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

[mpd618]

I think it would help quite a bit if the industry came together to develop a single standard for catenary-free LRT. It would ultimately help sell more LRT systems.

How long have we waited for global, single standard for electrical outlets and associated power grids?

Cities don't really have a choice as to whether you use outlets and power grids. But cities do have a choice about whether they decide to build a light rail system. If the catenary makes a difference as to the attractiveness of the technology relative to other choices or the do-nothing option, then having a single global standard for catenary-free LRT could help the industry (Bombardier, Alstom, Siemens, Stadler, etc.) sell more product.
