LRT used to be called "streetcars". Toronto has had them for well
over a century.
There is also GO transit that started around 1967 but I guess that
would best be described as HRT.
There used to be something called "interurban" railways. There were a
few in the Toronto area. These typically had a single, self propelled
car and were lighter than regular railroads. The Halton County Radial
Railway, was created on a segment of the line going to Guelph.
Interurbans were often called radial railways, as they were like spokes
around a hub. I recall my mother talking about one that used to go to
Richmond Hill.
GO Transit started in 1967, but would be closer to regular trains.
