The document provides a history of railways and motorcoach transportation in the Philippines. It discusses how railways were first introduced during the Spanish regime in 1875 but did not become fully established until the 1880s. The rail lines connected key areas in Manila but declined with the rise of private car ownership and bus services. The rail system was destroyed during World War 2 but restoration efforts began in the 1970s with the construction of the country's first light rail lines. Today the Philippines has commuter rail services and light rail/metro lines serving major cities, while bus transportation serves as the primary mode of long-distance travel throughout the country, provided by major private bus companies.
Intermodal transport hub – an international case study
Denver Union Station is the main railway station and central transportation hub in Denver, Colorado. It is located at 17th and Wynkoop Streets in the present-day LoDo district and includes the historic terminal building, a train shed, a 22-gate underground bus facility, and light rail station.
In 2012, the station underwent a major renovation transforming it into the centerpiece of a new transit-oriented mixed-use development built on the site's former railyards.
The station house re-opened in the summer of 2014 as a combination of the 112-room Crawford Hotel, several restaurants and retails and a dining hall.
The first public buses in London were horse-drawn and were introduced in 1829, when George Shillibeer introduced a 13-seater horse-drawn single-decker service between Marylebone and The Bank of England.

The first public buses in London were horse-drawn and were introduced in 1829, when George Shillibeer introduced a 13-seater horse-drawn single-decker service between Marylebone and The Bank of England. They cost a shilling and the bus travelled at a steady rate of 12kms per hour. The operation was a great success and rival operators quickly set up similar businesses in competition.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

2. THE ROLE OF THE RAILWAYS IN TOURISM
Given the length of time that railways have been a part of
the public transport system, it may be though surprising
that they have been so slow to take advantage of the
growth of mass market tourism that followed World War ll
(1939-1945). It is all the more surprising when one
considers the important role played by the railways in
their 100 years of existence up to that point, at a time
when rail transport was the principal means by which
people took their own countries. Rail transport's decline in
popularity paralleled the rise in ownership of private cars.
3. RAIL WAYS IN THE PHILIPPINES
A. SPANISH REGIME
HORES DRAWN STREETCARS
On June 26, 1875, under a royal decent issued by king Alfonso
Xll of spain, the required inspector of public works of the
Philippines Island was requested to submit a railway system
plan for Luzon.
4. But it was not until 1878. Wherein the Manila Street started.
When Leon Monsour, the official of the Department of public
works of Spain, submitted a proposal to Madrid. inspired by the
same system in New York and Paris, the proposal envisioned a
five- line network with a central station outside the walls of
intramuros. From Plaza San Gabriel in Binondo, the lines were to
run to intramuros via the puerte de Espania ( Present day Jones
Bridge), to Malate Church, Malacañang Palace, and sampaloc
and Tondo. Though favored by the Spanish Government the
project has to wait for about investor.
5. La Compaña de Tranvias de Filipinas, which operated
the concession awarded by the government in 1882
was formed together by Jocobo Zobel de Zangroniz, an
entrepreneur, Luciano M. Brenon, a Spanish engineer
and a Madrid Banner Adolfo Bayo. However, the
Malacañang line was not built but was indeed instead
replaced by the Malabon Commuter Line.
7. STEAM POWERED TRAINS
By 1902, two steam railroads were in operation in the Philippines,
both in the island of Luzon. One of these is operated by the Compaña
de las Tranvias de Filipinas that runs from Tondo. Manila to town, of
Tambobong, or Malabon, in the province of Rizal, at a distance of 7
kilometers. This steam line replaced the supposed tranvia line that
was supposed to connect Intramuros to the Malacañang Palace.
The Manila- Tambobong track was confirned exclusively to passenger
traffic. The other steam line runs from Manila to Dagupan ( Ferrocaril
de Manila-Dagupan), in the province of Pangasinan and is operated
by the Manila and Dagupan Railway Company, Limited or the Manila
Railroad company, now Philippine National Railways.
9. B. AMERICAN REGIME
The train station serve as military bases and the
railway as battle grounds during the Philippine -
American War in the 1900s. The Manila-Dagupan
line was the axis of the war that advanced in
Luzon.
10. ELECTRICITY-POWERED TRANVIA
In March 24, 1903, a 50- year franchise was awarded to
the Manila Electric Railway and Light Company, a New
Jersey Company ( now more commonly known as
Meralco), to overtake the hall railway system running
around Manila-taking over the properties of La Compaña
de las Tranvia de Filipinas.
11. Meralco's lines crossed the Manila Railroad Company's lines ( now
Philippine National Railway or PNR) at three points: Blumentritt
Station, Sta. Mesa, Sta. Ana Tranvia PNR paco Station. The principal
tranvia lines( Santa Cruz, Santa Mesa and Santa Ana) led directly to
outlying cockpits in suburban La Loma, San Juan and San Pedro De
Macati, respectively. By 1930, the road networks improved, together
with the development of gasoline powered bus services. Meralco
continued the tranvia system but already stopped its expansion. Just
like in other cities in many countries, the emergnce of automobile to
the decline of railways.
12. C. JAPANESE REGIME
In the Battle of Manila in 1945, the system was totally destroyed.
D. THE PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC
During the rebuilt of the city, necessity and resourcefulness did not
call for the tranvias and railways, which were put out of business.
Meralco concentrated on providing electricity to the city. Further
deterioration in railway tracks and stations led to these
circumstances. Advancement in motorization also played a major
role in the limited used of railways. The lots of army jeeps that were
available after the war was used in replace of the horse-drawn street
cars to serve as public transportation system in the large sections of
the Metropolis.
13. MOVES FOR RESTORATION
Following the new belief that the growing metropolitan
area can only be sustained by rail, at par with other
advance cities, and that urban transit is the business
of the government, the government started on
pursuing the rail transit system under the governance
Imelda Marcos who was the Governor of Metro
Manila at the time.
14. RESTORATION OF RAILWAY SYSTEM
It was in 1979, when the decision to build the LRT Line
1, a 15-kilometer fully-elevated railway line, was actually
realized and pushed through, since the public transport
was already still barely meets the commuter demands.
So in 1981, the LRT 1 line started its construction.
After 40 years, the tranvia came back as a Metrorail
system now controlled by the Light Rail Transit Authority.
The line intersects with PNR near Blumentritt
15. SERVICES
COMMUTER RAIL
The Philippines Currently has two operational lines: the PNR Metro
Commuter Line, and the PNR Bicol Commuter Line.
PNR METRO COMMUTER LINE
The PNR Metro Commuter line stretches from Tondo, Manila to the
southern and northern edge of Metro Manila.
PNR BICOL COMMUTER
The PNR Bicol Commuter line operates in the Bicol Region. Launched in
2009, the system serves Passengers to and from Naga and Legazpi, with
one train a day.
16. LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT ( LRT 1 AND 2)
On July 12, 1980, the country's president, Ferdinand E.
Marcos, created the Light Rail Transit Authority ( LRTA) as a
government agency.
METRO RAIL TRANSIT
Designated as the Blue Line, the MRT has been a transport
mode available to commuters traveling through EDSA for more
than a decade, moving about a million passengers every
month.
17. COACH TRAVEL
They term coach is used to describe any form of publicly or private-
operated road service for passengers, other than local scheduled business
services. It thus embraces a wide range of tourist services that are sold to the
public, both directly and through other secure of the travel industry, and these
may be categorized under the following headings: a. Express coach routes,
both domestic and international, b. Private hire services, c. Tour and
excursion operations and d. Transfer services
Long-distance coach services provide a cheap alternative to rail and air travel
and the extension of these services and have drawn and increasing number
of tourists at the cheaper end of the market, particularly those in younger age
groups.
19. A. BUS
A bus ( Omnisbus, Multibus, Autobus) is a road vehicle designed
to carry passengers. The most common type of business is the
single-decker rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker
buses and articulated buses, and smaller load carried by midi bus
and minibus; coaches are used for longer distance services.
20. BUS TYPES
Transit motorized vehicle which a purpose -built for city transportation. These
speed will never rich high level as it mean accommodate passenger who are
standing or seated the transit bus is your average bus they kind your likely to see in.
Cites and town around the word
21. Motorcoach as a bus built for intencety or international transportation of seated
passenger over medium and long distance .As the point to point distance are
fever and father between standing. Room is almost never include or allowed
coach. Business often include a passenger cluben higher club the ground city
bus usually to have massive storage compartment whit sile dore below to hold
laegge packages and other
22. Rigid bus which a single riged classic as a foundation this is the average
bus. On that is not pulled as a traller by a sparet tractor or any bus whit
articulated joins which is a bus about shortly a rigid bus may be single
decker bus or a double decker bus a second compartment to accommodate
passenger above the Maine one on the group level
23. Articulated bus. The articulated bus whit to aligned passenger compartment
connected by an articulated join articulated buses are just translet buses whit higher
capacity
24. Minibus a motorized vehicle made for transporting a bout a dozen passenger more
or less it looks something like a cross between the average bus and minivan and it is
something equipped whit a life for whellcharis
25. In the Philippines whit more thane 12.00 buses siver
around the country in the biggits bus company is the
yanson group of bus company biggest in Asia well
the bus in is not know to many people especially
because it is not the primary bus company
dominating Luzon where the capital of city of the
Philippines is located the bus majorly operate of
visayas and Mindanao owning bus like Ceres
vallacar .goldstar. Bachelor express the rural transit of
Mindanao .the table below show the biggits bus
companies of the Philippines
26. The taxicab also known as a taxi or club is type of vehicle for her whit driver .use
by a single passenger or small group of passenger often for non shored ride there
are four distinct forms taxi club a high can be identified by slight differing term and
differin country
27. Hackney carriages also Know as public hire hailed or street taxis licensed for
hailing through communities
28. Private hires vehicles .also known as minicab or private hire taxid
lenced for pre boking only
29. Taxis .buses also know as jitney .operating on pre set routes typified by
multiple and stop multiple independent passenger
31. The private car
Undoubtedly. The increase in private car ownership has done
more to chance travel habits than any order factor in tourism .it
his provided families in particular whit new freedom of
movement. increasing opportunities to take day excursion as
well longer trips. but just like any other form of transportation
private cars. Have some backlog such as pollution and
congestion
