LRT (Light Rail Transit) Systems

Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems are urban transportation networks that use purpose-built trains running on dedicated tracks or shared roadways, often in city centers and suburbs. They are designed to carry passengers efficiently between neighborhoods, reducing road congestion and providing a reliable transit option. LRTs typically operate at higher capacities than buses, with more comfort and speed, while being less expensive and more flexible than traditional heavy rail or metro systems. They often connect key areas like downtowns, shopping districts, and transit hubs, supporting sustainable urban mobility.
