What are some ways that more customer value may be added to transportation?

I'm assuming you mean mass transportation, like subways, bus service, els, etc.\n\n1.  Secure, monitored parking lots where people feel comfortable leaving their cars and where they feel save moving from their cars to the transit station\n\n2.  Safe, patrolled trains, etc.\n\n3.  Regular and reliable short-distance transportation at end points (from station to major venues, major work areas, etc.)\n\n4.  Early and late schedules (although perhaps less frequent) for individuals who don't work regular hours (also, in case someone may need to stay late unexpectedly).\n\n5.  Reasonable cost -- must be materially less expensive than personal commuting in order to offset less convenience and flexibility.\n\n6.  Availability of emergency transportation alternatives in the event of a need to get somewhere quickly (in major cities for intercity travel, this would be cabs, for instance).

There's a few ways:\n\nCost reduction.  Transaction processing is much faster, less paper is used (ideally), etc.\n\nLocking in customers/suppliers.  The new modes of communication can be used to strengthen relations between a company and other parties.\n\nProduct/service differentiation.  IT can be used to help differentiate products from those of other companies, or even help develop new products.\n\nThese are just a few vague ones that I hope help get you started :)

By expanding the city  or -which is now very popular in all urban designs- creating small cities connecting to the main city , and have lots of  means of transportation but every small city around, has its own services,,,people always live where they can work  and along good roads as roads considered a way to create more work opportunities  (USA was created by a strong roads and railways network)

I do not understand the question, but I will attempt it:  What goods and services would be appropriate for a bus zone?  That is, what would you try to sell in a terminal or at a busy station?  Well, newspapers is an obvious choice.  There is a coffee bar at our bus depot that does a brisk business.  Food in carry-out pieces, such as pizza or soft pretzels, is a good one.  \n\nIn cities, there are (or used to be) shoeshine stands near the centers of transportation, so men could go to an appointment with their shoes shined.  I suppose barbers might want to be near a terminal for the same reason.  And how about a drug store for those who walk off the bus with a headache?

Put together a business case detailing the savings to the company versus the cost of setting up the needed equipment. In the business case, unless your company pays your commute costs, leave out the cost of your commute. You need to show them while this will benefit *them*

communication and transportation\nare very important to the economy.\n\nwith the coming of many high technological advancements\ncelphones, cars, railroad, ships, airplanes were built; that grately contribute to the otherwise long ago more time consuming, stressful, prone to misunderstanding type of caravan, or any other trade routes kind of business transactins/shipments.\n\nTraffic lights, to lessen traffic, to bring about order, in a society that needs, that yearns, that only understands, order, ergo to rely upon civilization for a promise of a future generation.\n\nRailroads, my friend, are for better shipments. In this world of capitalization, open market, and unfair circumstances. There are still those places that can't be reached by airplanes or don't exactly have roads but bumpy extremely bumpy pebbled version of a road; but only have railroads as the wisest and fastest form of transfering business commodities.  You know what they say, "the faster the better."

trains, ships, planes, teleportation\n\nThe problem is trucks provide the best cost solutions where they are used.

Are you talking about destination charge?  Thats a cost passed on to the consumer for transportation of the product from the plant where it was manufactured. If it was manuf'd in the south, then the transport cost will increase as you move north.

Yes, a drop off location outside the city will do the job.  From there the Cities could pick up their goods with smaller trains or trucks.

It has made reliable freight transportation more important.  \n\nIf a country cannot safely and effectively move its goods to a country that is buying, the buying country is going to find another supplier.  \n\nThe way it used to be, if you found a source for a product you were stuck with them until you found another source.  Now, with the world economy opening goods are becoming easier to find.  Because of that exporting countries have to make sure that the transactions are a smooth as possible.  The first step is to make sure they have good, reliable transportation.

I would go with businesses that spend a lot of money acquiring new customers.  Cellular phones and car companies probably spend the most, too bad you dismissed those ideas.  Probably the next down the list is credit cards.  Internet service providers, game manufacturers and soft drinks are probably up there too for that target market.

The DHL in the news page of the DHL website contains several articles that talks of how DHL uses technology to improve customer service including delivery time. Most useful are the links to the USA Today article and Wall Street Journal\n\nhttp://www.dhl-usa.com/Company/eprints.asp?nav=PressRoom/DHLintheNews
