Light rail transit (LRT) is a form of passenger urban rail transit characterized by a combination of tram and metro features. While its rolling stock is more similar to a traditional tram, it operates at a higher capacity and speed, and often on an exclusive right-of-way.
Kolkata Light Rail Transit is a mass rapid transit system proposed for the city of Kolkata in India. The Government of West Bengal and SREI Infrastructure Finance signed a memorandum of understanding to set up the light rail transit system.
The tram system in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal, India, operated by West Bengal Transport Corporation after Calcutta Tramways Company was dissolved, is the oldest existing tram network operating in India, and oldest operating tramway in Asia.
