	Kenyaweb:: Transport
		Since the wake of the liberalisation of transportation industry, Kenya has experienced a rapid growth rate in the transport industry which has proved to be not only essential to the domestic economy but also significant as a primary network which serves the landlocked countries in Eastern Africa.
		The transportation sector is divided into three with buses and minibuses being the largest and most popularly used mode of transport, making up the road transport, closely followed by water transport which is mainly concentrated in the coastal area and at lake regions.
		Pipeline transport is one of the less known transport modes and this because it’s performance is hidden from view.

	Rail Transport in Rural France
		Transport for occasional trips organized on request, generally with a tourism objective, continues to grow, whereas transport of company personnel has tended to decrease.
		The non-urban road transport involving regular links and services on demand is organized by the Department Council, except for links of regional or national interest and urban transport covered by the competent urban authorities.
		The commuting transport has seen considerable development at increasingly further distances around the periphery of urban centres.This periphery can be serviced by railway axes that must then be thought of in terms of daily links toward employment poles, implying more stops in these major suburban areas and increased frequency at peak times.

	5. A hundred million journeys a day: The management of transport in Latin America's mega-cities
		Improving the transport system formed an important component of this process of urban development; better transport was needed to move the rapidly increasing numbers of people about the city.
		Responsibility for regulating transport in the region is divided between the main actor, the municipality of São Paulo, the other municipalities in the metropolitan area, and the largely independent public companies which run the railway, underground, and trolley systems.
		Adequate transport solutions have hardly been facilitated by the changing political organization of the city, which became a city-state (Guanabara) when the federal government was moved to Brasilia in 1956 and lost its independence when it was merged with the neighbouring State of Rio de Janeiro in 1975.

		Because of the enormous increase in the movement of freight by rail during the war, a Transport Controller was appointed within the department to coordinate this vitally important sector of the transportation system.
		The radio division of the Department of Transport was also deeply involved in the war effort, developing and providing the radio aids to navigation needed to support air and marine transport, including the famous Atlantic Ferry Command that supplied desperately needed planes for Europe.
		The department turned its attention to upgrading facilities and equipment and to building a modern national transportation system on the greatly improved air, rail and marine infrastructure that was the legacy of the war.

		These words actually were written almost 60 years ago to describe the difficulties encountered by management and staff of the new Department of Transport during its first year of operation.
		With the indomitable C.D. Howe at the helm, however, the job was done and, in 1936, the long-established departments of Marine, Railways and Canals, along with the civil aviation branch of the Department of National Defence, were brought together under one federal government roof to form the Department of Transport.
		By August 1937, the Department of Transport had 6,543 employees on its roster, with an average monthly salary of about $85.

	Bridges and Tunnels in New York and New Jersey in the United States
		New Jersey Department of Transportation: Traveling by Bicycle in New Jersey, Crossing the Hudson River to New York City: "No walkway; special arrangements for access by groups can be made in advance by calling 718-390-2524." (Verify this information with the Port Authority.) The Goethals Bridge with its closed sidewalk is 13 km away.
		As the East River Bridges set forth in Â§4-07(i) of the New York City Department of Transportation are free of tolls with excessive traffic during peak hours, the Bridge Tolls Advocacy Project and others propose tolling these bridges.
		Steve ANDERSON says that sidewalks measuring 4 1/2 feet (1.4 m) wide were once proposed before building the Holland Tunnel, and a bridge needing a clearance of at least 200 feet (60 m) was rejected partially due to the need of long approaches in New York.

	Rail transport modelling -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		If the railway companies of the past could have implemented a ‘Star Trek’ method of transporting passengers and goods instantly from A to B they would quickly have abandoned the use of trains, which was always an expensive method of transport.
		They would never have used more locomotives or coaches than was essential to maintain their traffic, and certainly they would never have built and maintained ‘interesting’ and complex track formations, which were notoriously expensive, without first making every effort to simplify them.
		This scale is also popular in North America to depict 3 foot narrow gauge prototypes (using dedicated 14.28 mm gauge track and known as "Sn3"), and elsewhere to depict the 3 foot 6 inches narrow gauge railways (using HO 16.5 mm gauge track and known as "Sn3½") of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

	London - Transport guide
		In 1946 Heathrow, now the world's busiest international airport, was a tented village in post-war, austerity-ridden England, with around 9000 flights a year.
		Travelling to or from London by rail is invariably enlivened by using one of the well-established main-line stations that are part of the country's heritage.
		Although driving in London is something of an exhilarating experience, the car remains the best mode of transport to use if you want to leave the capital and seek out the provincial treasures of England.

		Of the surplus capital goods accumulated by Europe a substantial part was exported abroad, where its investment made possible the development of the new resources of food, materials, and transport, and at the same time enabled the Old World to stake out a claim in the natural wealth and virgin potentialities of the New.
		A great part of the continent was sick and dying; its population was greatly in excess of the numbers for which a livelihood was available; its organisation was destroyed, its transport system ruptured, and its food supplies terribly impaired.
		By loss of territory and other measures her population was to be curtailed; but chiefly the economic system, upon which she depended for her new strength, the vast fabric built upon iron, coal, and transport, must be destroyed.
