True, if you consider a max train length of 4 cars being heavy rail. Compared to 8,10, or 11 car long heavy rail subway trains in New York, that is a difficult pill for me to swallow.
HART station platform lengths being built max out at 240 feet.
NY subway station platform lengths are (1) IRT stations have platforms that are generally 525 feet long; (2) most BMT platforms are around 615 feet long, and (3) some IND platforms are 660 feet.
Note: 240 feet is less than half the length of NY subway's shortest platforms.
