Transit bus

Wearing a pair of light-grey sunglasses, a corpulent old woman with a hawk nose staggered onto the bus with a huge bag in her hand. My attention was caught instantaneously as the huge scar spreading from her right eye to her ear popped into my eyes. She stood near the door, scanning everyone on the bus in details with her rolling eyes under the sunglasses. I then noticed the eccentric combination of a white T-shirt outside of a white sweater with a pair of white slippers. Weird clothing, a huge…

time I knew that working was the key to adulthood and every ten year old dream was to be treated as a adult. Well..maybe it was just me but I knew that I always felt older than my age. So when my parent open up a little convenience store inside a bus company,and they gave me the opportunity to work there, I jump right onto the bandwagon and was eager to have my very first job. From age 10 to 13, I was very invested to my family business. My love for it was shown through my…

cars and large ones have four to six cars attached. Monorails are classified into large, medium, and compact systems, depending on the size of the cars and the overall system scale. In order to meet the demands for cheap, extremely versatile urban transit system particularly common in regional cities around the world, the compact monorail system was developed as a simplified version of its larger counterpart, with a big reduction in size and weight of not only the rail cars, but also ground…

of a personal vehicle. While, I am blessed to have my own personal and working vehicle, I am reminded that others do not have this possibility. Another barrier that could arise is the ability to financially pay for gas to use a car. Lastly, local transit does not allow me to go to this particular meeting from my house. If I did not have my own transportation, then I will have difficulties attending this meeting.…

In today's society gasoline cars dominate the streets, which emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

To decrease the environmental impact of gasoline cars, electric cars need to stop compromising. The purpose of this project was to create a car that can wirelessly charge off of pads on roads while driving, which would…

youth. You wouldn't believe me if I told you this was my first time going to Boise. I don't want to be mean to Idaho but I just have two things to say to you bo.....ring. Boise is a whole new world, my face was literally glued to the windows on the bus. Ooh! Ah! Was the only thing that would come out of my mouth.

the dark in order to get dressed and get to the bus stop for school. I stumbled off of my bed making sure not to wake up my snoring siblings and made my way to breakfast where I made myself some cold cereal. Some people would rather drink coffee in order to wake up in the morning, but I had to walk 3 miles to my bus stop. The cold clashed with my warm skin as it woke me up as if it were a type of caffeine. I was the first one there since missing the bus was not an option, and when it did…

understandable. Being his best friend I always tried to cheer him up from his own demons, this story starts out on the first day of high school. “Kiera get ready, the school bus is coming.” Said my mother while running to her car. Michal and me would always meet right at the bus stop to go to school in the morning. As I started walking to the bus stop I could see Michal looking down to the floor with his shaggy dark brown hair, looking rather upset. I run across the street feeling the light…

Before moving to the city of Portsmouth, Virginia I grew up in the small country town of Lavaca, Arkansas. While some aspects of living in the city is consistent with living in the country, the city lifestyle offers more convenience, experiences, and opportunities. Growing up in a town with a population of around two thousand people means being a part of a tight knit community. I was surprised to find that same sense of community living in a town of over ninety-six thousand people. I have…
