Overground Systems

Overground systems refer to transportation networks that operate above ground, primarily including railways or transit lines. These systems, such as tramways, lighter rail, and commuter trains, are designed to facilitate urban and suburban travel. They are often elevated or built on ground level, distinguishing them from underground systems like subways. Overground systems can enhance accessibility, relieve road congestion, and promote efficient movement within and between cities. By connecting various destinations directly, they serve as vital components of public transport infrastructure, contributing to economic development and reducing reliance on cars.
