"we are shaped and fashioned by what we love": Only the beat of the train I'm on

Nothing at all, in my head, to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

Train Song Lyrics

The world’s population is increasing at a rapid pace that is triggering congestion and overcrowding. By 2030, 60% of all people will live in cities. Cities populations are growing so hastily the infrastructures cannot adapt. Public transportation is one solution countless advocates have been promoting in recent years. As we outgrow our cities new forms of transportation will be essential. Why not advance the resources our cities possess? If we can progress our assets we will create beyond a local solution and generate jobs in our cities. Public transportation isn’t an ancient proposal. The opening of London’s underground in 1863 changed the way the world travels. It was the first subway system in the world. Since then almost every key city has an underground subway. They are a vital part of public transportation and architecture plays a major role for the atmosphere of the space.

Below are a few of my favorites!
