MODERN EXPRESS TRAMS

MODERNE SNELTRAMS

This book starts from the how and why of the renewed interest in modern tramway technology or light rapid transit (LRT). An attempt has been made to build up a current picture of the state of the art, in which the most relevant features of LRT as a public transport system are highlighted, including the reasons for its rebirth, traffic management developments, town planning, environmental and system building considerations. A closing chapter assembles the most important criteria for financial, socio-economic, commercial and political evaluation, which are, wherever possible, quantified. /TRRL/
