Sky Train and Subway
Hello,
In our city, we have both sky train and subway. I wonder, if I don't want to spcify it, is there a common word can be used to call both of them.
Thanks.

I think that trains may also refer to trains runing between cities. I don't want to include this type of train.

Or you could say "public transportation," but that would also include buses (assuming your city has buses.) "I don't have a car -- could you tell me how to get to your house using public transportation?"

I just going to create a form for property owners to fill in wheter their properties located close to a station of these transportation. So I need to find a word for this field.

They are both part of the rail transit system.
The Sky Train is often classed as Light Rapid Transit (LRT) and sometimes referred to as a 'People Mover'.
Subway is not considered 'Light'.
