Charlotte Streetcar Project
|
The streetcar is conceived as a "Portland" type streetcar system utilizing modern vehicle technology based on the European "Tram" that is designed to operate in mixed traffic on urban streets. Each low floor streetcar consists of a three-tier section vehicle with a capacity of 117 passengers and is designed for bi-directional operation with doors on both sides of the carbody. Modern streetcars are smaller and lighter than Light Rail Transit (LRT) vehicles and operate similiar to a bus with passengers getting on and off frequent stops along the street rather than at stations, but hold a greater number of passengers than a bus.
