¶ … Intercity Train System
History of the train System
The modern intercity train system is dominated by the latest revolutionary rapid transit which is an electric passenger railway with high capacity, frequency and a characteristic separation from the other transport systems of the city. These rapid transit systems are normally located either in underground tunnels or are elevated above the city streets, though once they snail their way out of the city they can run on the ground like any other traffic but way separated from the road.
The first transit system to be developed was the London underground that was opened in 1863; this was quickly replicated in many cities across Europe and the U.S.A. The revolution went on so fast with the largest growth of these systems experienced in Asia with the driverless systems. Currently, there are more than 160 cities with the rapid transit system and 25 cities have their systems coming.
The New York metro system is currently the biggest by length of routes and number of stations with London and Shanghai having the largest length of lines. The busiest stations are the Moscow metro and the Tokyo metro.
Abstract
There being so many metros and even more coming up, the purpose of this paper is to look at the significance that the metros play in the transport system, particularly transport of people from one station to another, and one city to another. The paper will also look into the significance of these rail systems to the countries that have them and why many cities are now craving for at least a metro system. The above will be achieved...
The network covers various cities like Frankfurt, Munich, Dresden, Hamburg and Cologne (Eurail, 2011).
These are just a few of the major towns that the metro system in Germany links up helping people to move and alongside transport their goods as well. The smooth rail network assists in the propagation of the tourism industry in the country that has beautiful forest, mountains and valleys apart from the peculiar architecture that exists within it.
It is estimated that there are 33,000 trains each day servicing the Germans, with 4 million people enjoying the service of these trains each day. They are known for their efficiency in time and the speed is high hence not much time is wasted on the journey. The same efficiency applies for goods that are being exported to the neighboring countries like France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Netherlands.
Russia and the Trans-Siberian Railroad
This has been holding the fame of being the longest continuous rail line on earth stretching to about 10,000 KMs. It is the backbone for transport in the region and without it the Russian transport system would grind to a halt. It is the main transport system that connects the East and West parts of Germany, from Moscow to Vladivostok cities (InterKnowledge Corp. 2006).
The railway serves as the single most…

Al.); (Rahman, 136- 138) (Dasgupta) From the segmentation analysis and mobile content revenues forecast, the need for launching the low-cost and ultra-low cost mobile cellular phone business in India based on value-added services that can be incrementally added to consumers' accounts is preferable to concentrating only on price alone. Creating the unique value proposition for the service based on mobile content also is attractive to potential partners who are necessary for
