Worldwide: number of low-entry light rail vehicles 2021, by region

Published by Statista Research Department, Jan 30, 2024
Currently, Europe holds the largest share of low-entry light rail transit (LRT) vehicles worldwide with nearly 12,000 vehicles in operation, which is far more than any of the other regions combined. This is in stark contrast with Africa which only has 59 low-entry vehicles in operation despite having nearly double the population of Europe.

As of 2021, over 400 cities worldwide have developed functioning light rail and tram (LRT) systems. This represents an upswing in the number of worldwide LRT systems and vehicles in use after a long period of decline during the second half of the 20th century.
