ADVANTAGES OF
TRAIN
Less smog
pollution can be
reduced so it can save
global environment
much more nature-
friendly compared to
cars and motorcycles on
road
reduce the release a lot
on monoxide smoke
Urban Sprawl
associated with more
driving and less public
transit used
existing literature provides
little guidance for policy
makers on how to reverse
sprawl
reduce vehicle emissions.
a vibrant urban core may
plausibly affect land use
and transportation
patterns.
Walkability
helps to increase walkability
a measure of how friendly an
area is to walking
has health, environmental,
and economic benefits
include the presence or
absence and quality of
footpath, sidewalks or other
pedestrian rights-of-
way traffic and road
conditions, land use patterns,
building accessibility, and
safety, among others.
Save time
promotes more efficient use of
time
helps to increase ones
productivity
one can just ride the high
speed train and arrived at no
time
can save time as driving a car
will take more time ,the high
traffic jammed during peak
hour/day
free up a larger block of time
later
Civilisation of
Old Train
Wagonways (or tramways)
are thought to have
developed in Germany in
the 1550s
to facilitate the transport
of ore tubs to and from
mines, using primitive
wooden rails
Such an operation was
illustrated in 1556
by Georgius Agricola

used "Hund" carts with unflanged

wheels running on wooden planks
and a vertical pin on the truck
fitting into the gap between the
planks, to keep it going the right
way.

used by German miners

at Caldbeck, Cumbria, England,
perhaps from the 1560s.
Civilisation of New Train
Englishman Richard
Trevithick launched the first
practical steam locomotive in
1804
several high-speed rail lines
are regularly travelling 30
times as fast
Japans first Shinkansen or
bullet trains, opened to
coincide with the 1964 Tokyo
Olympics
Civilisation of New Train
In 40 years the top speed of
these trains has been
steadily climbing, with a
current world speed record
of 361 mph
France, China and Germany
all operate trains capable of
similar extreme speeds
United States to construct a
high-speed rail line
connecting the California
cities of San Francisco and
Anaheim.
