Mainly, the study involves the investigation of all the elements in making a geometric design of an LRT. In order to obtain the necessary datas, the group referred to the agencies involved in LRT I and LRT III and then to the books with respect to the railway system. The geometric design starts by designing the vertical and horizontal alignment of the Light Rail Transit. After the alignment or tract location has been finished, then follows the computation of the vertical curve and horizontal curve which is designed based on the comfort of the passengers. Also, an additional data and information is presented in proposing and constructing such transportation system as applied here in our country.
