| Sumario: | The paper identifies possible solutions of reducing the degree of urban congestion
and pollution caused by the large number of vehicles which overcrowd the entrances of
Romania’s big cities at rush hours, as a consequence of extending the metropolitan areas
during the last decades. The experience of western states has proven the efficiency of
introducing railway public transport systems with LRV vehicles, fact which led to the
improvement of life quality for the inhabitants from the urban environment, as well as from the
rural one. The reference examples are followed by a case study concerning a concept project
made in the Faculty of Visual Arts and Design, Iasi. This project aims the conversion of a
conventional Duwag M8 tram into a vehicle suited for the specific needs of metropolitan
transport in the context of the inauguration of the first Iasi metropolitan railway route at a
national level |
