Alex's website - Transportation

• COMPELLING STORY

The idea of the website is to find a better way or better solution to the Toronto's transportation system. The transportation unfortunately is behind compared to other major cities the same size and population. There's no easy way to solve this, but there are alternative ways to maximize the efficiency of the transportation and minimize the environmental pollution.
One of the main problems of Toronto is the time spent during the travels and the long waiting. As the city has plan to upgrade the system making it larger and more efficient it's not going to happen overnight. The cost of a new subway line is huge and the city will take years to get a new line in service.
The probable solution would diminish the street cars and replace them with buses that use less polluted fuels such as natural gas or even electric buses. They would be faster than the street cars and would not block the main streets in the case of traffic. The buses can go around and take different routes to avoid congestion.
The result of that would be a more environmentally friendly city and the travels from points A to B would be diminished dramatically. So people would spend less time waiting and traveling.

• TELL EVERYONE, BE EVERYWHERE

There are many communities on the Internet that one can register and advertise their ideas. For this website I would create forums to have many discussions going on and also publish the address of the website everyday on my main page of relationship websites such as Facebook, My Space, Orkut etc... Just by altering my status where the name goes all the contacts of each website would know at the same instant. I'm my case over a thousand people would get to know the website.
