LIGHT RAIL

It is a type of urban rail transit line system and is also the fastest growing form of rail transit in the world today. The locomotive weight and passenger capacity of light rail are smaller than those of ordinary trains, so it is called "light rail". Urban light rail has the advantages of large capacity, fast speed, low pollution, low energy consumption, punctual operation and high safety. Urban light rail, subway, urban railway and other forms of rail transit constitute the urban rapid rail transit system. It can effectively ease the tension between population and transportation resources, and between cars and transportation facilities. As an effective carrier to improve the current situation of urban transportation, light rail has become an important choice for modern metropolises. It greatly facilitates passengers' travel and enables residents to enjoy a higher quality of life. Light rail is also more in line with the standards of green transportation. The large-scale municipal supporting facilities construction where the track extends is more conducive to comprehensive environmental governance.
