Laney, David M. "Meeting America's mobility needs.(150 YEARS: CEO OUTLOOK)(airline ticket prices and gasoline prices)." Railway Age 207.9 (Sept 2006): 54(1). Student Resource Center - Gold.

Centennial High School (MD). 6 Dec. 2006 http://find.galegroup.com/ips/infomark.do?&contentSet=IAC-Documents&type=retrieve&tabID=T003&prodId=IPS&docId=A152585453&source=gale&srcprod=SRCG&userGroupName=elli29753&version=1.0
Notes: It seems more people are riding trains or other means of tranportation as gas prices rise. Gas prices are not the only thing rising in cost, airline tickets have been too. Since more are riding trains, service is improving and more is being added to the trains. Some states have had to increase money for train industries by double! Many people see trains and such services as good things, since they are more affordable, better for the enivronment and there is no sitting in traffic. Even with numbers of employees going down for companies like Amtrak, more people continue to use their services. The company's safety has also improved in recent years.
Questions Are people finding other means of transportation only becuase of the high gas prices? What else will society resort to in the furture as far as trasnportation? What could be done to have gas prices go down, or usage reduced? Are there other ways we could get or save oil? How would society be without cars? How much does the competition between companies affect prices?

anabanana, I like the MLA info. Well done. You might want to quote or two in your quotes to refer to later when doing the self-evaluation and actual paper.
