Snaking through the underground tunnels of Manhattan, running express through the busy life of the Manhattan bridge into the light of the past in Brooklyn via the Brighton Beach service line, the Q subway line goes through the exuberant life of various different neighborhoods. Many of these neighborhoods provide a picturesque experience of the diversity in New York City. Many of those neighborhoods include: Upper East Side, Midtown Manhattan, Union Square, SoHo, Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush, Ditmas Park, Sheepshead Bay, Fiske Terrace, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and etc. Passing through each station shows changing demographics, the preserved and overlooked history, and colorful communities through each passing stop.…

As we explore the historic lifeline of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. We will briefly discuss the timeline and the history of the oldest transit system and its progression into its current state of today; we will assess the possibilities of the future of the organization, we’ll examine the negative performance of the organization and the impact of its failures and conclude with recommendations for improvements.…
The UK government set up High Speed 2 (HS2) Ltd in January 2009 to consider the case for new high speed rail line between London and Scotland capable of carrying passenger trains at speeds up to 250 miles per hour. The broad plan for the network to Manchester and Leeds including the section between London and the West Midlands is roughly the shape of a letter Y. The “Service specification assumptions for the Y network” shows a total of 18 trains per hour (tph). The government and its consultants, HS2 Ltd argued that HS2 rail network would ‘transform the country’s economy geographically’, bringing Britain’s major cities closer together.…

For many years, efforts to create effective regional transit in Metropolitan Detroit has been interfered by a variety of factors. In my research study I will be researching a program called M-1 Rail Streetcar, a public-private partnership is building the region’s first new rail transit, a 3.3 mile electric streetcar along Woodward Avenue through downtown and midtown Detroit. Which this service will offer the more fascination, dependable transit to residents, workers, and visitors to the downtown and midtown areas.…

Along with the addition of East Village, new roads were added and some old roads have been removed. Now, not only 8th Street can take us from the highway back to LaSalle. 4th street also goes all the way through campus. It is also the road that goes in front of the library, making it easier to access the library both during and after normal work hours. The road that used to be in front of the SLC and went from Bagby to 4th street is practically gone. Now it is a driveway to the SLC for all essential purposes. But in taking out this road, it took away from traffic being backed up on Bagby because people are no longer trying to get in and out of the Russell Gym parking lot from two different streets. There is also a new street that…
Although this is a major community project, PSTC should be approximately 60% through the design phase and have a better understanding of where the rails will be placed and how much it will cost. Sound Transit has abused the planning process to promote this Light Rail system. They biased key studies by masking key information issued to the public and promoting a robust rail alternative against a deliberately hobbling transit bus system. Harkness indicates if Sound Transit utilized the Light Rail funds to improve arterials, HOV programs (car and van pool) and bus enhancements, then our transportation problems would have been progressing by now. Or if the number of people car or van pooling to work could be increased by five percent using employer incentives, it would take the same number of cars off the road as would the 21mile Light Rail system (Harkness, 2005). Analyzing available options are crucial to any project, but very ineffective if never applied or applied differently than originally…

All over the world, underground subway systems are relied on by millions of commuters to get to where they need to be on a daily basis. Large cities are defined by their public transit system and in many cities they are the “go to” method of transportation through the city. In New York City (NYC), the fastest way to commute is by underground subway and the NYC subway transports about 7.5 million people every day. There are many benefits from having a very good and current subway system in a growing city and a city that needs to make changes is Toronto. Toronto needs to expand the underground Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway in order to ensure pubic transit is a viable option for individuals in the future by making it will make the daily commute easier and faster, reduce pollution and provide a more cost effective method of transportation. The current Toronto subway system needs to make a commitment to expand its lines north, east and west so that the citizens can be encouraged to choose the TTC giving them an easier, faster and more reliable method for their daily travels. Toronto is one of two cities in Canada that currently has a subway system and studies have shown that it is the most accessible way of transportation within the city. Each day an average of about 2.7 million people rely on the TTC to get to work, school and their every day destinations. Expanding the existing subway lines will create a less confined and congested system by offering more choice to citizens of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Toronto’s down town core is a very busy place and is considered the financial hub of Canada. Each day many business workers fly in and out of Pearson International Airport and make their way to the financial district, typically by taxi or car rental. Having a subway line from the Pearson Airport into the city will provide a significant enhancement to the TTC for both visitors and the citizens of Toronto and…
