This is how the CTA can save money
2009-11-04 20:56:00 Padraic Connelly wrote to "Going Public" with an idea for a more comfortable CTA commute. His letter continues after the jump."During rush periods and game days there's a pattern of behavior on the Loop trains, particularly in the subways. The crowds of commuters and tourists in those stations tend to congregate in the dead center of the platform or immediately by the bottoms of the stairs.When a train shows up all the waiting passengers are bunched up and all trying to squeeze into just a few of the eight available cars.I've learned in my eight years of riding the 'L' where each train stops and which cars are almost always sure to have available seats.Even during rush hour, heading north...

His ideas after the jump."One of the few interesting things that have come out of the latest 'Doomsday' scenario is the fact that a ride on the CTA costs $7. I think this is a number worth tracking through your sources and find out how it fluctuates to determine whether the CTA is indeed cutting costs.The reason I would love to see this tracked is the two ideas I have for 'helping' the CTA through this fiasco are dependent on them cutting costs. ......

Save Money by Comparing Car Insurance Quotes
2009-05-17 01:45:00 Many people will be surprised by how much money they could save by taking the time to compare car insurance quotes before purchase. Rather than just renewing their car insurance every year, they should compare the quote from their insurance renewal letter with other car insurance providers' quotes. It's not uncommon for some companies to be remarkably cheaper, by even as much as a few hundred dollars per year.There are two main reasons for this. The first one is that car insurance companies use different methods for determining how much they should charge people according to their 'risk factors'; risk factors being information about a person that makes them more of a risk to insure than another. For example, a 21 year old driver in a high performance sports car is much more of a 'risk' to insure than an experienced 40 year old, driving a family car. The higher the perceived risk a driver poses to a car insurance provider, the higher the quoted premium will be. Different compan...

There’s many ways to save money – even if it’s not educationally wise
2009-02-26 21:09:00 Dave Weber of the Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida public schools have the answer to tight budgets.Make the school week four days long instead of five. What’s an extra 40-45 days of school worth?School boards have been mumbling for months that a four-day school week would save a bundle on utility bills, diesel fuel for buses and certain other expenses, if only state law would permit it. Now some legislators are pushing just such a proposal."School boards and superintendents all around the state have been asking for this flexibility," said Sen. Evelyn Lynn, R-Daytona Beach, a veteran lawmaker who has filed a bill to make the change during the upcoming legislative session.Under her plan, schools no longer would be required to be open 180 days a year, as long as they put in the same number of hours. The common interpretation of the plan would be to have four longer school days.School-district officials aren't eager to go to a shorter week, which they acknowledge could be detrim...
