Two-axle rail cars, the Paris Metro-type rubber-tired vehicle system, and the SSG (so-called Milan type) experimental vehicle system are discussed and compared with conventional rail vehicle systems with particular reference to application on the system proposed by the NCTA for the National Capital region. The SSG system is described because it is less well known than the other systems and because it is necessary to identify the specific developmental version that is under discussion. (Author)
