    I wish to bring forward to your attention discussions about transportation on this forum.

    This subject should be excluded on this forum as there is already a much larger forum about transportation.

    Now I understand that transportation is technically a part of infrastructure however by allowing this topic to be discussed here, you are allowing near duplicate forums to exist discussing the same subjects. It is unfair to users of either forums as they probably don't realises that the other exists. I didn't know that transportation was being discussed here until someone provided a link here.

    In the interest of fairness to all users the discussion about transportation should only be in one place.
    :)

    Didn't this forum used to be part of Commuting & Transport?

    That was meant to be a temporary thing so it could be populated with the "eclectic mix" of Infrastructure (other types) that were in C&T.

    I've not discussed it in detail, but I'm tempted to have "roads" here and "traffic" in C&T.

    Why not just remove the "& Transport" bit from the C&T forum?

    You can then either append it here, or create a new one for it.

    Using a plumbing analogy, pipework is infrastructure; water is traffic!
    Therefore the roads, rails, canals & footpaths are infrastructure; cars, lorries, public transport (all modes), ships/boats & aeroplanes are transport. Transport used for getting to & from work is commutinig.
    Well, that's how I see it anyway.

    If it ain´t broke don´t fix it. I think the old forum was better. Commuting, infrastructure and transport all correlate. It would be a bad idea to move the interesting discussion of C&T onto another forum. Audiences would decline. It would akin to BBC moving Eastenders from BBC1 to BBC3 because that is the entertainment channel.
