Planning for the Metro system began since the inception of [[WolvHaven City]]'s 5th rendition - [[New Wolfminster (5th Haven)|New Wolfminster]]. However, development of the system was delayed for three years to allow for the foundation of the city to be laid so that the Metro System was not the primary focus. The delay meant that the system was able to adopt [[New Model Technology]] for its trains, avoiding many of the design constraints such as steep gradients and tight curves that would have been introduced had the system been developed around the traditional minecart system. | Planning for the Metro system began since the inception of [[WolvHaven City]]'s 5th rendition - [[New Wolfminster (5th Haven)|New Wolfminster]].

Unlike the [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)]] which was heavily based off the Paris Metro with high station and line density, the new Metro system was conceptualised to be a heavy-rail commuter-metro system with much wider station spacing, and fewer lines. This was criticised by some as New Wolfminster was over 10 times the size of its predecessor, and was addressed with the consideration of the construction of several [[WolvHaven LRT (5th Haven)|Light Rail Transit (LRT)]] lines where needed. | Unlike the [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)]] which was heavily based off the Paris Metro with high station and line density, the new Metro system was conceptualised to be a heavy-rail commuter-metro system with much wider station spacing, and fewer lines.
