My part had many subjects, but I'm going to do cars and other transportation. My data will be listed from past to present. OK? OK.

In 1875 there were no cars, only carriages that were pulled by horses. Those carriages were used for transporting things like people, ice, and circuses. Things don't differ much in 1910, except that there are more poeple walking and very few cars. The first trollies are appearing too.

Things really change in 1935. There are now many more cars, no carriages, but still one or two trollies. There is almost no difference between 1935 and 1955, the cars are still there and maybe some other changes like the removal of the trollies.

1970! Time of the hippies! Most of the road has been removed to provide plaza, making it more difficult for cars to get through the city. Some of the differences in 1980 then from 1970 are that there is no difference! The plaza, cars, and roads are the same. If you look out into the wilderness you can see a freeway connecting neighboring cities.

Finally! Our last time period, 1990. Cars, planes, trains, and bikes can be seen with ease. The plaza has been taken out to provide more roads allowing more vehicles to travel through the city.

My prediction is that in the future there will be many more planes, vehicles with pollutant free engines, and vehicles that run on any kind of liquid. These will help by letting us use easily renewable resources and to save the ozone from depleting completely.

Thank you for reading my report on transportation and other vehicle uses.
