United States Average • Speed: 33 mph • Trip: 24 miles • Cost Per Passenger Mile: $0.43 • Rail transit using ROW usually adapted from freight rail • Both clean diesel and electric are common; all recent new starts used clean diesel • Top speed is typically 60-90 mph, but speed impacted by station spacing Commuter Rail
United States Average • Speed:15 mph • Trip: 5 miles • Cost Per Passenger Mile: $0.70 • Rail transit using exclusive and mixed ROW • Almost all are electric, overhead power • Vehicles are faster, larger and require more complex construction vs. streetcar Light Rail
United States Average • Speed: 9 mph • Trip:2 miles (estimate) • Cost Per Passenger Mile: $0.70 • Rail transit using street ROW • Similar to light rail bus smaller, slower vehicles, simpler construction • Almost all are electric, overhead power Streetcar
United States Average: • Speed:20 mph • Trip: 5 miles (estimate) • Cost Per Passenger Mile: $1.00 • High speed, high capacity vs. fixed route • May include exclusive ROW, stations, signal priority, level boarding, prepaid fares Bus Rapid Transit
