locations of living. Urban sprawl is often described as having “a population that is widely dispersed in low density development, rigidly separated homes, a network of roads, and a lack of well-defined activity centres such as downtown” (Blais, 2010, p. 18). As such, urban sprawl made the car the means of transportation and roads the networks of traffic to and from the periphery and the downtown core.

Those bus drivers went to the relevant department to complain about

which means that public transportation can benefit from the more efficient outcomes. This has proven to be the case in London, where the central government’s spending on the railway is mainly payments to franchised train-operating companies and Network Rail, which is a semi-public body. Overall, costs for the railways have been lowered in London “reducing operating costs by about 10 per cent” (White, 2009). Private companies tend to shift the main focus of public transportation from service to
destination zones. More sophisticated techniques allow for the calculation of travel times between specific, non-zonal locations on a transportation network • Traffic congestion is defined as a condition of traffic delay (when the flow of traffic is slowed below reasonable speeds) because the number of vehicles trying to use the road exceeds the traffic network capacity to handle them. • From a traffic point of view, congestion creates travel time delays and results in expenses for commuters and business

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” (Keller) College is definitely a challenge, but it is also a very beautiful thing.

The local transport system is determined by private cars, taxi’s minibuses and supplemented by an insufficient bus system of COW. Road pricing is an acceptable norm in CBD’s; therefore stakeholders have a mammoth task to correct the situation, which was partly created by the colonial regime and poor planning.

*The new bus driver* Monday mornings, I hate them. Dublin is so busy but luckily, I travel in on the bus and I always sit at the front conversing to the bus driver Marty.

Sriram sets out to the army quarters following Jagadish's directions. He catches a bus and reaches his destination. When he is about to cut a portion of the barbed wire fence, panic seizes him. For the first time, he begins to douby his decision. As a result he withdraws himself from the active involvement in the extremists’ campaign. In this regard it is worthwhile to note what Dr. M.K. Naik observes: His lack of genuine faith in the cause of the freedom struggle also makes Sriram a coward and cowardice
Caracas is a very crowded city. There is always a lot of traffic, and sometimes people prefer not going by bus or by car because if you want to get faster to where you want to go, you may need some extra time.

The subway is fast, it is not expensive, it is safe, and it is important to emphasize that it is good for the environment. There should be an underground
