The Metro Rail System

In Los Angeles many people have cars and tend to live in houses. But over the last decade Los Angeles has accumulated a little over 10million people. An there are still people coming from all over the world; Because of the perfect weather, nice scenery, and sexy people. Now I told you this because people aren’t buying houses any more. No sir everyone is living in apartments, condos, and in pit house sweets in hotels. They are all being built around one thing. Public transportation buses, bike station where they can rent it with an allotted amount of time. Having companies build right next to the metro so it is an easy commute; all have to do is remember your stop. The metro has been booming with people so the city is building more condos and apartments. This increase in population produced jobs, living arrangement and mobility. With rapid growth of population there are going to be more and more cars and less road to drive on. Will increase public

Toronto’s public transit system is a mess, and it is about to get much worse. Congestion on Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses and subways already stops many Toronto commuters from even considering taking public transit, despite the gridlock on city roads. In 2013, an average of 900,000 daily commuters crowded onto overcrowded buses and subways, according to a TTC operating statistic, further burdening a system that severely failed to keep up with Toronto’s population growth. (TTC Operating Budget, 2013) In ten years, the ridership on the Yonge-University-Spadina line jumped from 583,000 people per work day to 711,000. (ibid). With the population of the GTA projected to double, over the next 20 years, another million vehicles will join

In today's day and age, an increasing urgency must be put on the issue of transportation and its relation to society. Man owes it to himself to address the issue of transportation with practicality and, as one of the biggest polluters, ultimate discretion. One of the most practical and responsible forms of transportation available today is mass transit. However, a problem is present in American society in that mass transit is not as plentiful as it should be. Societies' across the globe are embracing mass transit much more quickly than Americans are. This problem can be remedied through proper education of the benefits of mass transit. Mass transit is the ideal future of travel for

A Case Study on the California High Speed Rail System (CAHSR) - Is It Feasible?

The rise of mass transit in the beginning seemed like a great idea everything did seem to go well and it really benefited the majority of Americans. Many people used mass transit as a faster efficient way to get around that they had never seen before. Electric trolleys as started in the article “The Rise and Fall of mass transit” were the start of the urban expansion that came about. At the time real estate owners and transit owners developed a good system to ensure economic development in the cities. In the early 1900s there was a decline in mass transit development although there was a development in automobile technology. As said in the passage entrepreneurs and private corporations came together and invested more in street cars these were the reason as to why there was such a corruption in mass transit. During this time Americans demands a better control of the mass transit system which was necessary and these large corporations had no interest in the welfare of the citizens rather only in making a large profit.

First, the city of Perris is a fast growing community in Southern California and as a result, some goals for the city of Perris are eliminating the blight, promoting compatible developments, emphasizing infrastructure improvements, stimulating economic growth, encouraging private sector investment, preserving historic structure, etc. and thus, the city has gone through numerous economic developments. Moreover, one of the city’s newest projects has been the development and expansion of the Metrolink commuter railroad Perris Valley Line, which will allow commuters to travel from Perris to Los Angeles on the 91 line. Since the starting point, officials from the state, local, and federal level have been involved with this project.

These issues and many others will be fleshed out as part of a $175,000 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning grant we’ve secured to come up with a comprehensive Rail Corridor Plan. With information presented comprehensively at community meetings, the Council and the public will be able to discuss the possibilities for long-term solutions such as trenching (as in Solana Beach), more under-crossings like the Swami’s pedestrian underpass at Santa Fe Drive, and all other options. Over the past 30 years, the city has seen multiple studies, and those results will be compiled and presented as part of the Rail Corridor

Trains are everywhere in our society, we have jokes, toys, movies, and children’s television shows, but did you know rail transport started in 6th century Greece? The city of San Antonio, Texas is a fast-growing metropolitan city that has a very tremendous amount of people. It has been estimated that the city will grow by another million people in the next ten to twenty years. San Antonio’s traffic is becoming a huge issue and is quickly approaching to be one of the most congested areas in the states. The public transport in San Antonio consists of a very complex bus system, taxicabs, Trolley’s downtown, and the growing market of ridesharing drivers. San Antonio has had many talks and negotiations throughout the last two decades on getting a Light Rail system constructed to help with public transportation. This proposal is for specific businesses, the city of San Antonio and Bexar County to come to a funding agreement.

The New York City Subway System has an extremely rich and detailed history that dates to the late nineteenth century. Before the system that the public currently takes advantage of when they visit New York City, there were an extensive amount of public transportation options that were available to the general public. For example, horse and carriages, omnibuses, and trolley systems were all used as a means of transportation throughout the nineteenth century. Once the idea for a subway system to be built was introduced, most people did not believe that it was possible. However, they were soon proven wrong after Alfred E. Beach secretly built the first subway system that was used in New York City. Once people saw that subterranean travel was a viable means of transportation, it did not take long until the subway system that is used today to come along. The New York City subway system revolutionized the way the general public traveled throughout the city, and inspired other growing cities to build subterranean travel systems of their own.

The hidden purpose of the subway system which Jurgis helps to construct is to break the teamsters’ union. Because Jurgis got hit by one of the rail freight cars, he broke his arm and lost his job.

A New York Daily News editorial “Dumb as a Doornail” commented “to contemplate this nonsense [of installing protective barriers on subway platforms] is self-evidently a waste of time and money” when that idea first introduced in 2011. The editorial also wrote that “the risks of [death and disfigurement] are far too minuscule to justify all the expense and effort”. Likewise, Jennifer Peltz in “After NYC subway deaths, barriers get new eye” reported that “the challenges [of installing the barriers into the long-established subway system] would be considerable” because of “the widely varying architecture” and “the different types of trains”. Oppositely, Peltz reported that Japan with a long-established subway system has managed to successfully

The city I chose is New York. The one transportation is the Elevated train. The New York have this in 1868. At 1903 the train don’t used manrai it changed to electric power and is is a clean ride. The Elevated train is also known as El rail.

The light rail line extends from the Nine Mile station all the way to the Peoria station, connecting to the H line. The R-line is the only light rail that travels through Aurora, connecting riders to the University of Colorado, Children's hospital, and the VA hospital. According to the RTD General Manager and CEO Dave Genova, “the line is significant in that it completes another important connection and mobility opportunity on the eastern side of the metro area, connecting commuters to important destinations throughout the

Today’s experience was pretty much a unique one. Probably because it was not done individually but it was required to be done in groups. It was amazing to do a community investigation and have four completely different people jump on a Metrorail together. I was amazed of what everyone had to say, the differences in opinions and the type of discussions that we were having between one another. To begin with I knew I was going to be one of the few to be excited to hop on the Metrorail and explore the different areas of Houston which my hypothesis was right. I can still recall how everyone followed me to the station when they found out I have used the Metrorail before. To be honest I thought it was pretty funny to the point, I walked around campus
