm not sure if to include Chennai MRTS, because it is grade separated from suburban traffic but does not use modern rolling stock, signalling (ATP/ATO), AFCs & other facilities similar to Delhi & Bangalore metros.WorLD8115 (TalK) 11:21, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Either Hyderabad MMTS, Delhi Suburban Railway, Mumbai Suburban Railway, Pune Suburban Railway etc... be included here or Chennai MRTS be removed.

Nope, Chennai MRTS is rapid transit well within the city, whereas the others are otherwise. There's a discussion above which you may have failed to notice. Secret of success · talk 12:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The name of article has been changed to Urban rail transit in India. Hence suburban rail and trams have been included in the article. Please see Urban rail transit and Urban rail transit in China for justification. Punyaboy (talk) 11:04, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So why is BRTS still in the article, that is NOT rail based as you know WorLD8115 (TalK) 14:41, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Change of Article Name

Wouldn't "Urban rail transit in India" be a better name for this article because the term "Rapid transit" is mainly given just to metro systems around the world. Broman178 (talk) 08:41, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the name as said. Both India and China use this format.Punyaboy (talk) 10:45, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
