Urban Public Transportation : A Public Bus Service

Everyday people in Toronto travel to places using public transportation. Without public transportation, we wouldn’t be able to go to places that are far away from us. We needed them in our everyday life but there are key problems that surfaces when using public transportation. Public transportation may seem convenient but for others it may not seem ideal for them from certain circumstances such as the cost, lack of transportation in a certain area and the delays. These make people not want to ride a public transportation which is why Toronto should improve on the public transportation to make the best interest for the people.

The change of Northern Illinois University’s bus system is demanded throughout campus through various sources. The issue comes in hand of the student’s safety through afternoon times. Our current bus system puts not only the student’s safety on line but its staff as well. The fact of the line is, having one bus running throughout an 800 acres campus does not make it safe for students and staff to get from one place of campus to another. It’s a way to save money rather than helping students get around campus in a safe and efficient way. Although there will be more money needed to add the number of buses running after 7pm, the investment is crucial for students’ safety

-Since I have experience with riding buses, I know that busy hours are in the morning and afternoon, when people are going to work and to school and after work and school. Normally, there’s mixed crowds of people going to work in their uniforms or business attire and there are people of all ages going

Developing effective retail management is utilizing the space in the store in order to display items that provide the largest contribution to overall profit. Retailers attempt to draw maximum attention to their most profitable products

There are times when areas of government are operating improperly and the judiciary must step in to be able to return it to order. These instances are often met with controversy as people are dismayed by the branch overstepping its traditional boundaries. Despite this discomfort, it is always better that constitutionality and order be reinstated than people gain comfort in their unlawful actions and decisions. Examples of these instances of judges stepping forward to get these areas back on the correct path include the Boston busing situation and the reforms in the Oakland Police Department.

Both examples proved that transportation was an important factor for the decision, but in some counties and states that wasn't the case. Many had transportation development, but due to a lacking of large numbers and percentages within the other factors, they decided to not support the secession. As states as a whole, all of the states that supported the secession had some means of transportation. Due to the fact that states and counties want to be connected to the larger world economy, effective transportation,was very important. If the state decided to secede without that factor, it would have failed to produce enough economical

Public space can easily be changed if you belong to certain minority groups that are stereotyped and devalued, such as being a person of color. Brent Staples describes his “ability to alter public space in ugly ways” in his essay “Just Walk On By: A Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public Space” (239). Racial profiling is still a discernible issue in America and Staples’ essay is a perfect example of the damaging effects racial profiling has on people of color. He recounts the event that caused him to become aware of the change his presence creates in public and the steps he took to help people not fear him during the walks he took at night to help battle his insomnia.

The Supreme Court’s support for segregation in public transportation, decided in Plessy v. Ferguson, surged the implementation of the “separate but equal” doctrine into an array of facilities affecting everyday lives, including schools. The facilities and schools reserved for Blacks were strikingly separate but not equal to the services available for Whites. Blacks received out-dated, hand-me-down textbooks, school buildings lacked stability and comfort and Black students overall, were not given the same opportunities as White students. Whether the tangible inequalities such as the textbooks or desks were significant or not, “the comfortable assumption of the biological, cultural, and social superiority of the white race” proved to not

The collection of Riders fades, as the music continues to play, to a newspaper heading that reads “ICC Forbids Bus station Segregation.” Quickly, it fades to another headline that reads “Bus Terminals Told to Mix Up or Close Up” as historian Raymond

This paper is about the anthropology book Streetwise: Race, Class, and Change in an Urban Community by Elijah Anderson. In the book, Anderson exposes the racial relationship between blacks and white along with the class relations between the poor and rich in an urban community located in Philadelphia. Elijah Anderson uses both native Philadelphian stories and his own professional understanding to describe, in detail, the interactions of people of different race and social standing in Philadelphia. Even though, Anderson spent years living in Philadelphia to research for this book, Streetwise could be used to describe any major city in the country. Although, Streetwise was originally published in 1992, Anderson’s research is still an applicable issue in contemporary society. That is why I believe Streetwise; Race, Class, and Change in an Urban Community is a great read for anyone interested in learning more about Philadelphia’s social differences.

Eagle Academy is a private, all-boys charter school designed to change the lives of young men for the better. The school was founded in 2004 by a group of educators, parents, community leaders and corporate partners led by the One Hundred Black Men. Currently, 93 sixth and seventh grade students attend the school. The Exploration Club was designed to expose the students to a wider variety of New York historical, cultural sites and events and to give them a basic understanding of the Mass Transit System. Many of our middle school scholars take the BX42 bus and the BX15 bus, but could not tell you the BX42 ran from the Northern Bronx to the South Bronx, or that the BX15 bus

On September 19, 2016 I took the Queens College Shuttle busses. I took one in the morning around 8:00 am near the LIRR stop in Jamaica. When getting on the bus I wasn’t required to show my ID card. I sat around the middle section and I notice there wasn't as much students as I thought there would be. The route of the bus would go on Main street makes a stop at Queens Hall then go around the campus to Kissena blvd and enter campus from the Student Union.

Public transportation is serious need of a massive overhaul in this nation. We are in desperate need to catch up to the European standard of public transportation in this country. In Europe, citizens can travel across cities, bodies of water, and even counties with their state of the art public transportation system. Europeans are not nearly as reliant on cars and oil as the United States is because they have the much more practical option of taking the transportation provided to them by the government to where ever they need to go. They have set a model that the United States needs to strive for and meet in the near future.

The availability of the GTA buses depends on the time, location, and day of the week. For instance, the route one, Bridford Place Stop, is available from 5:15 am to 11:58 pm, Monday through Friday (Greensboro Transit Authority, 2017). On Saturdays the bus is available from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. Bus routes on Sunday are limited to 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and only routes 21 to 27 are operational (Greensboro Transit Authority, 2017). The limited weekend times and routes can be an issue for those who work on the weekends or on night shift. The affordability of riding the bus will depend on the need and size of a

Cities are places which have huge amount of gathering of people, collection of economic activities and complex infrastructure for people which all together are supported by transport systems.
