City planners adopted railroad technology in the Industrial Age to help out commuters. Since a lot of factories were not located close to homes, people took the train to get to work as their way of transportation.

By elevating railways above the streets or placing them in tunnels beneath the streets, city planners were able to increase commuter travel options and access.
