Light metro

Rail transport system with moderate capacity

Light metro, light rapid transit (LRT) or a medium-capacity system (MCS), is a rail transport system with a capacity greater than light rail, but less than rapid transit. It typically resembles a rapid transit system in terms of infrastructure, but typically features smaller rolling stock and stations, and may have a differing network topology. Since ridership determines the scale of a rapid transit system, statistical modeling allows planners to size the rail system for the needs of the area.
