The Union government has proposed a light urban rail transit system named 'Metrolite'.
It will be introduced in small cities and towns having lower projection of ridership.
Each train will have three coaches and a restricted speed of 25 kmph.
Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has issued standard specifications of the 'Metrolite' system which will be developed on surface and elevated stretches.
Metrolite will not have Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates, platform screen doors, X-ray and baggage scanner.
