Samenvatting
An attempt has been made to build up a current picture of the state of the art, in which the most relevant factors of Light Rapid Transit (LRT) as a public transport system are highlighted, including the reasons for its rebirth, traffic management developments, town planning, environmental and system building considerations. A closing chapter assembles the most important criteria for financial, socio-economic, commercial and political evaluations, which are, wherever possible, quantified.
