The Rapid Transit System

A Rapid Transit System is a high-capacity, urban transportation network designed to move people quickly across a city. It typically consists of underground or elevated trains that run on dedicated tracks, separate from regular traffic. These systems are efficient, reliable, and reduce congestion by providing frequent service over core routes. They are usually powered by electricity and operate on fixed schedules, serving densely populated areas to facilitate quick and convenient travel within metropolitan regions. Examples include subway systems, metro lines, and light rails found in many cities worldwide.
