	Socialism Today - Transport policy after Paddington
		Road transport is one area that has seen decades of priority to private profit, but with a twist that reveals an important role of the state under capitalism.
		For most of the post-war period the Department of Transport has concentrated on building roads based on the idea of 'predict and provide', where estimates are made of future car traffic and roads are built to meet the expected need.
		Transport provision for people has been based on aiding car drivers, which are a minority of the population, to the serious disadvantage of the rest of the population, the old, the young, women and the poor.

		Although the proposals submitted by both rail labor and rail management during the discussions of the RSAC Working Group meetings contain elements which FRA believes would increase the safety of railroad operations, both proposals also contain elements that cannot be sustained on either a safety, economic, or legal basis.
		FRA believes, and many representatives of rail labor and management agree, that the current inspection requirements are very good for the most part and are sufficient to ensure a high level of safety, but that they need to be strictly enforced, clarified, and updated to recognize existing and new technology.
		The proposals submitted by both rail labor and rail management representatives as part of the RSAC Working Group deliberations contained provisions for permitting the movement of equipment with defective brakes to be hauled from or past locations where the necessary repairs could be effectuated.

	Rail Transport in The World's Major Cities
		Investment in rail transport is generally 80% publicly funded with the remainder being financed by the private operator.
		Public transport in Berlin is supplied by four operators: the S-Bahn railway, a subsidiary of German Railways (DBAG), linking the city centre and suburbs; the U-Bahn subway network in built-up parts of the city; trams mainly in the former East Berlin; and buses.
		The public transport system is rated quite highly by users, because it covers most parts of the city, transport information services are well integrated, the fare structure is simple, and the trains are clean and not crowded.

		The result has been that other more environmentally- sound forms of transport such as railways are at a serious disadvantage." She contends that aviation fuel is virtually tax-free with airlines paying as little as 17p a litre as compared to the heavily taxed energy costs that the rail industry face today in Europe.
		It could be argued that Government rail subsidies are merely trying to cre-ate a more level playing field for rail industry because the aviation industry has failed, for decades, to pay, the true but, often hidden costs, of plane travel.
		Now there are doubts the rail infrastructure has the capacity to cope with the expected increases in freight traffic, when much of the European heavy haul network is still in the development stage.
