Suburbs offer conducive places to retire after a long day’s work. However, diffusion of urban cultures or lifestyles into suburbs renders the areas unconducive.

These ancient modes of transport were very slow prompting humans to invent faster means of transport. It is with the advent of the wheel that transport revolutionized into what it has grown to in the modern era. Road networks like the ...

The backbone of any populous city lies in its transportation system. One has to comprehend the fact that the transport system facilitates proper commutation of the people of the city, and it keeps the city on the go by connecting the places. It can be opined that the system of transports in a city is quite like the blood circulation of the human body- something that means that a city would become dysfunctional if the transport system gets thwarted in some way. To gauge the immense importance of transport system, one needs to consider the modes, structures and systems of the ...

The government benefited from the existence of railroad systems as they paid income and property taxes. The federal government funded the construction projects, and benefited from free carriage of government cargoes. The economy developed with the existence of American railroads, as there was no congestion on the public transport systems.

There was no burden for the federal government; hence, there was no stable reason for closure of the railroads system. Government leaders misused the public transport system for their own ...

This paper says that it is possible to end the dependence on cars by making public transportation safe, cheap, clean and reliable. Cities should also have roads for people who ...
