#A microtubule'roadway'in the retina helps provide energy for vision Fluorescently labeled microtubules extend from the tips of the dendrites (top) into the axon and down into the giant synaptic terminal (bottom) of a single isolated goldfish retinal
Researchers have discovered a thick band of microtubules in certain neurons in the retina that they believe acts as a transport road for mitochondria that help provide energy required for visual processing.
When the researchers administered drugs to inhibit the movement of certain"motor"proteins that transport mitochondria and other cargo within the cell by traveling along microtubules
The findings suggest that these previously unknown microtubule structures provide a"roadway"for the transport of mitochondria crucial to maintain energy supplies into the synaptic terminals of these highly active neurons associated with vision.

Irving advocates an integrated platform that brings together automobiles, public transit, cycling and walking, with incentives to drive behaviour,

Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute think tank expects those and other technologies, like smart parking
and implementing systems with apps that drivers can use to find out about available parking spots nearby and, in some cases,
and sensors to speed up the parking once they get there. In congested downtowns, drivers looking for parking account for up to a third of the automobile traffic.
Commuters in hundreds of cities can use apps to get real-time arrival information for public transit stops,
and data shows a modest increase in riders because of those apps. A City College of New york study of the New york city system found a two per cent increase in bus ridership through 2013
with much of that increase on the most-travelled routes. While Litman says these technologies will produce incremental improvements,"Every city
I know of is doing something to improve their walking, cycling and public transit, "which he says is the long-term solution to traffic congestion.
When it comes to decisions about roads and expressways, those cities have to consider a difficult-to-discern future.

because if we're directing our growth to places people don't have access to by public transit,
we're simply adding more drivers to an already overloaded road system, "Keesmaat says. For her, public transit, not cars, is where technology could have a transformative role.
She notes that increasing vehicle occupancy helps, but, for example, with 69 per cent of the people coming into downtown Toronto taking public transit,"At the end of the day,
the significant changes in urban mobility really have to do with the growing sophistication of public transit."
"The Toronto Transit Commission will be rolling out automatic train control in 2017. Keesmaat says that could produce as much as a 20 per cent capacity increase by allowing trains to operate closely together,
while eventually saving money on salaries through the driverless trains. When he was recently in Istanbul to do a workshop for transit planners,
Litman learned that city is buying a fleet of 400 new buses, all with onboard Wi-fi, USB ports at every seat and bike racks.
He says the incremental costs are tiny for new bus fleets but these features could attract 20 to 40 per cent of people who would otherwise drive.

Seelye explains the unpredictability of the subway according to typical Boston commuter. This problem and the walking distance coupled with that makes it difficult as a reliable transportation for the busy worker with punctual needs.
For example atie Pasciucco, 34, an account manager at a software company, is a typical Boston commuter.
Her door-to-door trip to work is just 4. 5 miles but takes at least 50 maddening minutes.
