Bus – includes metrobuses, commuter buses, trolley buses, and bus rapid transit systems. Commuter Rail – fixed-schedule rail services such as MARC and VRE. Other – demand response, demand taxi, vanpool, and other less common modes of transit.

Yes, it’s easy to get around Halifax by bus. (I don’t own a car.) And the downtown core is quite small so you can walk pretty well everywhere, as long as you don’t mind walking up and down hill! If you’ll be here between July and Oct., there’s even a free bus that does a circuit around the downtown area.

Getting around without a car

1. You can use buses to travel between many of Nova Scotia’s towns and cities.
2. The train can occasionally be useful but services are limited.
3. In Halifax, there are local buses and ferries as well as shuttle services between the capital city and major towns.

8 Benefits of Public Transportation

• Improves Community Health.
• Economic Benefits to the Community.
• Improves Fuel Efficiency.
• Public Transportation Reduces Air Pollution.
• Improves Road Congestion.
• Improves Community Mobility.
• Provides an Equitable Transportation System.
• Public Transportation Improves Commuters Productivity.

Public transport in London

• Buses.
• London Underground: the Tube.
• Docklands Light Railway.
• River bus services.
• Local trains.
• London trams.
• Accessible public transport.
• London cycle hire scheme.

A good transit system is both fast and frequent. One way to achieve this is to beat congestion by creating dedicated bus lanes. Dedicated bus lanes can double, even triple bus speeds and move more than four times as many passengers per hour than regular-lane traffic.

The Top 9 Public Transportation Systems Around the World

• Seoul, South Korea.
• Santiago, Chile.
• Tokyo, Japan.
• Madrid, Spain.
• Shanghai, China.
• Paris, France.
• Taipei, Taiwan.
• Berlin, Germany.

Enter the bicycle. It is the most efficient form of transportation on the planet. You can move five times faster than walking and go three times as far on the same amount of caloric energy.

Besides passenger transport, energy efficiency also needs to be increased in freight transport. Rail freight is particularly energy efficient because of the high load factor; its flexibility is, of course, limited.

10 International Destinations Where Public Transport is a Breeze

1. Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong metro is hailed as one of the best public transport systems in the world.
2. London, UK.
3. Barcelona, Spain.
4. Luxembourg City.
5. Paris, France.

Amazing But True!

• Believe it not, the bicycle is the most efficient transport machine ever invented.
• A bicycle goes 3,000 miles on the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline.
• A person riding a bike can also travel farther on the same amount of energy than any other animal on the planet.

The short answer is: It can’t. Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.

A simple machine, such as a lever, pulley, or gear train, is “ideal” if the power input is equal to the power output of the device, which means there are no losses. In this case, the mechanical efficiency is 100%.

Heat, sound, and mechanical energy are all unwanted byproducts. So if you put in 100 watts of power and get 50 watts of light the system is 100% efficient. There is a principle called “unity efficiency” that can allow you to produce MORE than 100% of the input.
