5. Congress vs Parliament The difference between congress and parliament exist in the way they function. Congress and parliament are terms that have come to represent two major forms of democracies in different parts of the world. While Westminster form of parliamentary democracy is found in Britain and many other commonwealth countries that were ruled by Britain at one point of time and are now free and independent, congressional form of democracy where the President is the head of the executive is opted by mainly US and some other countries. The main purpose of both congress as well as parliament is to make, pass, and amend laws providing representation to states or provinces that collectively make up the nation. However, there are also differences that will be highlighted in this article. At a superficial level, it seems hard to find out differences between a congress and a parliament as both are made up of popularly elected representatives of people who have got majority votes of the people in their constituency. However, there are differences between both in how members get elected and what their roles and functions are once they are members of the house. The first and foremost difference between the two lies in the meanings of the two terms themselves. While congress comes from a Latin word meaning “to come together,” parliament comes from a French word meaning “to talk.” The same difference in meaning almost defines differences in the election procedure of congressmen and parliamentarians. What is the difference between Congress and Parliament？ Both congress and parliament serve the same purpose of making legislations though, there are differences in how members get elected and what they do after getting elected in the two types of legislative bodies. Definition of Congress and Parliament: • Congress is the legislative branch of a governing system that has a congressional democracy. • Parliament is the legislative branch of a governing system that has a parliamentary democracy. Accountability of the Executive: • The executive branch is not accountable to the legislative branch in a congressional democracy. • The executive branch is accountable to the legislative branch in a parliamentary democracy. Freedom: • There is more freedom to members in a congress than in the parliament. This simply means that a member has more individuality in case of congress than in the case of a parliament. Parts of Congress and Parliament: • Congress has two parts as Senate and House of Representatives. • Parliament has two parts as House of Lords and House of Commons. Influence of the Executive: • Executive is more powerful in congress. •However, executive is more in control as far as legislation process is concerned in parliament. 9. About the differences between Congress and Parliament, which one is NOT TRUE？
A、Members in a congress enjoy more freedom than in the parliament
B、Congress has two parts as Senate and House of commons.
C、Executive is more powerful in congress.
D、Congress comes from a Latin word meaning “to come together”.

Public transport plays a central role in any efficient urban transport system in developing countries, where at least 16 cities are expected to have more than 12 million people each by the end of this decade, failing to give priority to public transport would be disastrous.
The term "public transport" covers many different types of vehicles, but most commonly refers to buses and trains. Rail services fall into four major categories: rapid rail (also called the underground, tube, metro, or subway), which operates on exclusive rights-of-way (优先行驶权) in tunnels or on elevated tracks; trams, which move with other traffic on regular streets; light rail, which is a quieter, more modern version of trams that can run either on exclusive rights-of-way or with other traffic: and suburban or regional trains, which connect a city with surrounding areas.
The recent trend in many cities is toward light rail over "heavy" rapid-rail systems. Whereas metros require exclusive rights-of-way, which often means building costly elevated or underground lines and stations, light rail can be built on regular city streets.
The concept of public transport also includes organized car pools, in which several people share the cost of riding together in the same private automobile. For US commuters in areas with inadequate bus and train services, this is the only "public" transport option. But even where other systems are comprehensive, there is vast potential for car pooling; recent research shows that in cities the world over, private cars during commuting hours on average carry just 1.2 1.3 persons per vehicle.
Public transport modes vary in fuel use and emissions and in the space they require, but if carrying reasonable numbers of passengers, they all perform. better than single-occupant private cars on each of these counts.
Although energy requirements vary according to the size and design of the vehicle and how many people are on board, buses and trains require far less fuel per passenger for each kilometer of travel. In the United States, for example, a light-rail vehicle needs an estimated 640 BTUs (British Thermal Units, measure of energy consumed) of energy per passenger per kilometer; a city bus would use some 690 BTUs per passenger-kilometer; and a car pool with four occupants 1,140 BTUs. A single-occupant automobile, by contrast, consumes nearly 4,580 BTUs per passenger-kilometer.
The pollution savings from public transport are even more dramatic. Since both rapid and light rail have electric engines, pollution is measured not from the motor exhaust, but from the power plant generating electricity, which is usually located outside the city, where air quality problems are less serious. For typical U.S. commuter routes, rapid rail emits 30 grams of nitrogen oxides for every 100 kilometers each rail passenger travels, compared with 43 grams for light rail, 95 grams for transit buses, and 128 grams for single-occupant automobiles. Public transport's potential for reducing hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物)and carbon monoxide(一氧化碳)emissions is even greater.
Although diesel buses—especially in developing countries—can be heavy polluters, existing technologies, such as filters, can control their exhaust. Buses can also run on less polluting fuels such as propane (丙烷, used in parts of Europe) and natural gas (used in Brazil and China). Test buses in the Netherlands that run on natural gas are estimated to emit 90 percent less nitrogen oxide and 25 percent less carbon monoxide than diesel engines do.
In addition to reducing fuel consumption and pollution, public transport saves valuable city space. Buses and trains carry more people in each vehicle and, if they operate on their own rights-of-way, can safely run at much higher speeds. In other words, they not only take up less space but also occupy it for
