	Light rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 is similar to the British English term light railway long used to distinguish railway operations carried out under a less rigorous set of regulation using lighter equipment at lower speeds from mainline railways.
		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.

	Metro's 2040 Plan
		Considering the data that Metro did project, the most stunning fact is that all of the densification, New Urban design, and 130 miles of light rail in concept B has almost no effect on auto usage.
		Metro is a New Urbanist dream: a regional planning agency with the power, the will, and the idealism to force an entire urban area of more than a million people to undergo a New-Urban makeover.
		Metro's obsession with light rail, with the goal--according to Fregonese--of using it to promote high-density development, is absurd.

	DCist: A Little Less Light in Metro Stations? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the lights that line the station platforms are a neat addition to the station's architecture and feel, they serve little practical purpose.
		Metro should be directing its money towards the problems that directly affect the ability of users to get from one place to another -- crowded railcars, track maintenance, etc. Lights, carpets, and cushions are all nice additions, but we can still ride Metro without them.
		It seems to me that light lifetimes are extremely variable, and while one bulb might blow out after a month or two, a seemingly identical one might last a year if given a chance.

	Variations of the Letter M - Metro Bits - mic-ro.co(s)m (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most metros have logos or symbols to mark their station entrances, rolling stock, and printed matter such as maps or tickets.
		Since most metros around the world are indeed called 'metros' (only few are called subway, underground, U-Bahn, T-bana or something else), many metro logos are more or less fancy variations of the letter M. There are different kinds of metro logos.
		In some cities a logo stands for the metro system itself, while in other cities only logos are found which represent the companies that are operating one or more metro lines.
