Neću da sudim u napred, rekli su da stručnajci tek treba daju te parametre,pa kad budemo videli studiju,jednu ili dve ,koliko sam razumeo do sada se razgovaralo o predlozima,a o realnoj opciji iza dobro zatvorenih vrata,ali jasno je da će se raditi o međudržavnom aranžmanu tj.ugovoru (koncesija,kredit) a tako nešto mogli bi da nam pruže Rusi,Kinezi možda Francuzi,iz odluke grada vidi se da Lrt ili brzi tramvaj više nije opcija,a garant je odluka Skupštine Grada.Metro srednjeg kapaciteta nešto i nismo dobro pretresli,pa eto prilike da i o tome iznesemo mišljenje..:kafa:
In rail transport, a medium-capacity system (MCS) is a non-universal term coined to differentiate an intermediate system between light rail and heavy rail. The concept is similar to Light Metro, seen in European countries (see section Variants of the term). A medium-capacity system is proposed when an area requires a rapid transit service but the predicted ridership falls between the gap of the other two rail tiers. In contrast with light rail, a medium-capacity system is usually running on an exclusive right-of-way. Furthermore, the distance between stations is much longer. An MCS may also be a branch connection to another mode of a heavy-capacity transportation system, such as an airport or the main route of a metro network..
Advantages and Disadvantages
Light metros can generally operate faster than heavy-rail rapid transit systems, due to shorter dwell times at stations and the faster acceleration/deceleration of lighter trains. For example, express trains on the New York City Subway are about as fast as the Vancouver SkyTrain, but express trains skip most stops on lines where they operate.
Medium-capacity systems have a latent weakness in that as the service district's population increases, the increased transportation demand might create bottlenecks. But it is difficult to extend the platforms once in operation, since it must be done without interfering with traffic, especially for underground railway systems. Some railway planners[who?] may make provisions such as longer platforms than necessary so that they will be capable, in future, of accommodating trains with more cars or longer cars. The Ma On Shan Line in Hong Kong has even applied the metro standard (with less car configuration) for a possible link with the
