<p class="MsoNormal">The exact term for REM would be LRRT (Light rail rapid transit) that is between a RRT (Rapid rail transit, Subway / aerial metro, up to 35000 passenger/hour per direction) and a LRT (Light rail transit / tram, up to 8000 passengers/hour
per direction)<o:p></o:p></p>

> Shouldn't the REM route relations be tagged as route=subway? It's currently tagged with route=light_rail, but shouldn't that be for LRT systems instead? Or is the tagging for practical distinction given these have capacity between LRT and subway? _______________________________________________<br>
