...Public transit in Montana The main goal of this bill is to improve public transportation in Montana. “Considering that the transit systems we know today are more expensive, less convenient, and have greater environmental impacts than driving, this goal is self-defeating. The changes described below could save Montana taxpayers millions of dollars while truly improving transit services for most people.” Urban public transit is often considered the most cost effective and energy efficient means of transportation available, but this perception doesn’t hold true in rural states like Montana. Urban buses use more energy per passenger mile than private vehicles and release more than twice the carbon emissions into the atmosphere than a small truck. The average cost of public transit, meanwhile, is more than 90 cents per passenger mile nationally, with more than 75% of that cost subsidized by non-transit users. The average cost of public transit in Montana, meanwhile, is about $1.76 per passenger mile, with more than 90% of the cost subsidized by non-transit users. Smaller vehicles can save energy and nimbly serve more parts of each urban area. Private carriers can operate at capacity and have routes on demand rather than scheduled. Instead of funding expensive transit agencies to serve only a few people, state and local governments could give transportation vouchers to people unable to drive. Also known as shared taxis, jitneys are a combination of taxis and buses. Opening...

...Dublin Airport (DUB) is the largest airport in Ireland as it serves about 20 million passengers annually. DUB is located approximately 10 kilometers away from the capital of Ireland in County Fingal. Arriving and Departing in DUB Public Transit from DUB Due to the relatively small distance from the city, it is not difficult to get from DUB airport to the city center of Dublin.

...The production of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) began in 1975. But the first rail service began on June 30, 1979. Today, for a person who is travelling by a train for the first time, MARTA may seem like a very unpleasant and smelly place. However, MARTA is more than just a smelly place; it’s a transit system that provides economic benefits to every corner of the state. Although some may be hesitant to use MARTA, this mode of transportation lessens traffic and pollution, creates jobs, and makes travelling to and from work more enjoyable. On Wednesday, October 14th, 2015, while travelling from Five Points to Doraville, I decided to observe the train and think about why people travel on the train. The first thing I...

...Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). Later that same day at approximately 5:00 P. M., a female passenger not only witnessed Robertson’s crude tactics, but took pictures of him in the act. She then forwarded these photographs to the MBTA. Having seen the photographs of Robertson, the Transportation Authority quickly assembled a sting operation to put an end to his lewd behavior. At approximately 5:00 P. M. on the evening of August 12, 2010, Robertson entered the trolley and remained standing in the stairwell with a bench seat two to three feet in front of him. A female undercover Transit Police officer, wearing a dress, sat directly across from Robertson. Within moments a small red display light on his cell phone illuminated, indicating a video recording in progress, as the camera lens focused on the crotch of the undercover officer. After approximately one minute of recording, other Transit Authority Police officers arrested Robertson and seized his phone as evidence. On December 8, 2011, Michael Robertson was formally charged with two complaints, one involving photographing and the other with video recording, in violation of General Law chapter 272 section 105 (b) (G. L. c. 272, § 105 (b)). The language of this law is as follows: "(1)Whoever willfully photographs, videotapes or electronically surveils another (2)person who is nude or partially nude, (3)with the intent to...

...Background Transportation services are a must when it comes to major cities. It helps the crowds of immense density to move together and more effectively to get everybody where they need to be. A big improvement was made when linked streetcars were introduced. It seems as if a machine that is run off electricity and can get through a mile in a little more than a minute was established not to long ago, but the streetcar has actually been around since the late 1890’s. They have been around since and are still one of the most effective ways of getting large amount of people anywhere in the city. That is only a few of the benefits it contains. One of the most prestigious and most known streetcar networks is that of the city of San Francisco, in California. The streetcars have added to the cities identity and when San Francisco is mentioned people tend to automatically think streetcars/cable cars. San Francisco’s streetcar network can carry more than 13,000 passengers per hour during rush hour and 173,000 passengers on the weekdays. Ed Reiskin, the SFMTA Director of Transportation adds on to the statement about, the amount of people who ride the streetcars, by saying, “This goes to show that while people come from all over the world to ride these vehicles, there are thousands of San Franciscans who rely on this line for their daily commute.” Showing that maybe without this streetcar network, the city would not flow so effectively. San Francisco has embraced the popularity that...

...CASE STUDY ON MANAGEMENT MC DONALDS CASE STUDY McDonald’s a leading fast food joint ,has enjoyed over 40 years of exceptional performance. In 2010, for example, the company had registered 10 years of 20 per cent per annum growth. EDITOR’S CHOICE The challenge: That year, Jack Greenberg became the company’s fourth chief executive. His main concern was how to lead the business in less favourable market conditions. McDonald’s was facing concerns about fatty foods and about beef; competition was squeezing margins; and growth from international markets was slowing. The strategy: Mr Greenberg did what the textbooks suggest. First, he focused on improving the core business, announcing it as his top priority. Then, he also set a second priority: to find a new platform for growth. With this audacious goal in mind, he supported five acquisitions of related restaurant businesses – including Chipotle, a Mexican food restaurant, and 50 per cent of Pret A Manger, the UK sandwich chain – and he set up the Partner Brands Division, to be responsible for these new businesses. Mr Greenberg also opened the door to a number of other, more organic initiatives led by his head of strategy, Mats Lederhausen. What happened: Mr Greenberg found it difficult to dedicate enough attention to both priorities. The core business continued to deteriorate and in 2001 McDonald’s announced its first quarterly loss and the resignation of Mr Greenberg. Jim Cantalupo, a retired McDonald’s executive...

...NJ Transit Paper Many tactics have changed in the twenty-first century we all know that the competitive landscape has almost completely changed. We have amazing leadership examples that have been left behind to help the present day remain successful business empires. This implies that there will always be traditional remnants of competitive advantage. When the economies advertising used to tip the scales and have a greater advantage over competitors in the past. It simply isn’t that way anymore and even the “little man” can afford amazing advertisement campaigns with little expensive out of their revenue. So has for NJ transits predecessors advertising was key for them in order to succeed as well as it was in order for NJ Transit making large advertising budget not nearly has an effective competitive weapons an effective weapon in the past. As the weapons of them game seem to rapidly change and seem to be almost completely unpredictable at times this new competitive advantage makes companies even larger ones adopt new ways of thinking. The new competitive mind set must value flexibility, speed, innovation, integration, and the challenges that evolve from constantly changing conditions (Chapter Notes). A term often used to describe the new realities of competition is hyper competition, a condition that results from the dynamics of strategic moves and countermoves among innovative, global firms: a condition of rapidly escalating...
