    The history of the public transport in India started with the independence of the nation. At the time of independence the nation was mainly a rural nation with remote far-flung villages and mostly poor citizens without any modern transportation facilities. At that time it was not possible for the private sector to provide transportation to the people. So the planners came out to provide rail and road transportation through the public sector as transportation is considered as the gateway of development. The government of all states started their bus transport system to connect the villages with their political and commercial hubs. Assam Government for the same purpose started with only four buses to run between Guwahati and Nagaon in 1948.…

    A train moving at 125mph would generate a wind speed equivalent to 50 feet/ second. Wind blowing with such speed will let a normal wind power generator harness about 3500W of power. If a train is about 656 feet long, running at the pace of 187mph, and it moves along a 0.62 mile railway track in about 18 seconds, the power generated in this small period by the T- boxes laid on the tracks will be 2.6KW.…
