The trenchway is a type of rail-based transportation system characterised by the use of an excavated open trench which places the rails underneath ground level [1]. It is common in Riamo, where it has come to replace many rail-based urban commuter lines [2] [3].

Characteristics

  • Longer trains than subways [4]
  • Less than 8 minute headways
  • Usually have universal fare system [5] by personal non-transferable magnetic card that autocalculates journey fees based on distance between initial and final stations.
  • Underground stations at 10-20 meters under surface level [6][7] with one or two access points.
