When a municipality plans for a new Medium-Capacity Guideway Transit (MCGT) system, there is no clear process of choosing which system is the best for the given situation. Because of this, the MCGT Planning Guide was developed to analyze and compare the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the Automated People Mover (APM) systems. This Guide analyzes the basic characteristics of MCGT systems including capacity, headway, average speed, safety, and capital costs. It also develops an MCGT planning process and establishes a range of cost-performance criteria. Furthermore, this planning guide offers guidance to engineers, planners, and decision-makers in the initial identification of appropriate design concepts.
