Transportation, 1980
This paper describes current light rail transit planning and operation in Canada's major cities and smaller communities. There are ten urban areas in Canada with 250,000 or more people. Two of these have light rail systems in operation, three have lines under construction and nine others are planning LRT systems.

Designing Bus Rapid Transit for Light Rail Transit Convertibility
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006This paper focuses on considerations that should be included in the design of a busway–bus rapid transit (BRT) facility for future conversion from BRT to light rail transit (LRT). A selection of BRT and LRT projects in North America and overseas were reviewed to assess the current industry practice in relation to BRT conversion to LRT.

Transportation Letters, 2012
Light Rail Transit (LRT) has been promoted to North American cities as a means for encouraging real estate development in the vicinity transit stops, and, due to its real and perceived advantages over buses, LRT is also seen by public transportation providers as an opportunity to increase public transportation's modal share.

The Resurgence of Light Rail Transit
Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1976With the development of a new Standard Light Rail Vehicle there has been an increased interest in light rail systems for community mass transit. Light Rail Transit systems can be tailored to the needs of communities having too many passengers for successful busing and too few for an elaborate metro system.

Light Rail Transit Urban Insertion and Safety
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014This paper provides a rough design tool kit to improve the safety of light rail transit (LRT) urban insertion. This tool kit was prepared after the analysis of more than 130 examples of good and bad practices related to LRT urban insertions in 13 European countries, which took place during the first working phase of the European Cooperation in Science

Light Rail Transit Capital Cost Study
1991The Fixed Guideway Capital Cost Study is an attempt to develop a capital cost data base of actual unit costs to construct and procure the various assets necessary to operate mass transit busway and rail systems. The report documents the initial effort at this overall objective by concentrating on the light rail mode of passenger rail systems.

Bus Rapid Transit and Light Rail
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005A parametric cost model was developed to provide both average and marginal cost estimates and to compare annual operating costs for light rail transit (LRT) and bus rapid transit (BRT) under an assumption of additional peak service on weekdays. The model uses readily available data from the U.S. National Transit Database. For illustrative purposes, it

Light Rail Transit Experience in Madrid, Spain
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013The development of new transport systems often leads to demographic and socioeconomic changes in the implementation area. The extent and the type of such impacts vary, however, and can depend on existing settlement patterns, socioeconomic conditions, and project objectives.

Light Rail Transit in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1978A review of rapid transit planning and implementation in Pittsburgh with major emphasis upon the Port Authority's Early Action Program South Hills fixed guideway element. As the result of waning community consensus for proceeding with the rubber-tired Skybus, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) suspended further implementation in ...
