a type of railway operation where trains run directly on urban streets shared with road traffic
What is a "street running train"?
A street running train is a type of train that operates on tracks located within city streets, rather than on separate railway lines. These trains often share space with cars, buses, and pedestrians, making them an important form of public transportation in some urban areas. Street running trains are typically used for local passenger services or goods delivery in areas where building separate tracks would be difficult or too expensive. They help reduce traffic and provide efficient travel or delivery options while offering a unique solution to transportation challenges in busy cities.
