  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • Annual Report on the Environment in Japan 2003 Published By: Ministry of the Environment Translated By: Ministry of the Environment Published in January 2004
    � AnnualAnnual ReportReport onon thethe EnvironmentEnvironment inin JapanJapan 20032003 Local Communities Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Society Ministry of the Environment To Our Readers This booklet was compiled based on the Quality of the Environment in Japan 2003 (White Paper), an annual report on the environment by the Government, published in accordance with a Cabinet decision made on May 30, 2003. The content of this booklet was edited to gear to a wider readership. The theme of this year’s White Paper is “Local Communities Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Society.” It introduces that daily voluntary activities carried out in local communities mark the first step in the transition to a sus- tainable society. The White Paper first shows the close interaction of the environment, society and economy, and the seriousness of the deterioration of the global environment. The Paper demonstrates that steady efforts at the individual and community levels will be essential for resolving global environmental problems. Individual actions are explored with an emphasis on the idea that if more individuals pursue environment-conscious activities, their activities will influence other actors, such as the government and businesses, and make it possible to reform the socio-economy as a whole. Initiatives by local communities are also examined. The Paper concludes that transition to a sustainable society is possible by (1) rais- ing the awareness of the whole community and building capacity (local environmental capacity) for the creation of a better environment and a better community, and (2) creating a model for protecting the environment and reinvigorating the community at the same time, and spreading the practice to other communities.

  • Seto Inland Sea Art Tours: Naoshima & Teshima
    Seto Inland Sea Art Tours: Naoshima & Teshima Takamatsu, Naoshima, and Teshima: Day 1 The journey begins in the Bikan Historical Quarter of Kurashiki City. The white walled, black tiled homes are well preserved examples of Japanese architecture dating back to as far as the 17th century. Located along a canal once used for transporting goods, the gently flowing waters reflecting classic facades, wooden boats drifting, and the bent willow trees swaying with the breeze transports one back to streets of late Edo Japan. After a brief step back in time, you will board the Marine Liner bound for Takamatsu City. The Seto Bridge was completed as recently as 1988 and the vastness of the swirling blue waters whisking past truly accentuates the remoteness the region has had for so long. After arriving in Takamatsu City, you will be driven to the sprawling Ritusrin Garden to witness a prime example of classic Japanese architecture. In addition to green ponds teeming with koi fish, swaying pines, and vibrant seasonal flowers, one can also witness the historical marks left by former rulers of Takamatsu. Most notably these include non-native plants gifted by the lord’s of other prefectures, trees planted by nobles, and even an artificial waterfall built for the amusement of a former lord of Takamatsu. During your time at the garden you will be treated to tea in a classically renovated tea house overlooking the park. Here you can enjoy the beauty and serenity in the same manner as those who have maintained and kept this garden alive for the past 400 years.
