Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A rubber-tired metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road and rail technology. The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires which run inside a guideway for traction, as well as traditional railway steel wheels with flanges on steel tracks for guidance. Most rubber-tired trains are purpose-built and designed for the system on which they operate. Guided buses are sometimes referred to as ''trams on tires'', and compared to rubber-tired metros. See also Rubber-tyred trams, Translohr and Bombardier Guided Light Transit. During the World War II German occupation of Paris, the Metro system was used to capacity, with relatively little maintenance performed. At the end of the war, the system was so worn out that thought was given as to how to renovate it. Rubber-tired metro technology was first applied to the Paris Métro, developed by Michelin, who provided the tires and guidance system, in collaboration with Renault, who provided the vehicles. Starting in 1951, an experimental vehicle, the MP 51, operated on a test track between Porte des Lilas and Pré Saint Gervais, a section of line not open to the public.
