Light Rail Vehicles - LRT, ICTS, Monorail, and more

I think what might be throwing you all is the photo I posted of the test track, which is at-grade since it's in an enclosed environment at Lohr. Rennes ligne b will be entirely elevated and underground, never at-grade.

And that can be accomplished with LRT also. Again, what can CityVal do that LRT cannot?

I’m genuinely curious, in case you’re wondering. I confess to a strong LRT orientation, but I’m open to a better understanding of why other systems are popular as well.

This is a bit like MacGyver. Ridiculous analogy coming up, which depends on me remembering my MacGyver correctly: the fact that he does not use guns is a strength. The fact that he apparently can not use guns is a weakness.
