... I don't suppose there's a diagram or table of terms? Light I understand as being in contrast to Heavy (ye olde CN Rail). Automated means it probably doesn't have an operator in each vehicle. Metro... metropolitan? It operates in a large urban area?
Light Rail Transit (the carriages and contents are light compared to CN; they operate on rails instead of, say, on a road or in the air or something; the purpose is moving things (mostly people)) is the easiest one for me to grok by disassembly.
