While some still hold up the idea of underground highway systems as a key to salvaging city cores, many transportation experts dismiss it as a whimsical daydream whose cost is prohibitive. What's more, they say cars will never be eliminated from city centers because many people will never visit areas where they can't drive. 1, record 2, English, - underground%20highway
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Underground expressway: In common usage, "freeway" and "expressway" are synonymous. In transportation terminology, however, a "freeway" is a type of expressway but with full control of access. 5, record 2, English, - underground%20highway

A gas burner in which the actual combustion begins in a refractory tunnel or tuyere block. It is a relatively high capacity partial-premix type of gun burner, which uses the kinetic energy of the gas stream issuing from the orifice to bring in at least part of the air required for combustion. A wide range of control of flame characteristics is obtained by adjustment of the primary air, thus causing combustion to be delayed until secondary air can reach the air-fuel mixture. 1, record 3, English, - tunnel%20burner
