The main goal of modern cities, the meaning of life and doing business in cities is the range of opportunities that extend to the choice in employment, goods and services, maximum labour and sales markets. The way in which each of us is satisfied with our lives is determined, amongst other things, by being able to choose a good workplace, where we can manage to realize the potential of our abilities and receive decent financial rewards; the best goods and services (including in culture, health care, etc.) that meet our personal needs. Business efficiency is also largely dependent on the best employees being picked who, although moderately remunerated, will be satisfied with their job. This also applies to suppliers and customers. Being the main mechanism behind economic development, transactions and purchases are the outcome of meetings of people, so the possibility to have such meetings is dependent on mutual transport accessibility for people and organizations.
