Las Torres (Xochimilco Light Rail)
The Xochimilco Light Rail (locally known as el Tren Ligero and known by the government as Tren ligero de la Ciudad de México) is a light rail line that serves the southern part of Mexico City. It connects to, but is not considered a part of, the Mexico City Metro. Rather, it is operated by the ''Servicio de Transportes Eléctricos'' (STE), the authority that operates Mexico City's electric trolleybus system and formerly operated the municipal electric tram system. History Many of Mexico City's original tram lines were abandoned in the 1960s and 1970s. The original Xochimilco tramline had been in operation since 1910, but the Xochimilco tramway's section between Avenida Tasqueña and the city centre was replaced by a new metro line in 1970.Morrison, Allen (2003)The Tramways of Mexico City, Part 4.Retrieved 2010-05-05.May, Jack (1994).

The Medellín Metro ( Spanish: ''Metro de Medellín'') is a rapid transit system that crosses the Metropolitan Area of Medellín from North to South and from Centre to West. It first opened for service on 30 November 1995. As one of the first implementations of modern mass transportation in Colombia and the only metro system in the country, the Medellín Metro is a product of the urban planning of the Antioquia department of Colombia. It is part of the Aburrá Valley Integrated Transport System (''Sistema Integrado de Transporte del Valle de Aburrá'', SITVA). The city of Medellín and its urban complex (ten cities in the Aburrá Valley) had a period of relatively recent industrial development that started in the 1930s. The streetcar (''tranvía'') at the beginning of the 20th century can be considered a predecessor of the current Medellín Metro.
