Seems even Hokkaido facts are becoming wrong, bad influence from the cray cray mom ?
Rubber tyred metro/subways aren't rare at all, the tech was created by a scotsman in 1846 and applied for the first time in Paris in 1951, nowadays many of Paris subway lines are rubber tyred and you can find those also in many other french cities and around the world like in Montreal, Santiago, Mexico, Kobe, Hiroshima, Osaka, Tokyo, Busan, Incheon, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Lausane, Taipei, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, San Francisco, etc...
So it's definitely not rare, and certainly not a Sapporo centric tech (Sapporo subway was the first one in Japan using it but a number of cities around the world already had one before Japan even started working on it)...
