Today, #TrainTwitter will give you an exclusive look inside some of our trains! We'll be looking mostly at trains in Hokkaido and East Japan
misleading category; important difference isn't "light vs heavy" rail but exclusive vs shared right-of-way

if it has an exclusive ROW, I like it, if not, why bother putting it on rails?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

what is the light vs heavy distinction, anyway?
-
price, to be honest...FRA invented the term in the 70s to refer to (what I would call) half-assed rail projects
-
surface transit with not-entirely-exclusive ROW and low platforms
-
have you been on Portland, OR's light rail system? I think it's mostly exclusive ROW there
-
I think you're right; some LRT systems are like that--the point of the term is they don't *have* to have exclusive ROW...

...FRA considers that a corner that's ok to cut (obv I disagree)
