While Mississauga does possess major flaws within its transportation system, a myriad of solutions exist that would correct these issues. To begin with, our city should try and introduce more diverse and organized transportation systems into the community. These include Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. With the addition of these modes of transport, people will be able to get around the city productively and without having to use cars to travel. In fact, an LRT service is planned to be installed along Hurontario St., and BRT stations are planned to be built along Highway 403 for efficient transportation. Moreover, public bike racks could be built within neighborhoods and town centers. These would function similar …show more content…
Mississauga and its neighboring cities are often crowded with people trying to commute to work, mostly by car, which increases the amount of time it takes to get to places. If trains and subways were to be built, people would be able to travel long distances without having to use a car, thereby increasing the efficiency of transportation. Furthermore, the city of Mississauga could also increase the amount of buses that drive throughout the city. As of now, the amount of buses driving under the MiWay system is extremely low in proportion to the growing population. By increasing the amount of fleet, it increases the amount of people able to ride at a time; thus making transportation by public busing more efficient. Additionally, roundabouts could be placed around the city to control traffic flow in a much better way. Roundabouts are more commonly known as traffic circles, in which vehicles all move around a central point instead of moving in straight lanes. With more traffic circles, vehicles are able to move around more efficiently and decrease the amount of gridlock when needing to go to a destination, as they control traffic much more
During 2014 there was an ethical dilemma that occurred at Canadian Tire. There was an employee named Samantha and she held the position of a Supervisor at Canadian Tire. Canadian Tire would give out Canadian Tire money to their clients depending on how much they have spent at the store and this was basically a marketing strategy for Canadian Tire whereby the clients could use the Canadian Tire money to purchase merchandise at the store. Samantha was in charge for restocking the Canadian Tire money at all times. Every time Samantha restocked the Canadian Tire money she would always withdraw few dollars out for herself and make adjustments on the paperwork and she would go to the Canadian Tire Gas station and purchase gas for herself. She went
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is not the best method of transportation in the city of Toronto, because it’s unreliable, inconvenient, and unsanitary. First of all, the TTC is unreliable because of many delays. The TTC buses often come late and there are many subway breakdowns and signal problems. These problems can cause longer wait times and result in the rider being late. Additionally, the TTC is inconvenient because it is difficult for the rider to get to his or her destination without a few transfers. In addition, there are very few direct routes and limited area coverage. For example, there are some areas where passengers have to walk long distances just to get to the bus stop. These problems can result in many transfers and cause

Canada became an emerging country after the Second World War. There was a need for Canada to identify themselves as a distinct nation from Britain and the United States. The Trans Canada Highway became a visible nationalistic figure that set apart Canada from other countries. The Trans Canada Highway was a significant structure built in 1949 through 1961 that emerged as a result of a newfound unity and nationalistic view in Canada. Although there were many different political, personal and economical standpoints on the building of the highway, the finalization of the construction of the highway brought a unique unity that could be appreciated by all Canadians.
Edward Keenan discusses in his article, “What do Torontonians really want their city to be?”, that the people and the politicians of Toronto want to have a great city, but they do not have the funding or the budgeting in place to make the plans transpire. Mr. Keenan quoted Toronto’s city manager, Peter Wallace as saying, “areas of really big failure”, in spite of the successes that have been seen in the city. In Mr. Keenan’s words, this is in relation to the “congestion and transit, housing, and child poverty” issues. In the article Mr. Keenan describes how Peter Wallace showed slides of the steady decline of revenue and told how the politicians kept voting to decrease it. Mr. Wallace went on to say that the government has really great
Is the Loop Bus as beneficial to students as it should be? The SGA Loop Bus is a service provided to Duquesne University students by the Student Government Association. It is a three fleet bus system that provides transportation from Duquesne University to Southside, Oakland, and Waterfront that is operated on Friday and Saturday during the academic school year. It is the subject of one of the major gripes with Duquesne University and is not quite what it is cracked up to be. There are many consequences due to the inconsistencies of the Loop Bus making it not only irritable to wait for but places you in danger.
First, Brampton has the highest car insurance rate in Ontario. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, high insurance rates mean higher accident liability. Our level of crime has continuously increased in the past 3 years, giving us an extremely high crime rate. Starting from the 90’s, the number of people who use or deal drugs have increased rapidly as well as continuously. Notwithstanding the forests as well as other unpatrolled areas, Brampton already has a shortage of police patrol the area. All of our mayors have never acted accordingly to the situation, therefore leaving it the way it is. With less police there are more criminals moving here since they think it’s safer moreover.
The most noticeable inconvenience of driving in Miami is traffic congestion. In fact, because the highways are cluttered with a significant amount of vehicles carpooling is encouraged. For this purpose, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes were formed. Each weekday, a simple twenty-minute drive turns into an eternal wait for forward progress. With each minute that goes by cars advance less than twenty feet. And while the traffic may open up in some areas, in its entirety I-95 remains congested during the morning and evening hours, as seen in the image where cars on the South Florida Highways line up bumper-to-bumper. The cause for such highway clutter varies, but it is interesting to note the difficulty in explaining highway driving conditions. It is uncertain as to whether the accidents cause traffic congestion or the traffic congestion causes accidents. Either way, the main roads and highways commuters take to work are crowded with drivers. Furthermore, I-95 passes through several commercial districts in the lower Miami area. Many large trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as passenger vehicles, drive to work at these commercial areas. The weekday traffic congestions on the Miami roadways are, in large part, a major inconvenience to commuters, all with intent to arrive early to work.
Uber needs to focus its entry into densely populated areas of Canada lacking a well developed public transit system. These opportunities can easily be taken advantage of if Uber was to further develop its existing strengths.
For people to move around the city I’ve come up with several ideas. Electric cars would create less pollution than gas cars so those would highly be encouraged. More encouraged than that would be bikes, walking, and a city trolley system. Certain streets would be blocked off from cars, allowing only city trolleys and bikes through. Also, some streets would be narrower and bike paths would be mandatory along any new street tha...
It needs to improve its areas of “walkability” and encourage health and environmental factors by adding bike lanes to the heavily biked Church Street. Its roads are not overburdened and its public transit systems are frequent, and highly accessible. One factor to be drawn from this conclusion is that Church and Wellesley’s overall transportation success is not indicative of the GTA as a whole. In fact, its success is the result of government policies that have abetted a focus on highly trafficked, highly populated, highly profitable areas such as the Downtown Core (Keil, Roger, Young, 2008). In the article, Urban Form and Travel Behavior as Tools to Assess Sustainable Transportation in the Greater Toronto Area, the authors conclude that the GTA is headed in a negative direction, and that the goal of sustainable transportation will not be met or improved in the future under the current policies and trends. Overall, the symptoms of Church and Wellesley, although beneficial to the BIA locals, could be seen as a symptom of an greater problem with the city’s transit system that needs to be addressed through political, bureaucratic, and organizational reform ((Zaidan, Esmat, Abdelgadir, Abulibdeh,
Most of cities that people live are sequentially growing, daily routine of many people are also adapted for surrounding in the present. A lot of people have to spend most of their time with travelling though long distances to get from one place to another for connecting their businesses or other purposes by transportation. Most people use public transportation such as BTS and MRT to go each places while many people are using their own cars to travel. Thereby, both transportations have the same destination that is taking and moving people. People can choose vehicles from alter reasons depend on how people are responded to their needs by public transportation and private car that are different in convenience of travelling, expenditure of money and security of travel.
Tram system was extended from the Melbourne central to all direction (City of Melbouren, 2015 & figure 3). Compare to Mernda, it is easier for people to get around. Moreover, Each tram station well connected with completed facilities, such as lighting, shelter for sitting or waiting and adequate information. Furthermore, extensive train and buses are also offering a comprehensive and connected public transport system (City of Melbouren, 2015). Transport connectivity in Melbourne tends to increase the willingness to pay for public transport rather than car (McDougall & Maharaj, 2011). According to Australian Bureau of Statistics (2011), the usage of public transport in Melbouren is much more higher than that in Mernda (Chart 1). It mainly because of public transport in Mernda runs slower than car and infrequently, and also is inconvenient to use. However, car dependency in Melbourne was reduced by the public transport, which made the trip become shorter and quicker ( McDougall & Maharaj,
There are various solutions to mitigate the traffic congestion in Saudi Arabia’s capital city. I believe that the provision of public transit will be very effective to the reduction of the number of cars inside the city. For instance, a metro system is a marvelous idea to organize Riyadh’s traffic. Khurais, airport, King Fahad, King Abdullah, eastern ring, southern ring and
