Perugia will have a mass public transport system built on highly innovative technologies (light rail) that can provide fast and efficient access to the city's strategic areas.
<p>
The <B>"Minimetro"</B> system will consist of 25 cars accommodating up to 50 passengers each. The cars will run on rubber wheels along a pair of steel tracks. The cars are not self-propelled. They are hooked for traction to a steel chain rope that is driven by an electric motor. In addition, because the cars run on rubber wheels, the system's noise level is below normal environmental values. 
<p>
The cars move in sequence at a frequency of under a minute and for this reason, the system is "semi-continuous."
