@@Mauri-jb9up S-Bahn functions as a high-speed metro on the Stammstrecke, or Trunk Route. This is where several lines come together to offer high-frequency service underground through the city center, which is basically the definition of a metro, no?
As for High Speed Metros/Subways the 3rd rail voltage may have to be upgraded to increase speeds and grade separated like the BSL in Philadelphia which reaches top speeds of 70 mph without CBTC signaling limiting speeds. I’d consider the TriboroRX to be a high speed metro since that stations are spaced apart.
@@qjtvaddict No because Regional rail is under the jurisdiction of the FRA. For NYC there are stretches where high speed metros are feasible. The section from Coney Island to 59th Street on the BMT Sea Beach Line is most likely especially if the (N) gets extended to LaGuardia and from 80th Street or Rockaway Blvd to Broad Channel on the (A) so that service will be increased and to speed up runtimes.
This is why I love the New York City transit system. Its trains were future proved so much that there is places for express service and local service.
The rest of the world discovering S-Bahn service as if Deutschland hasn't been doing this for over 100 years
@leotard2536 S-Bahn is a commuter rail. Not a high-speed or express metro. Many cities have now both commuter rail and express metro lines

These are the deinterlined versions of S-Bahn and in some cases much faster
@@qjtvaddict S-Bahn München has a top speed of 140kmh, so not that much much of a difference

So maybe some regional rail lines should be rerouted to run via broad street line

How to make an express metro line in China: name it Line 18
India has an 18 too
Port Washington line should be linked to the 63rd Street line and release the speed limits on the R160/211 on the F and let it go faster
Elizabeth is through running
High Speed Subways are POSSIBLE in NYC. Unlike other cities.
