Streetcar systems, updated to the new technology known as LRV (Light Rail Vehicles) are the best choice for lines that require at least 15.000 passengers/hour, or 25.000 if the system is totally new - laying down rails, repaving roads and maintaining the infrastructures for such a system need a lot of fundings or income from passenger transit.

No problem. I can read numbers in American or European.
