The buses in La París de Sudamérica evolved out of a system of taxis, and each route is run by a separate company to this day.

The Cardinal has unforgettable views of the Southeast's stunning natural beauty. You'll see gently rolling horse country, the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley, and the wild white-water rivers of West Virginia, as they can only be seen by train.

Having a personal vehicle these days, is a luxury for a lot of people, and inter-city bus is a much more affordable form of transportation. What we really pride ourselves on is our ability to provide service to the under-connected, [like] folks who live in rural towns and small cities. And we're really excited to be helping these people access America 250 celebrations.

While dozens of other countries have delivered fast, modern train networks, we are stuck with a skeletal system built largely on slow, 19th-century alignments. Even developing nations are passing us by. There is growing recognition at the federal level that things need to change, but substantial and comprehensive reform would require an act of Congress.

Debuted this week, the company's new 10-coach Freedom Express train celebrates the country from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, according to Brightline. The design was created in partnership with America250, the bipartisan organization established by Congress to lead the nation's 250th anniversary of the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It's tempting to frame autonomous driving as a single leap. In public transport, adoption tends to be incremental - because the system is built for reliability, and new capabilities have to fit into daily operations without disrupting service. That is why a practical strategy is evolution, not revolution: introduce autonomy in a defined domain, learn safely in real operations, and expand capability step-by-step.

Our shows consistently generate significant revenue and boost tourism dollars in our host cities, as our delegates are deeply engaged in the communities they visit. This year, we're proud to partner with Reno, a city that understands the value of tourism and welcomes our industry with open arms - and real investment.

Let's start with the biggest issue on the horizon: the proposed merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Yes, the ultimate decision is about a year away. But sides are lining up for and against, and right now, the Surface Transportation Board, which is colloquially known as STB -- the railroads' economic regulator -- is considering the details of how the rules governing that decision will be applied.

The World Traveler 22RB, as it's officially labeled (a nod to the 22-foot length and bed in the rear of the trailer), is new to North America after the model name debuted in Germany in August. As the RV industry continues to struggle in the U.S. after pandemic highs, Airstream seems to be introducing this trailer to court new buyers with a more affordable price point (starting at $63,800) and easy-to-tow design that may not require upgrading to a larger truck or SUV.

Ideal luxury motorhomes don't fuss about your adventure gear and supplies. Their primary focus there is a premium small home on wheels that may cater to the rugged roads, but leaves you guessing when you reach the fathomed wilderness. Canadian RV company, Leisure Travel Vans, is changing this notion with the newly revealed Unity TBX series that has a spacious pass-through cabinet to carry along a great deal of equipment you may need in your time outside of your house.

Indian long-distance bus operator LeafyBus has signed an agreement with Eicher Trucks & Buses for the deployment of 100 electric intercity sleeper buses on national routes in India.
