...Transportation is use to easier the movement of people, animals, and goods from one location to another location. Nowadays, people use vehicles for transportation which they can easily manage their lifestyle well like, going to work, to school, and so on. Transportation can be divided into two categories which is public and private transportation. Public transportation is available to the general public and people can take it as long as they pay for it. Private transport is mostly owned by individuals. Among these two categories transportation, there are some difference aspect which are expensiveness, comfortableness, and the effect of environment. By comparing the expensiveness among the public and private transportation, the cost that spend in public transportation is among RM 2.00 and RM 30.00 is spend on private transportation. This is because public transport such as bus can hold and transport more passengers compare to private transport such as cars. Another that, buses can transport at less 40 passengers in a same time and the cost can be divided to the consumer to avoid them pay more, while, the car only can transport 5 passengers in a time and needs to spend a lot of money on petrol fee and repair fee. Therefore, public transportation will cheaper than the private transportation. Next, public transport and private transport also have different aspect in comfortableness. In private transport, passenger can relax and listen to the radio according to their wish, but...

...Economic Benefits of Transportation Improvements Shamonica Jordan Arkansas Highway Transportation Essay March 11, 2013 Economic Benefits of Transportation Improvements Today, the development of public transportation is extremely prospective in terms of the community development. The development of public transportation can improve the community environment, its socioeconomic development. Goodyear (2010) states the following public transportation has a great potentially, when the use of cars as the main means of transportation threatens to the environment. With that being stated it provides inefficiency with the potential positive effects of public transformations being underestimated. In this respect, it is possible to dwell upon economic, environmental and social benefits resulting from the development of public transportation. First, public transportation can have a positive impact on the development of the local community because it opens larger opportunities for transportation within the community as well as increases its transit potential. American Public Transportation Association (2013) states the following: opponents of public transportation may argue that public transportation needs substantial investments and, what is more important, it is the community or state funds that will be used to fund the development of public transportation. In this respect, opponents are right in regard to the substantial increase of public expenditures on...

It is propelled by simply standing on the device and pitching your weight forward or backwards. The technology in the base of the Segway utilized motors and sensors to adapt to the angle or pitch the rider commanded and set forth the speed and direction, turning the Segway worked in the same manner by leaning with the handle bars to turn left or right which changed the speed of the wheels to turn in either direction. Segway was considered to be a game changing innovation in the way the regular person would get around, endorsed by big names like “Steve Jobs” from Apple and “Jeff Bezos” from Amazon, Segway seemed to be the new thing with a Blue Ocean approach in personal transportation market . In this critique I will be elaborating on the missteps taken by Segway’s entry to new transportation market facing regulatory transportation barriers, followed by the shortcomings with the quality of the product, and why the Segway failed to appeal to the market, lastly some suggested improvements. Barriers to Entry Segway had a plan to develop and change the way people moved around from point A to point B by creating a device that would be environmentally friendly and economically useful for everyday use.

...2012 International Conference on Traffic and Transportation Engineering (ICTTE 2012) IPCSIT vol. 26 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore Private Vehicle Ownership and Transportation Planning in Malaysia Noresah Mohd Shariff + School of Distance Education Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang Malaysia Abstract. This paper analyzes current trends in private vehicle ownership in Malaysia. For the past decades private vehicle ownership has increased tremendously in this country which is partly due to the economic growth, rapid urban development, population growth and inadequate public transport availability and services. In 2010, Malaysia has a population of 28.3 million, 17.4 million private vehicle automobiles and 11.7 million registered drivers. Traditionally, income has been hypothesized as a major determinant of private vehicle ownership. However, the spatial arrangement of urban fabric has becoming more important determinant of owning a vehicle. Other determinants such as government policy, auto vehicle financing, household characteristics and travel characteristics are also important. Therefore this paper is analyzing the spatial determinants of private vehicle ownership in Malaysia with a special reference to the Penang Island. Penang Island is located on the northeastern region of Malaysia and is an industrialized and a highly developed island. Penang Island has a population of 575,498 in 2000 and 740,200 in 2010, an increase of 29 percent for the last 10 years...

Introduction Transport policy deals with the development of a set of constructs and propositions that are established to achieve particular objectives relating to social, economic and environmental development, and the functioning and performance of the transport system. Policy has to be dynamic and evolutionary. The Relevance of Transport policies arise because of the extreme importance of transport in virtually every aspect of economic, social and political activities of nation states. The Logistics Performance Index ranked Zimbabwe at position 103 out of 155 economies, an indication on how difficult it is to move goods by roads in the country. Transport Sector Environment in Zimbabwe The transport sector environment is made up of public and private institutions and organisations. These are supported by legislation, which is implemented and policed by various institutions and individual operators of motor and non-motor transport. Legislation...

...MEANING-PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION 2. A SYSTEM APPROACH (COMPONENTS) 3. COMPONENTS :- TRANSPORTATION i. MEANING ii. FUNCTIONS iii. MODES – MEANING,FEATURES,ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES * ROAD * RAIL * WATER * AIR PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION MEANING: Physical distribution is the set of activities concerned with efficient movement of finished goods from the end of the production operation to the consumer. Physical distribution takes place within numerous wholesaling and retailing distribution channels, and includes such important decision areas as customer service, inventory control, materials handling, protective packaging, order procession, transportation, warehouse site selection, and warehousing. Physical distribution is part of a larger process called "distribution," which includes wholesale and retail marketing, as well the physical movement of products. Physical distribution activities have recently received increasing attention from business managers, including small business owners. This is due in large part to the fact that these functions often represent almost half of the total marketing costs of a product. In fact, research studies indicate that physical distribution costs nationally amount to approximately 20 percent of the country's total gross national product (GNP). These findings have led many small businesses to expand their cost-cutting efforts beyond their historical focus on production to encompass physical...

The modes of transportation differs from companies to companies threw air, sea, or train there’s always a means of transportation. We will discuss numerous modes of transportation available to companies. How does different modes of transportation affect companies financially? How does it does transportation save companies time, and how does it control the inventory of a company? And is profitable to the consumers? How does it affect the stock market? Most importantly how does the different modes of transportation affect the earth environment and natural resources?

...Even though centuries have passed since the very first bicycle was invented, the popularity of bicycles does not seem to decline with the lapse of time. Not only are they the indispensable means of transportation in most parts of the world, but they also evolved into a recreational sport which plentiful health benefits come along. However, the need for using bicycles for travel in a modern transportation system, especially that of an urban area, has been questioned in recent years with respect to its cost-effectiveness. In this essay, I examine both the benefits and drawbacks of the use of bicycles in public transport and form a brief conclusion based on my stance on this issue. Some advocates argue that cycling can greatly reduce the air pollution in Hong Kong. The air quality in urban areas of Hong Kong is worsening each day due to detrimental emissions and pollutants produced by the heavy traffic volume, which mainly consists of motor vehicles. Hitchcock and Vedrenne (2014) consider bicycles to be promising alternatives for motor vehicles in an effort to improve the air quality of urban areas, since they are low-carbon and human-powered vehicles that produce zero emissions when ridden. Indeed, bicycles are more environmental-friendly than motor vehicles, but its effectiveness in making a difference to the general air quality remains questionable. The findings from the research conducted by Rakowska et al. (2014) imply that reducing the portion of motor vehicles in...

...Public transit in Montana The main goal of this bill is to improve public transportation in Montana. “Considering that the transit systems we know today are more expensive, less convenient, and have greater environmental impacts than driving, this goal is self-defeating. The changes described below could save Montana taxpayers millions of dollars while truly improving transit services for most people.” Urban public transit is often considered the most cost effective and energy efficient means of transportation available, but this perception doesn’t hold true in rural states like Montana. Urban buses use more energy per passenger mile than private vehicles and release more than twice the carbon emissions into the atmosphere than a small truck. The average cost of public transit, meanwhile, is more than 90 cents per passenger mile nationally, with more than 75% of that cost subsidized by non-transit users. The average cost of public transit in Montana, meanwhile, is about $1.76 per passenger mile, with more than 90% of the cost subsidized by non-transit users. Smaller vehicles can save energy and nimbly serve more parts of each urban area. Private carriers can operate at capacity and have routes on demand rather than scheduled. Instead of funding expensive transit agencies to serve only a few people, state and local governments could give transportation vouchers to people unable to drive. Also known as shared taxis, jitneys are a combination of taxis and buses. Opening...
