N Light Rail Transit
Light rail transit refers to urban rail systems with a lower capacity and speed than heavy rail, operating on exclusive rights-of-way or in mixed traffic. These systems typically use electric power and offer frequent service, making them an attractive option for commuters and tourists alike. As part of the broader category of Rail Transportation within Travel and Transportation, light rail transit provides a more localized mode of transportation that complements other forms of rail travel such as commuter and intercity trains. By offering a sustainable and efficient means of transportation, light rail systems contribute to reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality in urban areas, thus enhancing the overall travel experience for passengers.
