The purpose of this paper is to encourage you to write(or call) your political representatives and express support for Amtrak and for a re-invigorated national passenger rail transportation system in the United States. The advantages of passenger rail transportation are too great for our society as a whole, and for each individual, for us to not advocate for the support that is needed. 2, record 1, English, - passenger%20rail%20transportation

A highly efficient urban-transportation system proposed by Nobel laureate Arno Penzias at Bell Laboratories, that would dispense with buses, subways and private cars. In his vision a fleet or passenger vans, each equipped with a global-positioning system and cellular phone(plus whatever amenities its operator chose to offer)-all linked by computer to a central dispatching program, would provide total customized coverage of every street and every neighborhood in town, 24 hours a day. Through the computer and the cell phones, drivers would receive destination instructions; using GPS, dispatchers would keep tabs on the real-time progress of each vehicle. Passengers would call up the service, be met with minimum delay transfer only if necessary and relax while professional drivers took them to their desired destination. 1, record 2, English, - passenger%20vans%20fleet
