Public Transportation In The Late 1800s Research Paper

Indeed, economic revenue was not the most amazing part Fordism (the assembly line) had brought to the society; expansion of personal mobility was the rosy prospects the assembly brought into the society. Recall from earlier statement, the personal mobility was very low and poor during 1800s-1900s since public transportation was the only reliable transportation method. Within the development of the assembly line, more people and family were able to afford a car and move from one location to the other regardless of a public transit schedule or road restriction due to the distribution of railroad and waterways. As long as roads and highways were constructed (highways were constructed later, after the maturation of automotive industry), people …show more content…

However, after the analysis of this paper, it was apparent that this was a partial definition of Fordism and its contribution to automotive business and economic and societal distribution. Besides credit to mass production and the set-up of the assembly line, Fordism had also corner stoned the management regulation and policy in labor control and managements. Thus, Fordism was an inevitable ideology, which was credited in founding the current economic, industrial, and societal field within its beliefs of mechanical developing technology, management skills, and their connection and relationship with
