rail transit systems

Rail transit systems are organized networks of trains, trams, or subways that transport passengers and goods over fixed routes. These systems operate on tracks, using electric or diesel power, and are designed to reduce traffic congestion, lower environmental impact, and provide efficient urban mobility. Common types include light rail (for cities), heavy rail (like subways), and commuter rail (connecting urban centers to suburbs). Rail transit systems often feature designated stations, schedules, and fare structures, making them an essential component of public transportation infrastructure in many regions around the world.
