All through the United States, public transportation had been under-utilized. Everybody wanted their autonomy, and it was a small expense to do so. As a result, many of the established public transit programs have not grown to their potential. Now that the oil crisis is deepening, those people who were happily driving their Hummer H2s to work from their houses 40 miles away are now coming to grips with their true vulnerability. Now that there is a new influx of people trying to use the trains and busses, many cities are finding that they are not prepared. Case in point: Chicago sold some of their old, tired commuter rail cars to Virginia many years ago for $1 apiece. Now that everyone is trying to take the trains in Chicago, they are now negotiating to buy the same cars back for $10,000 each. Yes, people should use public transportation more, but Federal, State and local authorities also have to cooperate too, and make the systems so they can accommodate growth, while keeping it attractive to new customers. |

in transporting a refrigerator If the refrigerator is laid on
it's side during transport
what ill effect could this
have on the refrigerator and
why?

The compressor on the refrigerator has oil in the crankcase, when turn on its side the oil leaves the crankcase and enters the lines. On startup the compressor will overheat and possibly lockup. There are temperature safety's to help prevent this but it still is possible. If you have to lay the fridge down leave it upright for a few days to let the oil migrate back. It should be fine, and yes the refrigerator has refrigerant in it not freon. Freon is a brand name of refrigerant manufactured by dupont. |

How do they transport the By plane or boat? I know that
they must transport them also
when they sell them
internationally or for other
prestigious international
horse shows. It must be VERY
expensive! I'm guessing that
most of the equestrian riders
come from wealthy families.
Horses aren't cheap, are they
horse owners??? Anyways, I was
just wondering about the
transportation. I'm assuming
they fly them in special cargo
planes like they use for
transporting zoo animals
and/or special livestock.

The travel by airplane. After a seven-day quarantine in Europe, the US horses flew to the equestrian site in Hong Kong 'as part of a global migration that will ultimately include 297 horses from 47 nations travelling on 57 airplanes.' |
