RAPID TRANSIT

A rapid transit system is an electric passenger railway in an urban area with a high capacity and frequency. This includes underground rails, subways, and elevated trains. Rapid transit systems usually run in tunnels or elevated above the street, but are always separated from other traffic. Rapid transit is faster and has a higher capacity than trams or light rails, but is not as fast as commuter rails. This topic covers the latest developments on rapid transit.
