Light rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3255 words) |
 | Light rail or light rail transit (LRT) is a particular class of urban and suburban passenger railway that utilizes equipment and infrastructure that is typically less massive than that used for rapid transit systems, with modern light rail vehicles usually running along the system. |
 | Light rail is also notably low-impact with regards to hard-to-measure quality of life variables (except noise--q.v.), whereas highway construction has historically wreaked havoc on the social capital of neighborhoods where it occurs and leads to cases of alleged cancer clusters and noise pollution in areas directly adjacent to even moderately-traveled routes. |
 | LRT skeptics may also be intentionally ignoring the network effect, whereby the addition of one node to a network increases the utility of all other nodes. |
