Transit bus

My first act of chivalry is one that I do not do very often. Last weekend, I was taking the bus to my house. The bus was very populous and every seat was taken. So after 10 minutes an elderly woman stepped on the bus with a lot of bags. When I saw the woman I knew I had to do the right thing and give my seat up for her. I then signaled her and called her over so she would know that this seat was hers. The woman came over and I said, “ it’s all yours ma'am.” The woman thanked me very much and I…

eight-day travel with the drama club. My mom was going along with me as well as my friend, Brittany, and her mother. We would visit Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Arizona. When I got to the school, we loaded our luggage on the bus and started off for the airport. As the bus pulled up to the airport, everyone bolted out of their seats. After the luggage had been unloaded, we made our way to check-in for our luggage registration. I walked away without my suitcase, feeling as if I forgot…

starting a new school especially one where Stacey and I would be the first colored kids to go there. I still thought about T.J in that horrible chain gang and what they would do to him. “Cassie you’d better get dressed the bus gonna be here soon,” said Stacey. The tall, yellow bus pulled at the side of the curb and the doors opened. Faces of disgust peered down at us through the slightly tinted window. Stacey took no notice of them and selected a seat for us in the front. After we sat down a…

We started the bus ride in rock hill south Carolina and the bus ride was about six to seven hours long, Once we arrived at the hotel we all got our bags and went into the lobby area and we dissected the planes and what we were going to do, We got our planners with the schedule and devotions, After that some of us played cards while the others went swimming. The next day we woke up and ate breakfast then we did our devotions, once we finished our devotions we all went to the bus and started to…

are all here, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.” It was Mr. Bratwartz, the principal’s voice. I said goodbye to my best friend, Jake. He was on bus 6. When I got on bus 5, sat on seat 13, I felt something different and I felt nervous, but I didn't see what it was. "Maybe it's wrong, let me forget it," I whispered to myself. When the bus drove far away from school, I felt thirsty but I couldn't find my lunchbox. "Nooooooooo!" I shouted, "I forget my lunchbox at school!"…

A. Summary of my experience My first experience in the wheelchair was Sunday September the 25th when I made a trip to Wal-Mart in Nacogdoches. I got out of my truck and walked to the back and let the tailgate down. I then retrieved the wheelchair out of the back of the truck and then sit down. There was five people standing four cars up from where I parked. They glared at me and I knew what was going through their minds, as I passed I could hear them talking although I do not know what was said…

North County Transit District (NCTD) Rules of Riding When one reads the NCTD rider’s guide (a booklet available on all buses and online) it becomes clear that NCTD has policy that is directed at people who rely on personal utility devices, for example, shopping carts. While NCTD does not prohibit personal shopping carts from coming onboard the bus, these utility devices are not allowed to take up space on the bus, they must be folded and placed between the seats. The idea is to avoid blocking…

From the moment I was accepted into this program, I have been in shock. As soon as the plan put down its wheels and I landed in London It hit me we were in London, but not as hard as I thought it would. London at first impression was they drive fast and it was scary when crossing a road because I still do this day do not know which way to look so I look both ways. The ambulance sirens and are ten times louder than any United States one. London was not what I expected, but better. The dogs all…

My friends and I had just gotten off our bus to walk home. Our bus stop was in the cul-de-sac at the beginning of the neighborhood and we all lived either right in the middle or in the far back. It was a three-day weekend so we were all trying to figure what to do. Our choices were to either go fishing off the docks in the back of the neighborhood or go swimming from our small bit of sandy, muddy beach that has murky water coming up on it. I lived off the Lake Pontchartrain at the time. My…

Community- The first environment that we explored was Ecuador's capital, Quito. Quito is composed of a crowded atmosphere, which starts from the minute the sun rises to after the sun sets. Every Morning as my partner and I walked to the nearest bus stop, we observed how the streets were filled with cars, taxis and people walking. The large amount of cars that were in the city increased the amount of smog in the air. As the buses drove passed us, we experienced the extreme and profound smell of…
