Premetro

Hey kiddo, do you remember going on a train ride? Yes? Great! So, the premetro is like a special version of a train system that runs in some cities. It kind of looks like a subway train, but it can also run above ground like a regular train.

Now, the reason why cities have premetro is because sometimes they don't have enough space or money to build a full subway system. The premetro is like a smaller version of a subway that can still help people get around the city.

When you ride on a premetro train, you might notice that it runs on rails just like a regular train. But sometimes it goes underground, and other times it stays above ground on a special track.

In some cities, the premetro is also connected to the regular subway system. This means you could start your journey on a premetro train and switch to a regular subway train if you need to go further.

So next time you see a premetro train, remember that it's just like a train or a subway, but specially made for cities that need a smaller system to help people get around. Cool, huh?
