In fact, I will be visiting Rennes in 2018 specifically to see their new "Ligne b" which is the world premiere of Siemens CityVal technology.
I think this rubber tire metro thing is a crock. I spent a lot of time in my youth on Montreal's rubber tired metros. Part of the deal was that they were supposed to give a smoother ride. But they are way bumpier than all types of rail that I've been on.
