Indeed. While in many parts of the world, whether a line is defined as a "Sub"way is based on its designated crowd flow, the unit weight of tracks and the size of train cars, rather than if a line is above ground or not. Especially in cities of China, once a line is designed as a metropolitan mass-transit rail, even most of the line is above ground, it is still called a "subway" or "metro" line.

Weird that it's called SUBway, when it seems to be entirely above street level. More like an elevated train.
