    The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) is commonly argued to be the most important transportation route in Canadian history, but most do not know the substantial benefits it provided. More specifically, it provided benefits to farmers, financiers, and consumers.

    During the 1960s, Pakistan was seen as a model of economic development around the world, and there was much praise for its economic progression.

Later, economic mismanagement in general, and fiscally imprudent economic…

    Transportation in Pakistan is extensive and varied but still in its developing stages and serving a population of over 170 million people.. Much of Pakistan's road network (National Highways) and railway network were built before 1947, mainly during the British Raj. In recent years, new national highways have been built, with the addition of motorways which has accelerated trade and logistics within the country. As one of the most rapidly growing cities in the world, Karachi faces challenges that are central to many developing metropolises, including traffic congestion, pollution, poverty and street crime. It has the 9th most dense traffic in the world.…

    the followings stories are based on my experience, there are criticism but all of this are only my opinons. Basically the types of passengers who tends to ride the PNR are as follows: security guards/body guards, senior citizens, just ordinary persons, workers and construction workers, pregnant women, vendors, even if it is a Sunday there are some students, the larger population of passengers are mostly males. There are some positive things about PNR first and foremost the fare is very affordable compare to other modes of transportation next one is that less hasslle you don’t need to ride on another transportation to get to a certain destination, some Employees were polite and courteous, lastly there’s no traffic at all because it is a train. While the Downside of riding the PNR is that the air ventillation, there’s no aircon at all I think it is not working during the ride all of us agreed to open the upper portion of the window because it’s too hot and we are all suffocated, noise pollution such as crying babies, chitchatting passengers/ talking too loud, passengers playing music with their speakers on, and yelling and irretated passengers with each other because some don’t give way when it comes to loading and unloading, conjestion/overcrwoding is the main problem because there are lots of passengers waiting in every stations and it can’t accommodate all of them because the PNR also has it’s own carrying capacity, some station had poor maintenance and poor implementation, also there are no descent ticketing booths unlike to LRT and MRT, I found the motion of the train to be too shaky, at times unsteady, persistent problems with the informal settlers in every station because in every station you will always see their houses which is not a scenic view for me also my blockmate experience that someone throws an object heading to the train maybe it is a stone or what…

    When Pakistan came into being in1947, the only reliable, valuable and comfortable mean of transport was railway. With the passage of time other means of transport also developed. Especially Pakistan developed air transport. In 1960’s firstly buses are introduced in Pakistan as urban transport mean. In this era, main policy of government is to shift railway rush to road transport. So many new roads were constructed and developed in many cities. Many new buses were imported. This system continued for more than 15 years, but after this private sector came and flourished because public transport could not be managed after start, so lack of funds declined public buses too much. In 1977, the Punjab Road Transport Corporation’ (PRTC) and Punjab Urban Transport Corporation (PUTC) were established in the province of Punjab (Lahore Development Authority and World Bank/International Development Association 1980). The functions of the PRTC and PUTC were to provide an efficient, adequate, economical, and properly coordinated system of road-based intercity and urban public transport services, respectively. PUTC was also responsible to provide bus stands; develop amenities; purchase, manufacture, maintain, and repair buses; and provide other related services in urban areas. Later, PUTC developed its own maintenance…

    Accidents and chaos are everywhere and Mumbai with its population of over 20.5 million is no exception to this. The once efficient suburban rail network is the lifeline of Mumbai, however over the past two decades; it is creaking under the weight of passenger influx and lack of investment in upgrading infrastructure. The extraordinary crowding of trains and poor commuter facilities at stations makes the Mumbai train system so prone to accidents that nearly 10 people die in railway mishaps every day - a figure that would have made front page news anywhere else in the world but meets with apathy in India.…

    Transportation has been used since man knew how to walk. As time passed, it grew to not only having one way to travel but a variety of means, from cars to planes, and from highways to railways. A great example of how transportation has grown and adapted through time, can be seen through the Philippine National Railway. “The PNR carries a significant role in the future of our mass transportation system that would, not only carry commuters in Metro Manila but also passengers who would like to travel in the northern and southern parts of Luzon” (PNR, 2013). “The PNR played an important role that shaped our nation to what it is today. It is very rich in history” (PNR, 2013). The PNR could not be what it is today if not for its influential history, from how it began, to its ups and downs, and to what it is today.…

    Air transport has probably never been more important to the development of a new nation than in the case of Pakistan. In June 1946, when Pakistan was still in the offing, Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Founder of the upcoming nation, instructed Mr. M.A. Ispahani, a leading industrialist, to set up a national airline, on a priority basis. With his singular vision and foresight, Mr. Jinnah realized that with the formation of the two wings of Pakistan, separated by 1100 miles, a swift and efficient mode of transport was imperative.…
