INTRODUCTION:
MetroBus or Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) is an advancement in Pakistan’s infrastructure after almost a decade, boosting economy and first advancement that is for the benefit of the lower income level class. The ability of a population to move with ease, predictability and appropriate speed to a great extent determines the speed and quality of economic development. Lack of mobility of the population adds to the woes of a badly-governed country. Lahore, the second largest city of Pakistan with an estimated population of nearly 10 million people, a city facing congestion, pollution, large amounts of traffic every day, this was the solution, the MetroBus project was first initiated in Lahore. The second implementation of this project

All his work is filled with high drama. He thinks up grand projects, and executes them at lightning speeds. By the time the opponents grasp the idea of his latest endeavor and start protesting, the project is up and running. The Lahore Metrobus has been no exception.
Reactions to the Rs30 billion project, like any big number, have been opposed. Opponents have called it an extravagant political stunt, a mark on Lahore’s beauty and insensitive to the city’s history and heritage. Opponents claim it has divided the city between the haves and have-nots and done little to relieve traffic congestion, which was the promise along with cheap transportation.
The Metrobus has also been termed an unjust expenditure, with the 27-km line costing more than allocation to any other sector (including education, health, water) under the Punjab Annual Development

• Attract tourism: The Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus Project, has allowed the tourists both national and international, travel safely and enjoy the beauty of Islamabad.
• Reduce crime: The Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus Project will help reducing crimes, as the safety of the bus service will help this tremendously.
• Improve pedestrian safety: Chances of traffic accidents are very slim for the Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus Project.
• Improve the environment: Increased awareness of the importance of environmental issues demand a green project, which has been the case with Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro Bus Project, with more cars/motorcycles of the road, less gas emissions.
Even though many such benefits exist for this project many still disagree with it, they believe that certain things are being lost in the process to bring about this project, and others still believe that there are cheaper alternative
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is an open transport office that works transport, tram, streetcar, and paratransit benefits in Toronto, the capital of the territory of Ontario in Canada. It is the most seasoned and biggest of the urban travel specialist organizations in the Greater Toronto Area, with various associations with frameworks serving its encompassing regions.
Steve Kaffen stated that he is a resident of D.C. living in the Dupont Circle area. He stated that Metro has a credibility problem. The outreach from the Board and the GM are extremely important to addressing this issue. To compensate for the possible change in service hours on the Metrorail, Mr. Kaffen suggest that Metro run a heavy bus system throughout major section of each jurisdiction in order to give customers ample transportation. Mr. Evans indicated that Metro has been working on such a proposal to run Metrobus everywhere there is a rail line. This will ensure that all customers are served.
Improving transit will reduce commute time and amount of cars on the road. Toronto is ranked 47th worst traffic in the world. This means that Toronto has a real traffic problem. We must improve the system. This means, having better bus routes and more buses, more subway lines. Toronto currently has only 4 subway lines. This is nothing compared to New York with 34 lines. If our transit
As a student coming from Vaughan to Union it takes the train every 30 mins to come to the Vaughan. Having less transportation causes inconvenience which draws to another issue when it comes to waiting for a bus for twenty minutes. For a change, we should have trains and buses come frequently in times of ‘rush hours’ at popular destinations. It saves people valuable time and they can get home earlier to their family. The government should upgrade their system for express transportation for those individuals who live far, from Union to Barrie or Union to Brampton. It takes about 2 hours with few stops in between. Having an upgrade system on express trains will benefit because 2 hours can be reduced to an hour or 30 minutes train ride. It will make people want to go to trains because it saves their time. They don’t need to use their car as a result it helps lessens the traffic for buses and have greater improvement opportunities to meet the desired areas foe
nMotion is a controversial plan to invest more than $6B over the next 25 years in the public transportation infrastructure. The plan includes steps to simplify the system, develop BRT lines, build rail lines, and regionalize service to enhance efficiency. Many region leaders agree that the community must move in this direction, but unfortunately it is controversial due to the fact that public support for such an investment is not strong.

The funding was taken from Baltimore’s local county highway improvement project. The funding reallocation creates two major problems for Baltimore. The first problem is that city commuters use the local highway daily to get to work. Secondly, funding for the Baltimore’s rapid bus service to transport commuters to the city no longer exist and therefore increasing traffic congestion. Commuters now have to endure increasing traffic congestion because more cars are on as road that cannot improve because funding was given to another project.
It has positive, and negative sides to the project. I know that it will bring eighty five thousands jobs according to the video on their website, and a billion dollars worth of wages. It will bring economic stability to thousands and that part of the pipeline
I propose a green expansion that will go towards building electric buses and trains. Individuals could submit a one-time form to the government proving that they have a household income of less than $30,000 a year and receive monthly bus tokens. By giving free bus tokens it will help those in need in the United States by providing them more autonomy to travel without the stress of worrying about affordability. Be implementing a green policy towards public transportation we can decrease the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in our environment; reducing the effects of global warming, protect communities from air pollution, and create public sector
I am writing in response to the light rail article. I agree with dropping the light rails because students complain daily about getting left behind bus stops and bad service, but there are other ways to get around the city without a bus, such as getting a car, taking the taxi, and carpooling with other people.
I believe that, it should be considered carefully, so that tax payers’ dollars aren’t wasted. Also, the disruption of the beauty of the downtown area would be avoided. I do believe that serious thought should be given to the implementation of the LRT route. All of the pros and cons of the LRT should be discussed and they should examine if it’s beneficial to build or not to build.
If Amtrak and Metrolink want to use personality tests on their employees, the MMPI would be most effective. The positives of this test far outweigh the cons. The test examines everything about a person, from their self-esteem to emotions. It can also identify any signs of disorder in an individual. It is also widely used by many different companies to assess the success a person might have in a high-risk public safety position. The MMPI is widely considered to be the most reliable personality test. It dives much deeper into a person's psyche than any of its counterparts, like the Rorschach Test. The only downside to the MMPI is the amount of time it takes to complete. With 567 true-false questions, it can take a while to complete, but the information
The development of transportation system in the United States is a mandate of the federal government as delineated by the Constitution. The US has enjoyed a legacy in development and exploration of transport system channels. As a result, this has enhanced movement of people and goods across the nation. Presently, the US has an advanced network of paved highways and the world’s most sophisticated commercial aviation architecture. However, triumph of the transportation system in the US can be considered as a blessing and a curse in terms of its ability to increase and reduce urban congestion. Recently, the stimulus plan was proposed with the aim of reducing urban congestion. Notably, there are people who support while others do not. An analysis of high-speed rail operations will help decision makers understand that high-speed rail will not work.
There are really many challenges if we try to improve public transportation, the government will be cost a lot of
