If you’re a worker, the daily commute is a huge, if not long, part of your day.
This is hardly surprising in a city like New Orleans, where about 134,000 people commute to work every day. Whether you are driving or riding a bus, you can’t help but wish the trip were faster. After all, the sooner you get to the office, the more work you will finish, and the earlier you go home.
When it comes to relieving traffic congestion, the solution may not always be obvious. Case in point: streetcars.
While New Orleans may not be the first city that comes to mind when the word, “streetcar,” is uttered, there are many reasons why civil engineering companies in New Orleans believe streetcars are an ideal option.
Greater Capacity
The city buses ferry thousands of New Orleans residents each day, but a streetcar system can transport more people than buses do. Because the streetcar can be designed as a multi-car train, it allows municipalities to expand passenger capacity as needed by simply adding a car. Consequently, streetcars present a viable alternative in cities where ridership outpaces the capacity of buses. Read more from this blog. http://bit.ly/2id7nVe
