Detailed explanation-1: -Just think of automated vehicles, car and bike-sharing services, ride-sharing, ride-hailing, and the micro-mobility sector. These mobility solutions play a key role in urban resilience. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, shared bikes and scooters offered socially distanced options to travel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inventions such as car couplers, air brakes, and Pullman passenger cars allowed the volume of both freight and people to increase steadily. From 1877 to 1890, both the amount of goods and the number of passengers traveling the rails tripled.
Detailed explanation-3: -The invention of the railroad and the steam powered locomotive opened up a whole new world in transportation. Now trains could travel wherever tracks could be built. Transportation was no longer limited to rivers and canals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The locomotive revolutionized commercial transportation with a durable, faster, cheaper way to move goods. The Governor Stanford was the first train on the Central Pacific, the first transcontinental line in 1869 when joined with the Union Pacific.
