NOTE 1: CEN/CLC Guide 26 defines Metro, Tram and Light Rail as public transport systems permanently guided at least by one rail, intended for the operation of local, urban and suburban passenger services with self-propelled vehicles and operated either segregated or not from general road and pedestrian traffic.

NOTE 2: The PAS function on existing vehicles may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this document.
