		One other note about nomenclature: intercity rail passenger service is the only mode of transportation that is synonymous with a corporate brand.
		Finally, the Federal Government has had a longer-term involvement in railway labor and management issues, with the result that many provisions are especially applicable to the rail industry – for instance, Railroad Retirement and the Federal Employers’ Liability Act – and may result in higher costs for all railroads.
		At the present time, the Department is listening to the many stakeholders in intercity rail passenger service to identify their concerns, their needs, and their basic principles so that we can develop the outline of a new national intercity rail passenger policy that can have the broadest possible base of support.

	Welcome to Makabusi, Inc.
		While this mode did not have the same reach as the Elevated Steam Car, the Elevated Street Railway did extend the commuting distance for the working population considerably. The famous LOOP in Chicago was successful because in addition to speed and convenience the service was affordable to a mass market.
		The automobile was not the primary commuting mode in America before the introduction of the freeway system. The automobile needed the freeway system to transform urban America. In 1940, 32 million motor vehicles were registered for a national population of 132 million, or one car for every 4 Americans.
		In fact, the inventor is pinning the hopes of the company on the contraction of the city and the banishment of the automobile from the central city.

	review of automated peoplemover transit technologies in Japan
		By combining the advantages of conventional rail and its existing designs with the simplicity of LIM propulsion, Japanese companies are ahead of the rest of the world with implementation of hybrid rail/LIM vehicles for subway, commuter, and intercity applications.
		The entire transportation system in Japan is solidly based on the assumption that both intercity and urban systems can be basically profitable with an understanding that time frame to achieve that goal may be much longer for smaller, less dense populated communities or major urban undertakings such as subways.
		Railway and transit infrastructure is perceived as private property in Japan, contrary to the situation in North America and Europe.
