Krupa, Stanislav ; Melechovský, Jan (advisor) ; Mervart, Michal (referee)
Railway transportation in New York is one of the oldest and largest systems in the world. Subway, according to the high density of the city, is the essential part of passenger transportation within the boroughs of New York City - Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. Connections to rural and intercity transportation increases the passenger flow within the system and classifies itself as one of the busiest subways in the world. The future of subway lays in track improvements and enlargements including new line T which is being constructed. A significant impact has the current financial crisis also and makes MTA - the management of the subway take important decisions regarding investment strategy. Overall, the railway system has been reliable, however, there are several challenges that must be taken into consideration to ensure the transportation for more than 8 mil. people in the area.

An Extension of Line "A" of the Prague Metro to Ruzyně and Its Influence on Landscape Changes
Chotašová, Tereza ; Patočka, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžičková, Ivana (referee)
My essay briefly outlines the history of the Prague metro. Although I made reference to currently existing metro stations, I discussed the planned construction of extensions to the metro. The main focus of my work was on the projects to extend the "A" line all the way to Ruzyně airport. A portion of my work is based on a questionnaire. I asked questions in four places on the "A" line in Prague including future stations: at Dejvická, at Motol hospital, at the Dědina housing estate and the Ruzyně airport. In conclusion I evaluated the opinions of informants and presented my own opinion on the extensive construction to extend the "A" line all the way to the Ruzyně airport.
