The elevated metro

An elevated railway on concrete piers running above the street, with the skyline behind — proof that Vice City has a metro.

The structure is a concrete guideway carried on a line of piers, crossing above the road and continuing towards the towers. It is the shape of a light metro rather than a heavy freight line: a single elevated deck with a barrier along each side.

The piers underneath are painted, one design each, which links it to the mural district.

Public transport is not a given in the series. GTA IV had a subway; GTA V had a limited line. An elevated metro through the middle of the city is worth recording as a feature rather than as scenery.

How to recognise it

• A concrete elevated guideway on a line of piers
• Crossing above a street and running towards the towers
• A single deck with a barrier each side — light metro rather than freight
• Painted piers beneath

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 17:28.93. It is 1920 by 1080, and the subject occupies 1209 by 151 of it. Also in it: Crest Kayak, Crest Kayak, a motor yacht, and Water Taxi.

What we still do not know

• Whether the metro is rideable
• Whether it has stations you can enter
• Where the line runs
• Whether it is the same rail the freight train uses elsewhere
