Public transport

Railroad crossings are all over America, in small towns, big cities and being smart and aware when around railroad crossings is the most important thing to remaining safe. Trains are large, heavy and can’t steer, they must follow the track they are on and in an emergency, the only thing a conductor can do is apply the brakes and wait for the train to stop. It can take up to a mile or more for a train to come to a complete stop. Trains ALWAYS have the right of way. In any situation no matter…

There was a time when I use to live in my home town up north, when my friend and I were catching the train to go shopping. We were sitting at the train station waiting for the train to arrive, when we saw a man to the left of us making unusual movements while he waited for the train as well. The man was dressed in long khaki colored pants leather shoes and a long sleeve button up shirt. It was the summer time then and that day it was 109 degrees exactly. The man also had a very long, long…

Public transportation directly drives this high-density land development, and effectively reduces the distance people need to travel…

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is an open transport framework like a tramway, however working chiefly along restrictive privileges of-path, with less regular stops, higher limit and higher normal paces than nearby transport administrations. Middle arrangement (focal point of the street) is proposed all through most LRT courses. Middle arrangement with side stage stops is the least complex and speediest answer for LRT operations, as it: • Lessens connection with cyclists and people on foot. • Takes…

Dear City Council Member Mark Squilla, I’m writing to you today because of my concern about the way SEPTA runs. Many philadelphia citizens take public transportation daily. We trust that the system will get us to our destination. I have seen that recently over a couple of years that people feel angered by SEPTA. I think the anger comes from the delays, the detours, the wait time and the physical condition of the buses and trains. The buses are old and do not run very fast at times. The…

Nowadays, most of the developing countries aim to improve their public transportation services so as to reduce traffic congestion and face the increased private cars ownership.

A number of cities use road lanes that are fully dedicated to…
