Home›Routes and Services›ExemplifiesBrowse ByExemplifiesThis dimension names the broader idea or category that a particular route or service best illustrates. A bus, for example, is "a motor vehicle that carries significantly more passengers than an average car or van, but fewer than the average rail transport," according to Wikipedia, and a specific bus route can stand as the clearest working example of that whole category. Browsing by what a service exemplifies points a visitor to the single best case of a wider pattern.FactsExemplifiesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested130 BCE 1ExemplifiesFilter Results11 entriesRoute TypeAllAncient Trade Routes (3)Ferry Services (1)High-Speed Rail Services (1)Historic Numbered Highways (1)International and Frontier Highways (1)Long-Distance Passenger Trains (1)Luxury and Tourist Trains (2)Metro Lines (2)Named Air Routes (1)Scenic Coastal Roads (1)Sea Lanes and Passages (1)Transcontinental Freight Rail Corridors (1)OperatorAllAir France (1)Amtrak (1)Belmond (1)British Airways (1)Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (1)East Japan Railway Company (1)Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (1)Indian Railways (1)Japanese National Railways (1)Journey Beyond (1)London River Services (1)Metropolitan Transportation Authority (1)New York City Department of Transportation (1)Qantas (1)RATP Group (1)Tokyo Metro (1)Transnet Freight Rail (1)Via Rail (1)Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (1)Established EraAll1498 (1)1888 (1)1889 (1)1900 (1)1905 (1)1906 (1)1915 (1)1919 (1)1923 (1)1925 (1)1926 (1)1927 (1)1929 (1)1930 (1)1932 (1)1937 (1)1939 (1)1942 (1)1947 (1)1949 (1)1950 (1)1954 (1)1955 (1)1964 (1)1965 (1)1969 (1)1970 (1)1971 (2)1976 (2)1979 (1)1982 (1)1988 (1)1990 (1)1993 (1)1994 (1)2004 (1)2010 (1)Operational StatusAllActive (10)Historic / Discontinued (3)Under Construction / Planned (1)Country or RegionAllAustralia (3)Belgium (1)Canada (3)France (1)Germany (1)India (2)Japan (2)Netherlands (1)South Africa (1)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (2)United States (3)Cargo or PassengerAllBoth (3)Freight (1)People (2)MediumAllAir (1)Land (7)Water (2)Origin YearAll-65,000 (1)3807 BCE (1)2500 BCE (1)1556 (1)1863 (1)1903 (1)1964 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAviationExemplifies4 entriesCamel TransportExemplifies1 entryCommuter RailExemplifies1 entryFerryExemplifies4 entriesFreight RailExemplifies1 entryHigh-Speed RailExemplifies2 entriesIntercity RailExemplifies11 entriesMaritime TransportExemplifies4 entriesNarrow Gauge RailwayExemplifies1 entryRapid TransitExemplifies9 entriesRoad TransportExemplifies7 entriesSources1.
