Canadian flavour of this, from the late 90s was that
1. SkyTrain (driverless monorail) in Vancouver ran under OS/2
2. All street lights in Toronto were managed by a single 486 box running QNX
Not sure how true #2 was, but Skytrain had an OS/2 position open for a while, so it was a part of their setup for sure.

- fouc 7y agoQNX was developed in Waterloo near Toronto so I wouldn't be surprised about #2.
- goodcanadian 7y agoSkyTrain is not a monorail. It is standard (driverless) light rail.
- eps 7y agoQuite possible. It's been 10 years since I last used it.
- inferiorhuman 7y ago1. SkyTrain (driverless monorail) in Vancouver ran under OS/2 Yep. It runs Alcatel/Thales' SelTrac software. Basically the same system that SF's Muni and London's DLR use.
