	[No title]
		Until the 1980s, transport infrastructure (rights of way, track, terminals and associated traffic management) in developing countries was primarily provided by the public sector, for all modes of transportation (road, rail, air, maritime and inland water) and at all levels (international, national, regional and local, both urban and rural).
		In transport “service” provision (conveyance of passengers and freight), railways were usually a public sector monopoly, while in air and maritime transport national “flag carriers” were also usually in the public sector.
		Bank financing of transport vehicle fleets has been decreasing as the Bank has concentrated on assisting the transfer of enterprises from the public to the private sector (as in the case of buses in Barbados) and in reducing the constraints on private initiative (as in the case of the Mexican trucking industry).

	Association of American Railroads - RailFanClub
		Rail competitors received lavish subsidies, while railroads were expected to pay their own way and operate money-losing services in the public interest, a burden not placed on their competitors.
		Even in this modern era, while all types of transportation service have been in a process of evolution, the railroads have held their place as the single most important freight-carrying transportation mode.
		One measure of the railroads advantage in transportation is their superior economy in the use of natural resources.

	Light Rail Now - Myths Overview
		Rail critics, facing an undeniable increase in light rail projects being built in the US, contend this is merely the result of "federal pork" (i.e., extravagant luxuries of no real value).
		A common claim of rail transit opponents is that urban transit travel is so minuscule as to be irrelevant and therefore a waste of public investment.
		Data for a number of new systems indicate that modern light rail operations have average speeds in the range of 20 mph or faster, faster than local street bus speeds of 12-13 mph, and competitive with the average speeds of automobiles.

	Portland Transport: End in Sight for Fareless Square?
		The really big cost of rail transit is putting in rails where they do not exist (or were torn up in the past), but the bulk of this is now covered by federal funds.

		As regards the projected air services between Dublin and Cork and Dublin and Belfast, experience elsewhere has shown that the use of such internal services is largely governed by considerations arising from fare differentials as between air and surface transport.
		The existence and value of time differentials and frequency of service between the two forms of transport also play an important part in determining the mode of travel most acceptable to travellers' personal requirements.
		Apart from selective factors such as these, experience shows generally that new air services generate a considerable amount of new traffic and that the proportion of traffic diverted from other forms of transport is usually not appreciable.
