Cascina Gobba (Milan Metro)
Cascina Gobba is a station on Line 2 of the Milan Metro. The station is located on Via Padova at the west side of the A51 Milan bypass road. This is beside the major highway interchange known as ''Cascina Gobba'', which is the main vehicular transportation hub of northeast Milan, Italy. The line branches here to terminate at either Cologno Nord or Gessate. The station takes its name from Cascina Gobba, a nearby rural village. MeLA, a fully automated people mover opened in 1999, connects the station to the San Raffaele Hospital. History The station was inaugurated in 1968 with the opening of the '' Linee celeri dell'Adda'', served by interurban fast tram to Vaprio and Cassano d'Adda. The following year the station started to be part of the newly built Line 2 of the Milan Metro, between Cascina Gobba and Caiazzo, as an east terminus of the line. On 4 December 1972, tram service was replaced by rapid transit, and thus the line was extended to Gorgonzola. The station became a ...

Logo Metropolitane Italia
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark. In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a Typographic ligature, ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension, the term was also used for a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon (publishing), colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage, a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.Wheeler, Alina. ''Designing Brand Identity'' © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

People Mover
A people mover or automated people mover (APM) is a type of small scale automated guideway transit system. The term is generally used only to describe systems serving relatively small areas such as airports, downtown districts or theme parks. The term was originally applied to three different systems, developed roughly at the same time. One was Skybus, an automated mass transit system prototyped by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation beginning in 1964. The second, alternately called the People Mover and Minirail, opened in Montreal at Expo 67. Finally the last, called PeopleMover or WEDway PeopleMover, was an attraction that was originally presented by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and that opened at Disneyland in 1967. Now, however, the term "people mover" is generic, and may use technologies such as monorail, rail tracks or maglev. Propulsion may involve conventional on-board electric motors, linear motors or cable traction. Generally speaking, larger APMs are refe ...

Cologno Monzese
Cologno Monzese ( lmo, label=Milanese, Cològn ) is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about northeast of Milan.

Junction (rail)
A junction, in the context of rail transport, is a place at which two or more rail routes converge or diverge. This implies a physical connection between the tracks of the two routes (assuming they are of the same gauge), provided by ''points'' (US: switches) and signalling. Junctions are important for rail systems, their installation into a rail system can expand route capacity, and have a powerful impact upon on-time performance. Overview In a simple case where two routes with one or two tracks each meet at a junction, a fairly simple layout of tracks suffices to allow trains to transfer from one route to the other. More complicated junctions are needed to permit trains to travel in either direction after joining the new route, for example by providing a triangular track layout. In this latter case, the three points of the triangle may be given different names, for example using points of the compass as well as the name of the overall place. Rail transport operations refer to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gorgonzola (Milan Metro)
Gorgonzola is a suburban station on Line 2 of the Milan Metro in the town of the same name. History The station was opened in 1968, as a terminus of the Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line. The fast tram line initially continued to Vaprio and Cassano. From 4 December 1972 the service on the Milan-Gorgonzola was carried by the trains of line 2 of the Milan subway, while the tram service continued between Gorgonzola and Vaprio, and therefore the station Gorgonzola became the interchange between metro and tram transport. The station, however, turned out to be unfit to perform the function of metropolitan line terminus, due to the lack of adequate parking spaces. Therefore, in 1973, work began to extend the line up to Gessate. Work proceeded slowly, with some interruptions, however, well before its conclusion, on 1 February 1978 the remaining tramway Gorgonzola-Vaprio was abolished and replaced by a bus service. The extension from Gorgonzola to Gessate Gessate ( lmo, Gessaa ) is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bus Terminus
A bus terminus is a designated place where a bus or coach starts or ends its scheduled route. The terminus is the designated place that a timetable is timed from. Termini can be located at bus stations, interchanges, bus garages or bus stops. Termini can both start and end at the same place, or may be in different locations for starting and finishing a route. Termini may or may not coincide with the use of bus stands. Size of termini For operational reasons and passenger routes to be their bus garage, where the legal terminus is just outside or nearby. For the purposes of integration of different public transport modes, termini may also be located as part of a transportation hub or 'interchange' or alongside other major amenities such as universities, shopping centres or hospitals. Minor termini may be a bus stop or loop in a residential street, used by very few or just one. Operational considerations While it may be of prime importance to the passenger, the location of a term ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
