Benefits Of Getting Around Town

Public transportation has come to be something that many people of all backgrounds, ages, and statuses rely on.

Being able to travel has become much easier for many over the past few years especially as the world has become smaller and more accessible with improving political relations between countries. Transport options are also at times much cheaper and quicker than they would have previously been.

The author of this article wrote that it is important for the citizens of Detroit to vote for a public rail and bus transit system. Puentes states that there are a myriad amount of jobs but there is also no way to get to them. Although there are many buses, trains and routes in Detroit, there are no connecting routes from one region to another or to the city itself. This makes it harder for people to get to their jobs in less than an hour. Something else the author mentions is that most of the families in Detroit receive low income, so they cannot pay for all the buses needed in order to go to work.

Growing up in a very little town in Illinois was a lot different than growing up in Houston, Texas. When I was in the fourth grade I found many things to have changed about my surroundings, I currently lived in a place where, the people thought and acted differently. I know now reading about it and understanding more that some of those changes were for the good and some were not. Small town living has its advantages such as, very close friendships, close approximately to may things, and friendly people. Looking back, I also realized that there were a lot of disadvantages such as lack of transportation, affects of a poor education, no opportunities for growth, crime, no diversity, and low paying jobs and housing. Now that I am older, and aware of the affects of living in a small town, I can see how these many things affected my life and will continue affect it in the future.

There are many advantages of cities, both modern day, and ancient. Cities help prevent diseases, they organize people and make them more productive, and they help the economy. In document 1, Edward Glaeser tells how cities help prevent diseases lowers, because all immunities spread when people are close together. People are dying a lot less for a while in cities because of this. In documents 1, 2, and 3, people say how cities organize, and make people more productive. When people are closer together, they can innovate, and help each other out, as a pose to suburbs where people are separated, and generally don't help,each other. This leads directly to cities having a good economy. When everyone is working and things are going smoothly, the city

Lucas County doesn’t have an efficient form of public transportation and is in desperate need of one. In modern America the automobile is a necessary part of life; there is almost no way to get from point A to B without a car. Unfortunately, many people don’t have access to a personal automobile and are left to depend on unreliable, inefficient, public transportation. The most common form of public transportation in Lucas County today is the bus, although on paper busses are viable, in reality they ultimately fall short of what is required of public transportation. Today there are more cars on the road than ever before, subsequently there is more traffic than ever before meaning these busses are subject

From my house, I have to take the subway to go to the soup kitchen and I have to pay when I use my metrocard. I think it’s kind of annoying to pay for the subway every time I go to the soup kitchen on Saturday,since I don’t really use my metrocard to go out that much on the weekends. For the park cleanup, I have to walk all the way to Shore Road to get to the park.

At the beginning of September, My brother and I went for a drive around Hot Springs Village. For several years Hot Springs Village has been doing a urban hunt to thin out the deer population. Blake my brother entered it, so we went to check the cameras, and put more feed out. A lot of people enter the urban hunts so getting rid of 500 tags is not hard. The reason for the urban hunt is the thin out the deer population because they get into flower beds, they eat the golf courses, and people their are a little more up scale and don’t want nuisance around.

It is against this segregated backdrop that many of the District’s transportation initiatives began. In its 2002 Transit Development Study, the Washington Metro Transit Authority (WMATA) cited several reasons for its focus on transit improvements. Among these reasons was the recognition that the District was growing but not equally in all areas (WMATA, 2002). Its list of “Promising Transit Routes” included routes extending from areas of traditionally higher-income per household and lower unemployment rates to areas of traditionally lower-income per household and higher unemployment rates. For example, 4 of the 5 routes involved routes to the Minnesota Avenue station from neighborhoods such as Georgetown and Woodley Park.

There is not a segment of American society that does not benefit from public transportation. It is a fact of life that some portion of the urban population is comprised of those individuals who cannot use or do not have access to a car to travel because they are handicapped, elderly, or economically disadvantaged. Consider for a moment if your elderly mother or grandmother lived in this neighborhood and could not get about without the help of others. Now consider how much more self-sufficient she would feel if she were able to get out and about on her own when she needed or wanted. Some form of public transportation is necessary if the people in this category are to have the mobility essential for subsistence and satisfaction in their

There is a system of mass transit in my community. I will need mass transit because people have jobs that they need to get to and if they don’t have a car or taxi they won’t get to their job in time.

Some believe it is better to grow up in a big city. However it is more beneficial to grow up in a small town. Rural communities have a lot to offer. It offers numerous benefits to living in a bigger community. For example, they have several job opportunities offered to the residents. There is less conflict between each other because half of the people don’t even know eachother. Therefore, everyone is minding their business and keeping to themselves. The bigger the community you live in the more money the city probably makes, for example, they offer a better education and provide more options as what a student wants to pursue in after graduating high school. In my opinion there are more sights to see when there are more places to experience and explore, therefore stating why a big city is better to live in.

Public transportation can help reduce stress caused by driving, save money, and also protect our environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road. In order to get more people off the road and into the public transportation system we must increase the number of buses and taxis that are available. We must also increase the number of stops available for daily bus routes. With more stops on the map more people are likely to use the bus system. Each city or town will be able to decide where more bus stops are needed and make the adjustments necessary to provide better service for the taxpaying citizens. Of course, none of this is possible without adequate funds in each town/city and the gas tax is guaranteed to provide those funds. Providing more public transportation will help us reach our ultimate goal of protecting the environment and ourselves.

Public transportation in rural areas of course operate to serve communities and individuals that live and work outside of urban areas. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, “the need for rural public transportation has historically been linked with providing mobility and accessibility to essential employment, goods, and services for older adults, persons with disabilities, low-income persons, and others. ” Perhaps surprisingly, nearly 10% of rural public transportation trips were for residents seeking medical attention. The public transportation’s remaining rides in rural areas provide transport for employment and education as well as for social and recreational activities where residents might not otherwise be inclined or even able to participate in these endeavors. According to the National Association for State Community Services Programs, low-income workers and households typically reside either in rural locations or in city centers, with modern jobs emerging further and further away from either of these two locations. For rural Americans and for this reason, public transportation offers the opportunity to access a better job and a better life. All over the country rural transportation services have developed to serve the rural communities and the citizens that live in these areas. According to the Community Transportation Association of America, in 2014 over 1400 agencies provide public transportation in rural and small towns.
