Subways: The New Urban Status Symbol
Business Week - December 5, 2007
by Jennifer Fishbein
It seems like everywhere you turn these days, a new
high-speed train is whisking more passengers across longer
distances faster than ever before. A [NOUN] to Paris from
London is quicker than flying; Japanese bullet trains traverse the
320 miles from Tokyo to Osaka in two and a half hours; and
magnetic levitating trains in Shanghai cut through the city at 268
miles per hour. But while high-speed trains may grab all the
glamour, the more mundane business of subway construction is
what's driving the biggest growth for transportation companies.
Indeed, the world is seeing an unprecedented boom in new
subways and expansion to existing systems. Thanks to surging
economic growth and urban populations, demand for subways is
soaring in China and India. Lots of other places around the
world also are building new lines, from Dubai to Santo Domingo,
capital of the Dominican Republic. And many European and
American cities ? including even such improbable locales as Los
Angeles and Phoenix ? have caught the transit bug.
Problem-Solving and Prestige
Some cities build out of necessity. Rising prosperity
prompted Dubai residents to buy so many cars that they realized
they could [ADVERB] longer drive these cars because they
were stuck in traffic. Others are keen on the environmental
benefits of metros, which produce far less pollution and
encourage drivers to leave cars at home. Some places, mainly
in the Middle East, are looking to diversify their oil-dependent
economies. And others, to be honest, are chasing an urban
status symbol. Building a metro won't turn any old town into
Paris or London, but it does tell the world that you've arrived.
"You have in some cases a prestige issue, which is more
the case in young cities in need of an image," says Jean-Noël
Debroise, vice-president for product and strategy at Alstom
(ALSO.PA), the French transport company that has built a
quarter of the world's metros.
Rennes is an example of the new trend. The city of about
212,000 people in northwestern France was looking to raise its profile when it installed a metro in 2002. It raised the bar by
opting for a driverless system made by Siemens ? just like the
shiny new No. 14 line in Paris ? protecting passengers from the
French penchant for transit strikes. Turin, Italy, did the same to
help win its bid for the 2006 Winter Olympics; its driverless
system opened just before the games. Even the Spanish island
of Mallorca inaugurated a short metro line in April in hopes of
luring even more tourists to its capital, Palma. Alas, it closed
indefinitely in September due to flooding, amid charges of
mismanagement.
A Boon for Transit Builders
The world's three largest metro manufacturers, Montrealbased
Bombardier (BBDB.TO), Alstom, and Munich-based
Siemens (SI) report high demand for mass transit, including
tramways and light-rail systems that run both under and
[PREPOSITION] ground. The global subway market was worth
9.3 billion dollars in 2005 and is projected to grow at a rate of
2.7% per year until 2015, according to a 2007 study by the
European Railway Industry Assn. Subway lines [TO BUILD] or
extended in 20 European cities and five Middle Eastern ones,
and dozens of towns are constructing light-rail systems, reports
the Brussels-based International Association of Public
Transport.
The size of a city determines its need for a metro system.
Cities of a few million people ? or those anticipating huge
population growth ? really can't do without a mass transit
system. But cities of one or two million inhabitants can choose
between a subway and a surface tramway, which costs far less
but also runs more slowly. [CONJUNCTION] funding is an issue,
cities usually will spring for a subway, says Debroise. "The
tramway has a very old image of the 19th century, with horses in
the streets," he says.

Obama gets first taste of Oval Office
By Andrew Ward in Washington
Published: November 10 2008 18:29 | Last updated:
November 10 2008 18:29
(1) Barack Obama stepped inside the Oval Office for the first
time on Monday during a visit to the White House for talks
with George W. Bush, outgoing president. It has long been a
tradition for the president to invite his successor to the White
House before leaving office, but this year’s meeting promised
to be more substantive than usual given the urgent economic
challenges awaiting the new administration.
(2) Dana Perino, White House press secretary, refused to be
drawn on the agenda, but it was widely assumed the financial
crisis and broader economic malaise would be a central focus.
(3) The topics One likely issue for discussion are likely to include
the terms for a proposed second economic stimulus package that
Mr Obama has urged Congress to pass before he takes office.
(4) Mr Bush has signalled his willingness to consider
another stimulus – on top of the $150bn (•118bn, £96bn) of
tax relief earlier this year – to shore up the economy.
(5) But Bush officials say the president wants the
Democratic-controlled Congress to drop its opposition to
the proposed US free trade deal with Colombia in return for
him approving further stimulus measures.
Rahm Emanuel, appointed last week as Mr Obama’s chief of
staff, indicated on Sunday that his new boss would resist
any attempt by Mr Bush to force through the Colombia deal.
(6) In another potential flashpoint between the president and
president-elect, Mr Emanuel also voiced support for
Democratic efforts to extend government support to the ailing
US car industry in spite of resistance from the White House.
(7) Despite the potential for conflict, both Mr Bush and Mr Obama
have stressed their willingness to work together in a bipartisan
fashion during the transition phase since the latter beat John
McCain, the Republican candidate, in last week’s election.
(8) Looking ahead to yesterday’s meeting, Mr Obama said:
“I’m going to go in there with a spirit of bipartisanship, and
a sense that both the president and various leaders of
Congress all recognise the severity of the situation right
now and want to get stuff done.”
(9) Mr Obama harshly attacked Mr Bush and his “failed”
policies throughout the campaign, but the president has
shown no signs of taking the criticism to heart.
(10) In his statement after the election, Mr Bush lauded Mr
Obama’s win as “a triumph of the American story, a testament
to hard work, optimism and faith in the enduring promise of
our nation”.
(11) Mr Obama has visited the White House in the past, but
on Monday marked his first time inside the oval-shaped
office that he will inherit in just over two months.
(12) The two men were expected to meet alone, allowing a candid
discussion about the demands of the job and the pressing issues
Mr Obama will face when he takes office on January 20.
(13) The meeting came as aides to Mr Obama made clear the
president-elect was planning to move swiftly to revoke a
series of Bush administration policies once in office.
(14) “There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive
authority without waiting for congressional action,” said John
Podesta, co-chair of the Obama transition team. “I think he
feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off
the course that the Bush administration has set.”
The suffix “-ship” appears in “bipartisanship” (p. 8).
The only word that also forms a noun ending in “-ship” is:

City hall braces for busy marriage day
If love is all you need, you’ll want for nothing in New York Thursday.
The folks who hand out marriage licenses are bracing for what could be their busiest day ever as Valentine’s Day romantics head to the aisle.
“When we are really busy, we have a second chapel we can open,” said First Deputy City Clerk Michael McSweeney. “We are preparing to do that. We’re expecting a lot of couples.”
City Hall’s unofficial record of 318 weddings on that date was set on Valentine’s Day 2002 - also on a Thursday.
And love is definitely in the air Thursday.
Melanie and Joseph Castine married on Valentine’s Day 10 years ago. Today, they’re renewing their vows in the same venue - the Empire State Building.
The couple, who recently moved from Roosevelt Island to Philadelphia, won a letter-writing competition with Brides.com to become one of 14 pairs tying the knot in the iconic building.
“Valentine’s Day is just the perfect day to do it,” said Melanie Castine, who, with her hubby, has been at the skyscraper every year to mark their anniversary.
“Everywhere you go in Manhattan, you can see the Empire State Building. It’s a constant reminder of our marriage. We call it our chapel in the sky.”
Meanwhile, love is being put on ice at one of the city’s most romantic spots.
Rockefeller Center is preparing to clear its rink at 8 p.m for a skater planning to get down on one knee for a surprise engagement.
“It’s a big surprise for her, but we’re sure it’s going to be extremely romantic,” a rink spokeswoman said.
