When development on [[New WolvHaven (4th Haven)]] was beginning in late 2013, Axton had a vision to develop the city's metro rail network. However, disagreements with [[User:SilverWolv|SilverWolv]] soon surfaced. Axton had wanted to build a transport network that followed closely to the ''form follows function'' principle with all stations being modern, whereas SilverWolv wanted a metro that had architectural diversity that included historic and modern segments of the network.

There was also disagreements on the technology to be used. SilverWolv wanted piston-based glass [[Platform Screen Doors]] whereas Axton opted for a iron-door based approach.


This disagreement eventually led to the granting of a concession to BERT for the construction of a secondary alternative rail network that would mostly remain elevated, similar to the BTS Skytrain in Bangkok which was the main inspiration of BERT originally. Meanwhile, the [[WolvHaven Metro (4th Haven)]] would run mostly underground. BERT was meant to compliment the metro network.
