What is a Light Rail Station?
Light rail transit is a type of mass transit popular in urban areas. Though typically run on electricity, some diesel-powered systems also identify themselves as light rail. Light rail systems are smaller and lighter than trains and often carry fewer passengers, but are usually more efficient and faster than other means of mass transportation such as buses. At a light rail station, passengers may get on and off trains or switch to alternate means of transport, as well as get information and use public facilities.
