I'm not particularly comfortable with 'rapid transit' either. It's mostly an American term, and jargon at that. It's also usually synonymous with 'metro', so this template includes plenty of things which it doesn't cover; even the people who use it for tramways don't usually apply it to trolleybuses.

I'm not sure that "France rapid transit" is quite the right term. A lot of people only consider metros to be rapid transit with tramways and guided buses not meeting the criteria. Also as suggested above I was proposing to add urban funiculars (and put Laon in with them) which are generally not rapid

I think we need to make clear that this template is just for existing and planned systems. As a counterpoint we could consider making a new template for former French tramways. Another point about this template is that I don't think that Laon should be considered a metro system for the following
321:. However, rather than take it out completely I would propose slightly expanding the scope of the template so that it covers self-contained French urban guided transport systems and we include a section on urban funiculars. Laon could be transferred to this section and we could also include the 442:
if you don't want to clutter the template, however this is a collapsible template so size isn't a problem: the contents will be hidden anyway. About the name, I agree that "rapid transport" is not the best of names so how about "urban transport"?

The first two individually don't necessarily mean that the system isn't a metro but I think that the combination of all four means that Laon doesn't pass the metro

as well as the Lyon funiculars. I think that there are some other systems as well. Thoughts?

The former tramways section could get quite large as there were quite a lot of them.

at all. My suggestion would be something like "France Urban guided transit".
