Commuting

Probably going to get a ton of flak for this, but are hybrids worth with current gas prices? Before you respond let me explain a couple things. First, I am a student enrolled in a petroleum technology program, and only have 8 classes remaining before graduation. It is very interesting technology and costs a ton of money to research, develop, manufacture, and transport. Oil prices are where they are today because of Russian and the middle east basically not getting along; however, there is more…

Illinois Route 53 is a road that thousands of people utilize everyday, with so many people commuting on it, there are talks about expansion to help speed up commutes, however, Route 53 should not be extended because the project would be costly for commuters, homeowners, and the general taxpayers. One way that it is costly is simply the cost of the projects. The expansion is projected to cost from 2.2 billion to 2.7 billion dollars of taxpayer money. What this will be used for it to buy the land…

lies. Due to rough terrain, transportation in, and out, of the Pyrenees is difficult for one to cultivate; consequently, two rail lines wrap around the cliff sides creating the perfect type of conveyance (Pyrenees). These train carts are not only commuting people, but also ships agricultural goods which are grown in the area; as Pyrenees villagers often raise multiple farmlands (XXxBelle). The ethics practiced along the Pyrenees is not a possibility for any other area; thus proving, why one must…

We never know the instance of when we will encounter a loved one or stranger who desperately turns to us for help in their time of crisis. Sometimes trying to help a person survive in crisis will also bring about a mini-crisis in the person who wants to help. As we recover from our first reaction of "What Can I Do?" we become aware of some basic ways to help the person in crisis. In these times of both a national economic and health crisis, it is good for us to prepare ourselves with a survival…

lunch at different times. Carts are being set up by people to sell lunch. This “village” is located close to the offices for easy access. Another example in the film is the booming in transportation services. There are many employees that are commuting to work for 2 hrs both ways and…

crime. I came up with a few solutions for a student who commutes to the university to try and avoid all crime. Lincoln does have a bus system, it may be reasonable to look at the prices and see whether a bus stop is close to the location whomever is commuting from. Looking into riding a bike everyday may be a way to avoid any crime, but that does lead to the problem of Nebraska weather and/or living to far from school. Downtown Lincoln also has parking garages that do have 24-hour security which…

I want to discuss the current gas prices. Why do the gas prices change from day to day? Today the average gas price has come down about 40 cents, since early April of this year. Drivers in the United States are expected to use about 133 Billion gallons of gasoline this year; the 40 cent price break is about %53 billion in yearly savings if it were to stay in place for a full year. Then there is an increase in gas prices there is a tax on consumers. However, a decrease in gas prices is a tax…

sentence either way. The life sentence keeps criminals from being in the public. If they were not stuck in prison they could be out in the public harming more innocent lives. While they are in the prison they are given good, shelter, and very little commuting time. Sometimes they are given jobs to pass the time. They may cook or clean. But if they were…

I would like to first to introduce myself by saying that this is my second semester as a student here at California State University, Fresno. During my first semester I encountered many challenges that I did not expect. One of the challenges was commuting to school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and if necessary Tuesday and Thursday. I come from a small town called Madera, California thirty minutes north from Fresno, California. It was difficult at times to drive to school because I had a…
