	Light rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tram of the Luas system in Dublin, Ireland
		Light rail traces its pedigree to street railways, whereas rapid transit (metro) technology evolved from steam commuter operations, such as were seen in London, New York City, and Chicago.
		Light rail systems are generally cheaper to build than heavy rail, since the infrastructure is relatively insubstantial, and tunnels used in most metro systems are generally not required.

	Dublin's Light Rail Transit System
		Light Rail differs from regular train services because it is integrated with road traffic and often shares space with other vehicles.
		The RPA was established by the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act 2001 as a standalone, semi-state organisation responsible for the procurement of railway infrastructure systems.
		Now that Luas has been successfully launched in Dublin, the RPA is turning its attention to other projects including the development of two new light rail projects with the extension of Line B (Green Line) to Cherrywood and Line A (Red Line) to the Point Depot.
