This text is for question 1 to 5

Public transportation systems are interdependent with other critical infrastructures

(especially the communications and information sectors), and the impact of an incident or
event during service provision can have cascading effects because of the complexity and
resulting multi-sector vulnerability. For example, most commuters use just-in-time arrival
goals in planning their work trips. They know when they are required to be at work and take
scheduled public transportation vehicles that will allow for on-time arrival. A serious incident
involving the public transportation infrastructure would cause large numbers of employees to
be late to work or to not arrive at work at all. This impact is reinforced as their non-
productivity would cause similar economic impacts to commerce partners.
Public transportation system (passenger rail including subways, metros, light rail,
commuter, and interurban rail) and transportation terminals (bus, rail, ferry, intermodal) are
vulnerable to terrorist attacks such as a disruption to the transportation infrastructure, which
include various types of terrorism and sabotage. Disruptions directed towards public
transportation systems can place communities and national security at risk. Significant
economic losses and interruption of vital service are also a result of terrorist attacks. Public
transportation is also susceptible to secondary impacts from attacks directed against the
energy, communications, and information infrastructure as well as attacks on public facilities.
