Problem
Very well compiled post. I am always in awe of how well people can articulate their thoughts in forum posts. This skill seems to escape me. Coming from a business background I know very well the inter-dependency of properly functioning infrastructure and movement! I believe historically geographic features have defined the transport systems of their day. But with the advancement of transportation modes, this has become less of a defining characteristic; even so in developing countries, where you would assume they would go thru a similar trajectory the US took from its inception. How would you explain transportation seasonal surge periods and account for prices staying the same?
