Light
Rail
Light Rail is an at-grade
transit system almost entirely within existing street rights of way. The
typical configuration has two tracks in the center of a two-way street,
with center-platform stations. Another configuration is to locate the
tracks in the curb lanes of one-way or two-way streets, using reserved
sidewalk areas as stations. Light rail has frequent stops. Generally light
rail is more costly than a bus alternative, but less expensive than heavy
rail.
