Opening in 2015, the system soon met with much controversy and was eventually shut down and has since been demolished. Qtrack has since been designated as the name of any future light metro systems owned by RegioLinQ

WolvHaven was expanding into the upper WolfMinster area with new office buildings and skyscrapers being completed along with several metro extension projects that were built while the city grew such as the [[Metro Line 1|Line 1]] & [[Metro Line 2|Line 2]] La Resistance extension projects and the new [[Metro Line 3]]. Plans were also in place for the new [[Metro Line 4]] extension and [[BERT]] Circle and WolfMinster lines. Due to the large number of new lines and planned projects, the ground underneath East Rock Hospital was getting congested.

Autobus22, CEO of RegioLinQ proposed a 6 station light metro system titled Qtrack that would serve the developing La Resistance district. The argument was that the areas where Qtrack would serve were not served well enough by Metro and Qtrack would help to close these gaps in service. The proposed system would call for new twin tunnels to be bored underneath the city along with 6 brand new stations and 13 brand new trains to cater to the system.

After a series of disputes and controversies, the system was shut down and demolished. Tunnels and stations were all filled up and demolished. A short section of one of Qtrack's tunnels can still be seen at the University Metro Station. It is linked by a long narrow passageway behind a door. The entrance to Jourdain station can still be. seen. in ParkRoyal plaza, inside the building, but has been covered by a metal grill.
