There were 1.8 billion rail passenger journeys in the United Kingdom. Light rail and tram travel also continued to grow, to the highest level (0.3 million journeys) since comparable records began in 1983. In 2018/19, there was £18.1bn of public expenditure on railways, an increase of 12% (£1.9bn).
Overhead line , 600 V DC. System map. The Toronto streetcar system is a network of eleven streetcar routes in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).

3,677. Yes, yes and yes. The long version: the light rail is a (modern) tram system that serves mainly Tuen Muen and Yuen Long. Not to be confused with the tram on HK island. The MTR is a mass transporation system, kinda like a subway (aka urban rail) and local rail system (East and West Rail lines). The Airport Express (AEL) is a speedier MTR.
Light rail encompasses any passenger-only service that isn't 100% segregated rights of way on broad/standard gauge tracks. Trams (including old style wholly on-street single vehicle systems, modern style that use a mix of segregated rights of way with limited street running) both fall within light rail, which would also cover local people mover systems, leisure/heritage stuff, and so on.
Rapid Rail: The modern heavy rail systems constructed in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s were often known as Rapid Rail. In fact, the Rs in BART and MARTA both stand for ‘Rapid’. However the distinction gets a little blurry here. Rapid Rail systems typically serve the metropolitan area as a whole. Trams, alternatively, integrate more with street traffic and may have designated lanes or mixed traffic lanes, leading to a more accessible but sometimes slower service. Metros are part of rapid transit systems with wider station spacing and high capacity, whereas trams stop more frequently and are best for short to medium distances. Sumera Saeed. A2lRhlE.
