Rapid transit systems

Rapid transit systems are urban transport networks designed for high-capacity, quick travel within cities and surrounding areas. They typically include subways, light rail, and elevated trains, operating on dedicated tracks. These systems reduce congestion by offering a fast, reliable alternative to cars and buses, often with frequent service and fewer stops. Designed to move large numbers of passengers efficiently, they play a crucial role in public transportation, enhancing mobility and reducing environmental impact. Major cities worldwide, like New York and London, have extensive rapid transit networks that connect neighborhoods and business districts.
