Light Rail Transit has many benefits: it is relatively inexpensive to produce, and the cars themselves are high capacity (about 280 people in a…

He also postulates that as for "IT spurred industry transformations, most of the ones that are going to happen have likely already happened or are in the process of happening." Although industry and markets will continue to evolve and some will still undergo fundamental changes, Carr suggests that the buildout of IT is "much closer to its end than its beginning."

lead to the improvement in the standard of living among working people. Now with this new class, population started to increase, and with that a need to improve transportation.

Westward expansion in the US started mainly because of money. The west became a home for agriculture. Mining, a new money maker, first started there. The two industries drew people to work either in them, or in the towns where these workers resided. However, all this wouldn’t have been possible without the recently developed railroads. Railroads could transport product and people in a fraction of the time old wagon trains could. This new technology was what really made western expansion possible…
