CARS FOR LIGHT RAPID TRANSIT

I Yearsley

Abstract

Recognising the value of light rapid transit where traffic flows do not demand full-scale metro construction, transport authorities in different parts of the world are planning to order tramcars. Such is the quality of the forty-year old American PCC design that it still forms the basis of cars being built today in several countries, but the author points out that it now has a powerful competitor in the standardised German articulated tramcar.
