LRT is fine as long as it's grade-separated. Otherwise it's really just a glorified streetcar. Ironically, most of the new "LRT" systems have WORSE service frequency than a streetcar. LRT trains that run once every 15 or 20 minutes AND are not grade-separated for some or all of their length are not "rapid transit", despite what they may be called.
