Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Even today, real estate near commuter rail stations commands a price premium, a direct legacy of this nineteenth-century arrangement between where people live and where they work.
- This pattern of growth gave rise to what became known as the suburb, a residential area explicitly built around its proximity to a train line rather than to local industry.
- Because a worker could now live many miles from the city center and still arrive at the office on time, towns along the rail lines began to grow rapidly as commuters settled there.
- Commuter trains addressed this by running fixed schedules along fixed routes, stopping at stations spaced through outlying towns before terminating at a central city hub.
- As nineteenth-century cities grew too crowded and expensive for many workers to live near their jobs, a new problem emerged: how to move large numbers of people efficiently between home and workplace.
