	The Future of Irish Rail.
		The external costs of transport such as pollution and an increased risk of accidents should be added to the cost of varying forms of transport.
		Rail networks are perceived as being inefficient and too expensive considering the time taken for the journey and the quality of the service provided.
		The initial policy employed by the Japanese was to raise fares and reduce the total workforce; the result was a backlash from the public because of the fares and from the unions because of the redundancies.

		The plan was that, by 2010, there was to be an increase in rail passenger use of 50% and an increase in rail freight use of 80%.
		No specific figures were given as targets, nor did the government force companies to transport goods by rail instead of on articulated lorries, nor compel the private train operators to invest and expand their services.
		His advice to relieve rail congestion in the short term was for a rail "congestion charge" that is for fares to be increased to even higher levels than their present exorbitant one to force the less well-off, off them!

	Find info about History of rail transport
		The steam locomotive was invented in the early stages of the industrial revolution, and railroads became essential to the swift movement of goods and labour that was needed for industrialization.
		In the meantime, overland transport not on the railways consisted primarily of horse powered vehicles.
		Placing a horse car on rails enabled a horse to move twice as many people, and so street railways were born.

	LRTA - The Light Rail Transit Association submission
		We do not argue that trams/light rail should not be as safe as they are (indeed this is one of their merits), but we do argue that it is unfair that competitor modes, especially cars, should be allowed to operate to much less demanding safety standards.
		Light rail is, comparatively, discriminated against in other ways, for instance the contribution that utilities have to pay towards renewal of their equipment when this has to be moved to allow for the construction of a light rail or tramway line.
		Cities with modern tramways or light rail at the core of their public transport systems, fully integrated with bus networks which gather and distribute passengers to and from the light rail core are the only realistic options for getting people out of their cars and on to public transport.

		The sole purpose of the Government in promulgating this legislation was to protect the welfare of large segments of the Canadian population from the serious adverse effects of a dispute which the parties had demonstrated themselves incapable of resolving.

		Transport also causes noise, and insensitively designed transport infrastructure is visually intrusive and can have adverse effects on local amenities by physically dividing neighborhoods.
		The environmental effects of transport differ significantly by mode. Road motor vehicles are the dominant source of the emissions that have local and continental effects (such as acid rain formation) and account for more than three-quarters of the transport sector's contribution to global pollution.
		Rail transport is relatively benign environmentally, though direct and indirect coal burning (to generate electricity) and rail-generated noise can have heavy localized impacts.
