Core Themes
These are some of the core themes I think the iMovie should cover:
Dwell Time for bus transit - Like everybody else is saying, dwell time is definitely a issue that many people fail to recognize as a problem.
Tardiness - I know that the trains are scheduled to come every some odd minutes, but rarely have […]

5 Core Themes
Here are some of my ideas for core themes:
1. Modes of transportation for different boroughs/ neighborhoods.

5 core themes
1) excessive car use because of haul length to subway

4) passenger boarding time increases dwell time
5) street traffic lengthens travel time

5 core themes for the i-movie

Mass transit vs driving (pros and cons of each)
600 ft rule
possible improvements that could be made along the trip

Another reason to not ride the bus…
I told my friend, who is a transit fanatic and knows the train’s model numbers, about the trip we had today. Soon, he sent back this photo (they’re buses in Canada).

My Commute from Urban Suburbia
Well, I thought I posted on the blog, but I was wrong.
My commute from New Haven, CT isn’t as bad as one would imagine. I drive from my home to the train station (about 4 miles, and takes 20 minutes on average). From there I catch the metro north train to Harlem 125th Street. Its […]
