摘要
Cities in Britain, the rest of Europe and especially North America are struggling to accommodate rising levels of private car ownership and usage. The consequences of this are: widespread congestion, personal danger from accidents, noise and air pollution. This article examines some of the trends which have led to that situation, the financial costs involved and the opportunities for improvement which investing in light rail systems might provide.
