 INTRODUCTION
MRT is the system which deals with
transfer of people in mass from one place to
another and not concerned with individuals

Its main purpose is to reduce the problem

of congestion and time delay due to vast
population growth generally in the
developing countries.

 FORMS OF MRTS:
Buses
Monorail
Heavy rail transit
Light rail transit
Sky bus
