Tram
A tram (also known as a streetcar or trolley in Canada and the United States) is an urban rail transit in which Rolling stock, vehicles, whether individual railcars or multiple-unit trains, run on tramway tracks on urban public streets; some include segments on segregated Right-of-way (property access), right-of-way. The tramlines or tram networks operated as public transport are called tramways or simply trams/streetcars. Because of their close similarities, trams are commonly included in the wider term ''light rail'', which also includes systems separated from other traffic. Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than Main line (railway), main line and rapid transit trains. Most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a Pantograph (transport), pantograph sliding on an overhead line; older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. In some cases, a contact shoe on a third rail is used. If necessary, they may have dual power systems—electricity in city stre ...

Railway Lines Opened In 2007
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and freight transport globally, thanks to its energy efficiency and potentially high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by diesel or electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety. Precursors of railways driven by human or animal power have existed since antiquity, but modern rail transport began with the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 19th c ...

LRTA 1100 Class
The LRTA 1100 class is the second-generation class of high-floor light rail vehicles of the LRT Line 1. The trains were purchased in 1996 as part of a capacity expansion project funded by official development assistance (ODA) loans from Japan. Entering service in 1999, many vehicles were taken out of service due to lack of spare parts. The trains subsequently underwent re-engineering and refurbishment by Voith from 2019 to 2020. Operational history Background and purchase By 1990, the LRT Line 1 in Metro Manila reached its capacity, necessitating the need for capacity expansion. The project, launched in 1994 and undertaken at a cost of , was one of the flagship projects of the administration of President Fidel V. Ramos.
