	barcelona metropolitan transport
		The organisational model of public transport is based on the identification of three large sections or levels, whose basic characteristics correspond to elements and functions laid down in the ISOTOPE project of the European Union, which examines the regulatory framework for public transport in large cities.
		The participation of public transport in the corridor/axes varies greatly according to the capacity of the infrastructures and the demographic importance of the capital of the axis.
		In this period the urban transport of the eighteen municipalities of the MTE was metropolitanised, as were the municipal companies Transports de Barcelona, S.A. and Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, S.A. The third period began with the creation of the MTA as a consortium of the Generalitat, Barcelona City Council and the MTE.

	Electric Traction
		In England a patent was granted in 1840 for the use of rails as conductors of electric current, and similar American patents were issued to Lilley and Colten in 1847.
		All that is needed to cause the car to move along the running rails is to supply current through an overhead wire or third "conductor rail." This wire or rail will serve as a "return" for the electric current to the dynamo in the power station.
		This conductor rail was set one inch below the level of the running rails, and wooden ramps were provided at points and crossings to carry the collectors over the rails, thus avoiding a short-circuit.

	Online TDM Encyclopedia - Sustainable Transportation and TDM
		Because transportation activities have so many impacts related to sustainability, it is important to identify strategies that help achieve multiple objectives, and avoid those that solve one transportation problem but exacerbate others (Comprehensive Planning).
		Sustainable transportation therefore requires that broad equity analysis be incorporating explicitly in transportation planning (Evaluating TDM Equity).
		Sustainable transportation planning tends to be particularly important in lower-income, Developing Regions, since they have more limited resources, tend to rely more on alternative travel modes, and are currently making critical planning decisions which will determine the type of transportation system they will have in the future.

	Sugar Cane Transport
		Efficient transport of chopped cane is essential to avoid losses of sugar content after harvesting and to maintain a uniform flow of cane through the mills.
		The solution to the problem of transporting sugar cane to central mills emerged with the development of light rail technology by the French farmer and engineer, Paul Decauville, and the English firm John Fowler and Company.
		Small petrol-engined rail tractors were employed for light duties from the early 1920s and, after 1925, petrol-powered locomotives by Fowler and Hudswell Clarke appeared on mainline operations.

	Clulow: Multimodal Transport in South Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Contractual multimodal transport takes place when a single person assumes responsibility for the goods throughout the entire carriage from A to B regardless of whether he is physically involved in the carriage of the goods.
		The legal problems caused by contractual multimodal transport include whether a multimodal transport document is a document of title, whether the mandatory carriage regimes apply and how can the different mandatory carriage regimes be reconciled in the case of a multimodal transport operation.
		The difference from the pure network system, is that if the damage occurs during a mode of transport which is not subject to a mandatory carriage regime, or if one cannot establish during which mode of transport the damage occurred, then the liability will be governed by the provisions of the multimodal contract itself.

		One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here).
		Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail.
		In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
