Editing Light rail (section)

====Capacity comparison====
The peak passenger capacity per lane per hour depends on which types of vehicles are allowed on the roads. Typically roadways have 1,900 passenger cars per lane per hour (pcplph).<ref>{{cite book|title=NCHRP Report 599: Default Values for Highway Capacity and Level of Service Analyses|year = 2008|url=http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_599.pdf#page=13|publisher=NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM| doi=10.17226/22061 | isbn=978-0-309-43229-0 }}</ref> If only cars are allowed, the capacity will be less and will not increase when the traffic volume increases.

When there is a bus driving on this route, the capacity of the lane will be higher and will increase when the traffic level increases. And because the capacity of a light rail system is higher than that of a bus, there will be even more capacity when there is a combination of cars and light rail. Table 3 shows an example of peak passenger capacity.
