School Buses No Longer Allowed on Apartment Grounds
2009-08-24 22:51:00 Two school districts are suing an apartment complex in Justice, Illinois, because the complex is no longer allowing the local school buses to make multiple stops within its complex. In a complaint filed today in the Circuit Court of Cook County, the Boards of Education of Argo Community High School and Indian Springs School District are seeking an injunction against Sunset Lake Apartments so that the districts' buses may be allowed access to the roadways within the apartment complex to pick up and drop off students, which the school districts assert had been the case for over twenty years without objection. According to the complaint, on August 13, 2009, the defendants requested that all bus stops be combined into one bus stop for the over...

hClipboard - Copy and Paste Apps Are Like Buses, You Wait For One and Two C
2009-01-25 06:43:00 Another developer released his own copy/paste app called hClipboard yesterday, that’s right ANOTHER copy/paste app. But KennyTM~ has taken a very different approach with his app as it is based on iKeyEx. It also seems to work on the principal that the keyboard has to be active to use it, but what is different is that hClipboard is an extension of the qwerty keyboard so you have to go to the Settings.app and open keyboards and then activate it, just as if it was an alternative international keyboard, then simply hit the globe icon with the keyboard open…

The agnostic buses
2009-01-08 14:40:00 Click the link for an article.It says,'the campaign was originally started as a positive counter-response to the Jesus Said ads running on London buses in June 2008. These ads displayed the URL of a website which stated that non-Christians "will be condemned to everlasting separation from God and then you spend all eternity in torment in hell ? Jesus spoke about this as a lake of fire prepared for the devil". Our rational slogan will hopefully reassure anyone who has been scared by this kind of evangelism. ' So what slogan would we put out on the buses? Not, Smile Jesus loves you.God is angry with the wicked everyday.?I hate divorce.?God shows his love to us in that when we were yet sinners...?I have no doubt we would not have the freedom to quote parts of Rom 1 or Leviticus.Next the nomenclature. It is not an atheist campaign but an agnostic one. As Spurgeon pointed out, agnostic is Greek for not knowing. From the equivalent Latin we get, ignoramus. Personally I favour a little...

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Buses Are Still On The Sidewalk
2008-06-10 13:35:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - I’ve made a post in January regarding certain buses who have made the sidewalk along Paso de Blas their temporary terminal, or where they await and load passengers. This is wrong, dangerous practice as it deprives the pedestrians the use of the sidewalk, and, at the same time, increasing the risk of reckless bus drivers hitting pedestrians as they maneuver their heavy buses ON the sidewalk. Add to that the mere possibility of buses getting out of balance, as the sidewalks are inclined. And well, it seems that the buses are still ON the sidewalk up to the very present. See the photos I took of those inconsiderate bus drivers. Thanks for subscribing to the PBS feed (P.B.S.)

Bicycles to be allowed on trains, Singapore buses as part of 6-month trial
2008-05-22 01:17:00 Bicycles to be allowed on trains, Singapore buses as part of 6-month trial By Hiroshi Limmell, SINGAPORE : Cyclists will be allowed to bring foldable bicycles on board all trains and public buses, in a six-month trial. This is an initiative by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a study to meet the transport needs of diverse groups of people. The trial period is from May 24 to November 24 this year. Foldable bicycles will be allowed on MRT trains every weekday during off-peak hours and on SBS and SMRT buses on weekends and public holidays. The trial is one of several initiatives announced during the Land Transport Review. The Review recognises an increasing trend of people cycling for sports, recreation or as a means of transport. Although the move gives cyclists more convenience, LTA spokesman Jeremy Yap said public safety must still come first. He said, “Cyclists and other commuters are encouraged to be considerate and make way for one another, so that more people can use ...

CNG, diesel buses to ply on Ahmedabad BRT
2008-05-12 05:46:00 AHMEDABAD: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has decided to ply buses running on compressed natural gas (CNG) as well as diesel on the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system here, an official said."We have now decided to use a mix of CNG as well as Euro-III diesel buses to ease out financial costs," said Municipal Commissioner I.P. Gautam Tuesday.He told media persons that AMC is veering towards diesel buses as "our purpose is to provide public transportation at affordable price".In contrast to the earlier stance of using only CNG-run buses on the BRT route, the AMC decision to use a mix of CNG as well as Euro-III diesel buses seems to be a major re-think over financial costs."A CNG bus now costs around Rs.75 lakh (Rs.7.5 million) from the earlier Rs.44 lakh (Rs.4.4 million) which is quite high. We have to look at the viability and affordability factor," he said.He said that the AMC was looking for the best option under the circumstances. "We are working on it and we have told the...

Singapore MPs to push for new law on seat belts in school buses
2008-05-04 01:32:00 Singapore MPs to push for new law on seat belts in school buses Following eight-year-old schoolboy’s death, they plan to lobby Parliament for immediate action By Nur Dianah Suhaimi IF ONLY I HAD BELTED UP: A road trip to Cameron Highlands two years ago left Madam Wai Foong Kwai, 54, paralysed from the neck down for four months. She did not have her seat belt on when the car she was in collided with another vehicle. — WANG HUI FEN  Enough is enough. No other child should die. Several MPs will be lobbying for new laws that will make it mandatory for school buses to be fitted with seat belts, they tell The Sunday Times. They are planning to speak up strongly on the matter when Parliament next sits, which is likely to be on May 26. ‘It is high time seat belts are made compulsory on school buses and the rule should be implemented immediately. This is very urgent because young lives are at stake,’ said Madam Cynthia Phua, an MP for Aljunied GRC. She and other...
Mumbai gets smartcards for local trains and BEST buses
2008-04-25 16:40:00 During my train travels from New Jersey to New York via Subway, I used to always think of how it would be to have a similar ticketing system for journey in crowded Mumbai local trains. The first thing that came to my mind - it was just not possible given the logistics and tracking involved. For those who are not aware, in US and UK (specifically for Subway trains and Tubes), the traveler has to just go to nearest vending machine before entering the platform, get a pass of standard denominations and swipe it before entering the train platform. Every time one swipes the card, certain amount is deducted toward your journey. No waiting in lines ! Now, to my surprise, even Mumbai seems to be moving towards similar system. The Central Railways (CR) launched "Go Mumbai" smart card - a first-of-a-kind travel card which works like a pre-paid telephone card, and can be used for travel on the local Mumbai trains and BEST buses.

Guangzhou?s Armada buys 207 hybrid buses
2008-04-18 02:48:00 Armada, an "integrated group mainly engaged in bus tourism" with more than 5,500 buses running, is going to purchase 207 hybrid Eaton buses. The buses come from the same company that recently signed a large deal with Coca Cola. The powertrain is made up of a 6-cylinder diesel Cummins unit and a 44 kW electric motor. The buses will be delivered by Eaton from the U.S. but will be mounted completely in China. Guangzhou already has a test fleet of 30 hybrid buses.Compared to the existing LPG units, fuel consumption is reduced by 60 percent (but let's not forget to take into consideration the higher energy density of diesel), CO2 production figures are 25 lower and both NOx and particulates figures drop proportionally. Armada's fuel bill will be also 40 percent cheaper thanks to fuel savings. [Source: Eaton via Moteurnature]

School Buses Need Seat Belts
2008-04-07 01:53:00 I wrote a blog back in February discussing how school buses need seat belts to ensure student safety.Many people flock to the idea that a strobe light on the roof is a wonderful solution to passenger safety, yet mock the simple idea of seat belts - a common safety requirement in other vehicles. The Morning Call published a report by Tim Darragh on Sunday that begins with the following heading:"Morning Call survey finds more than 200 students might have avoided harm by wearing safety belts."In my original blog, I included a video that showed students being thrown from one side of the bus to the other when it rolled onto it's side. This could have easily been prevented had the students been wearing simple lap/shoulder seat belts.The report is worth a read. There are even quotes from a Kutztown Area Middle School school bus crash victim whose lasting injuries could have been avoided if seat belts were available on that dreadful day in 2004.Click here to read the report!

La EMT de Madrid ofrece wifi gratis mediante sus buses
2008-04-04 18:05:00 La empresa de transporte público de Madrid, la EMT, ofrecerá wifi en sus buses. Mediante un dispositivo conocido como hotpoint los utilitarios de las líneas se podrán conectar con su portátil con un usuario y contraseña que estará impreso en el billete. La verdad es que es una medida muy innovadora, en el diario 20minutos aseguran que es la primera empresa de transporte urbano que lo va a hacer. Es una buena medida, y espero que el resto de empresas de transporte urbano de España siga el mismo ejemplo. Uno de los factores clave por las que la gente no coge el bus, a no ser que sea por pura necesidad, es la comodidad. La instalación de wifi contribuye en cierta medida a esta comodidad, sobretodo si es en trayectos largos, que no te queda otra que o leer, si no te mareas, y si te mareas pues mirar el entorno. Y mirar el entorno durante media hora es un poco pesado. Así que un diez por la empresa, que por una vez ha ...

Nobby On The Buses
2008-02-29 11:58:00 Alan Curbishley looks set to have Bobby Zamora back in contention for tomorrow's game against Chelsea. The striker has been out since 28 August with a persistent knee problem but has made three reserve-team appearances in quick succession - scoring a hat-trick in the first of them, a 4-1 defeat of Birmingham City. His last game was the 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Monday although the 27-year-old forward picked up a slight knock to his other knee. He was taken off as a precaution but has since resumed training. Confirming he would have largely the same squad as he had for last week's 1-0 win at Fulham, the manager added that Zamora was close. "Bobby Zamora only played half a game on Monday. He got a kick just under the other knee and he had to come off with it but he is training. So we will see how he is. He has got through the last three or four weeks and has looked quite sharp so hopefully he will be back."Dean Ashton also featured in that reserve game at the start of the wee...

I absolutely could not go out with somebody who spends every night in a steak house. It seems selfish, decadent and just plain thoughtless to eat that amount of meat.These two couldn't be more different from each other, though.

Study shows New York hybrid buses improve efficiency, reduce operating cost
2008-02-10 19:50:00 The first hybrid buses hits the streets of New York City almost ten years ago and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has just done a follow-up study to evaluate the second generation. The newer buses were compared to the original Orion VII hybrid units. The more recent buses were found to actually consume 6.8 percent more fuel than the first generation buses due to the EGR system that was added in 2004 to help reduce emissions. However, improvements in the design including a simpler cooling system and battery control system resulted in a 40 percent reduction in maintenance costs and a 24 percent reduction in operating costs. One example of the savings from the hybrid buses is the cost of brake maintenance. Because the hybrid buses use regenerative braking extensively, the buses are able to go more than twice as far between brake lining replacements. The buses currently in use in New York use lead acid batteries while the next generation of Orion buses will switch to lithium io...
