		The Bombardier FLEXITY Swift vehicles offer a practical alternative as they run mostly on tracks separated from individual car traffic which allows travelling at a higher average speed.
		The Bombardier FLEXITY Swift family, first introduced in Cologne (Germany), became the trendsetter for solutions all over Europe in places such as London-Croydon (United Kingdom), Stockholm (Sweden), Istanbul (Turkey) as well as in the Netherlands.
		The proven modular vehicle concept used in producing the FLEXITY Swift vehicles is also reflected in significantly reduced investment and maintenance costs.

	Re: Here comes Staten Is. Light Rail?
		The minimum seems to be the Bombardier Flexity Classic, which has about a 5% capability, while the Skoda Astra is capable of climbing a 9 or 10 percent grade.
		Most LRVs seem to fall into the range of being able to tackle 7 to 8 percent grades, and that includes most LRVs similar to the Kinki-Sharyo (who is quite reticent on such details) LRVs that NJT operates.
		Presumably the MTA would go for some similar vehicle, whether it be a Kinki-Sharyo, a Bombardier Flexity Swift (like Minneapolis), a Siemens Avanto (like Houston and San Diego), or some variant of the Regio-Citadis from Alstom, which has yet to be imported to the states.
