I'm sorry but I don't know what either of the acronyms mean, but I assume both are metro lines, parts of which may be underground. Which is the reason for the rubber tyres. They are much quieter than steel wheels on steel rails. This idea was first tried on the Paris Metro and lines 1, 4, 6, 11, & 14 are so equipped.

Train a left a station at 5:00 at 45 m/h and train b left a station at 6:00 at 70 m/h when will they meet??

There is a type of LRT which is closer to a guided bus. They use a dedicated guideway and they roll on rubber tires. There is some sort of guide rail to guide the vehicles and also supply electricity. Typically airport "people movers" are like this. Monorails also usually run on rubber tires as well, though the guideway is much more prominent, obviously.
