Riding the bus for the first time was a great experience for me, I took the bus at Fayetteville State University all the way to the transfer center which was at Downtown Fayetteville. I wanted ride to all the time point so I had to take the bus again to its transfer point and then back to Fayetteville State University. My experience on the bus was awesome been that it was my first time of riding the bus. On time performance on routes was awesome the driver or the operator was on time. The bus was at the time point (FSU) at 11:40am and was not late, it was within the 5 minutes regulation. Also the operator was very friendly with riders who were riding the bus and yes she knew almost everybody that was on the bus. She conduct herself in a professional manner and even had to help some riders who were having problems inserting their money in the fare box. And honestly speaking I didn’t even know how to insert my pass, she was kind enough to help me and let me know that the next time I ride the bus, this is how I have to do things.
In the nature of the operation, the bus starts at the transfer center (Downtown Fayetteville) to Fayetteville State University to Murchison Rd/ Jasper St to Murchison Rd/Country Club Dr and to University Estates. From Transfer center to FSU was 10 minutes and the other stop were 5 minutes in terms of run time. It’s headway time was every 30 minutes which the speed at which the bus goes is around 30 to 40 miles per hour and all drivers must have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to be able to drive a bus. Route length was approximately 3 to 4 miles and the round trip time is 60 minutes or an hour. Headway time was at every 30 minutes a bus leaving from the transfer center. The kind of bus I took was low ...

...er transfers, which your pass is still valid for an additional bus ride. If you buy a bus pass, you may be eligible for discount fares, typically seniors, disabled individuals and students receive discounted bus pass fares. Also all sales are final and if your pass expires you can’t take or ride the bus. Children less than 36” tall ride the bus for free with a paying adult, but children 36” to taller must pay the full fare. Once you get on the bus insert your pass or cash into the fare box which is typically located next to the driver, your money is not refundable. Generally, bus operators don't give change, so one must be sure to have the exact amount required to pay for the fare. Then find you a seat once you are on the bus or if you have to stand, adopt a wide stance and it is important to maintain your balance because the bus can slow down or speed up abruptly.
The issue at hand is that Duquesne University students are displeased with the transportation services available to them specifically the SGA Loop Bus. I believe Matt Liberatore speaks for the majority of students when he commented (about the Loop Bus) saying, “It is not as effective as it should be. They’re inconsistent, and aren’t enough prevalent as they should be.” Problems were evident from the beginning of its existence. The Loop Bus is a free service to students of Duquesne University that runs Friday and Saturday beginning at 5:00 in the evening and ending as early as 12:30 and as late as 2:30am. This leads to many cases of being stranded in unfamiliar places throughout the city. Matt also commented on how was inconvenienced during his freshman and sophomore years where he remembers waiting hours until another bus would come because the previous was too small.

I made usual trek home this past weekend. With Morgantown being about 3 hours away from home, I unfortunately have to ride a charter bus. It’s basically a greyhound with an extensive amount of decals on the side that blows it name completely out of proportion
There are many controversial issues concerning the bus service provided by Buena Vista University.

It is important, nonetheless, that people learn facts about BVU Rides in order to make an educated judgment.

When discussing the notion that “Love can often lead to the creation of an ‘Outsider’." there are cases in our literary examples that would agree with the statement, and some that would not. Outsiders in Much Ado About Nothing, Pride and Prejudice and A Streetcar Named Desire are created by both love and other themes, whether it be class, power, disinterest or a scandal.
For someone who has never been to a game, there may be some things you might want to know. To get to the stadium, you travel I 26, when leaving from Johnson City, for around two hours. The exit to go downtown will take you right to the campus. Arriving about two hours before the game can be helpful when finding a parking place. If you have a hard time being on your feet a lot or get tired easily, going later might be for you. Since the stadium is outdoors, it may be a smart thing to take along ponchos, coats, and anything needed to make you comfortable. The stadium brings out people of all ages. A lot of families come down together. The trip will definitely involve having fun, so carry along some things to help you go crazy for your team. The ushers at all the gates allow pom poms, signs, face painting, noise makers, and anything else you can think of.
The proposed location in Cobb County lies between Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 and will provide multiple access points to the stadium. There are numerous highways and side roads that will alleviate traffic congestion before and after game time. The proposed track of land for the new stadium is approximately 60 acres. However, the stadium will only occupy approximately 15 acres. The remaining 45 acres will be utilized for parking and mixed-use development. The site will accommodate approximately 6,000 parking spaces and the mixed-use development will consists of shops, restaurants, bars, residences, offices, and hotels. The 60 acre complex is designed to keep the sports fan entertained for the entire day and not just for the game only. If additional parking is needed, there are approximately 30,000 parking spaces within close proximity to the proposed stadium location that will have circulator shuttle access.
A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams, is a social realism play that takes place during the 1940’s in New Orleans. Williams uses this play to directly question inherent ideologies of human nature. He uses plot, narrative techniques, motifs, and contrasting values to directly challenge the reader’s perspective.
Players can ride the bus so it is easier for them to get to games. Also the players can talk and have fun on the bus. Because they can talk it will bring the stress away so they don’t have to worry about the game. Parents don't have to worry about their kid being late ether.
The second I stepped onto the campus, I knew that it was where I wanted to be and I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great. The most appealing of these factors to me was the outstanding criminal justice program. This really caught my eye because my long-term goal after college is to work in the criminal justice field as a criminal investigator or a crime scene investigator. Not only does UNF have a great criminal justice program with outstanding professors that were, at one point, in the criminal justice field, but they also have great ties with the FBI and Jacksonville Sheriffs Office,

One solution for improving student transportation is offering a shuttle service. Although, UTSA already provides a shuttle service, it is limited to only two routes and can be unreliable. The transportation service at UTSA recommends waiting at the shuttle stop “30 to 45 minutes before your scheduled class time” (Business . . .). The thought of waiting in freezing temperatures trying to hide from the icy rain can be disheartening for some but it is a reality for students whose only way of transportation is through the shuttle. As a result of similar issues, Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey, “provides 40 buses on 10 routes complete with GPS tracking“(Horan 52). The purpose of GPS trackin...
