They are currently installing a light rail transport system in my City.
Really. Rail transports transfer passengers and goods on train tracks.
That's correct, it can be much more efficient than driving a vehicle in a crowded City.
It's cool how the vehicles run on tracks instead of a flat surface
So cool, and the technology is advancing so much each year.
Rail transport
Rail transport is a means of transferring passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which is also known as tracks. It is also commonly referred to as train transport. In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on ties (sleepers) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves.
be mitigated by introducing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and ride-sharing programs, but in most cases the solution adopted has been to add more lanes to the roads.
By contrast, light rail vehicles can travel in multi-car trains carrying a theoretical ridership up to 20,000 passengers per hour in much narrower rights-of-way, not much more than two car lanes wide for a double track system. They can often be run through existing city streets and parks, or placed in the medians of
