People Mover?

There's some usage of the word people mover in this article that doesn't feel right. (linguistically). Should they be changed to something like transport or train? Was this a rather incorrect translation? Or is this one of them japanese terms? Feureau 13:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

According to people mover, the term originated in the U.S. "People mover" is the usual term used for these automated light rails. —ptk✰fgs 15:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Decrease in population

re: "However, in 1978, the town's size was cut down to 47,000 people..." and "In 1984, the town was again downsized to 40,000 people"

This implies that the population's decrease was a result of some sort of order or instruction from above, as opposed to natural migration. Is this the case? Whatever the case, there is something lost in (cultural and/or linguistic) translation. --RealGrouchy 21:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Tokadai is a planned suburb ("New Town"), so there were no people at all living there when the project started, and the figures refer to planned population. I'll clarify the wording to make this clearer. Jpatokal 03:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
