It's the Wuppertal Schwebebahn. Personally, I think of it as a tramway, as it has one-directional vehicles, turning loops, doors on one side, etc. But it has elements of both metro and tramway systems ;)

On the other hand this train uses his own network and doesn't use the road in the way a tram does.
For this reason it can be a metro, the colors remind me of the type t original livery (blue/red(orange like) ) also the doors and windows look like those off a type T metro.

Really nice!

In Wuppertal the local community call it the subway and not a tramwy.

Just google on "floathing tram" and you get a lot of Schwebebahn results. ;)
According to the German Wikipedia, it is officially a 'tramway of special construction' (Straßenbahn besonderer Bauart).
1943 wurde die Konzession in die einer Straßenbahn abgeändert. Jetzt gilt sie ähnlich einer U-Bahn als Straßenbahn besonderer Bauart und wird gemäß der Verordnung über den Bau und Betrieb der Straßenbahnen (BOStrab) betrieben.
Anyway, a new one;

Seems more like the tight tube tunnels in London. But this is during construction isn't it?

Anyone a more specific guess about this (indeed New York) tunnel & subwaytrain?
