  • Abstract
    The role that high-speed rail rapid transit can play in alleviating city traffic congestion is discussed. For instance, multiple-unit train facilities can be provided in the center mall of expressway constructions at a fraction of the expense involved in building the additional highways to handle the equivalent number of people in automobiles.
