The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has introduced a new program in hopes of making bus service faster and safer.
Bus drivers and transit advocates joined outside the MTA Headquarters (2 Broadway, New York) to call for all-door boarding.
Brooklyn bus driver James Fuller said he has been assaulted and spat at for asking someone to get off his bus. “We have to divide our attention between a possible assault and driving down the road,” Fuller said.
New Select Bus Service routes have customers pay at a sidewalk kiosk and allow them to enter at any door. Beth Childs takes it from the Upper East Side to Lower Manhattan. She said it has “has cut probably 20 minutes off that trip.”
As the MTA prepares to choose a contractor for so-called mobile ticketing, advocates say ticket readers could be placed at all bus doors.

If you’re gonna get storytelling advice, why not listen to one of the world’s best storytellers?
“Just to try to hold the whole movie story in my head is a very lonely thing because no one can really help you with that.”
Kinda like writing, huh?
Missouri’s bid to land Amazon includes a bold initiative that would connect St. Louis & Kansas City in under 30 minutes.
Economic Development officials are touting a plan that would create “an innovation corridor” that would connect both metropolitan areas with technology being developed by Hyperloop One.
If built, the plan would include a stop in Columbia.
The Hyperloop One concept would connect St. Louis to Kansas City in approximately 24 minutes, and would include a high-speed tube that would transport both passengers and freight.
A feasibility study funded by private money is already underway.
According to officials, Amazon employees would have the option to live and work in different cities throughout the state.
In addition to the state proposal, economic development officials say they will support plans being submitted by St. Louis & Kansas City.
State officials will not publicly disclose incentives, subsidies or tax breaks being offered to Amazon.
Proposals to land Amazon second headquarters are due today.
Amazon officials say the winning bid will mean 5 billion dollars in investment and upwards of 50,000 new jobs.
St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern said, “This is the first time i can remember Missouri and Illinois working in unison on a Mississippi river development project. that is a big first. it’s a visionary proposal.”

Over the years we covered the historic “ALPHABET ROUTES”
More recently there has been a lot of activity in creating a “New England Gateway”. Because it involves several railroads, we will call it an “alphabet route”.
Before then, rail freight into and out of New England had been mostly Conrail (now CSX) or Guilford. Another route exists that avoids these carriers.
A test train has run to Johnson City, New York (January 2006). This coal train moved via the New England Gateway Route (P&W-NECR-VRS-D&H-NS)
“P&W” Providence & Worcester Railroad (the Providence and Worcester Railroad has joined the Genesee & Wyoming family of railroads)
***********
“NECR” New England Central Railroad
***********
“VRS” Vermont Rail System
************
“D&H” Canadian Pacific Railway (was Delaware & Hudson once)
*************
“NS” Norfolk Southern
************
A coal ship arrived at Providence, Rhode Island and was unloaded to a 50-car train.
The train travels to Worcester, Massachusetts, then to New London, Connecticut on the P&W.
It switches to the NECR for travel, back through Norwich, Connecticut then Palmer, Massachusetts, to Bellows Falls, Vermont.
At Bellows Falls, it is picked up by VRS and heads to Whitehall, Vermont.
From Whitehall, D&H takes it thru Saratoga, Schenectady and Oneonta to Binghampton.
NS carries it the last leg to Johnson City.
The route has varied, the owners have varied; but this is the basic “sketch” of the route.
Writing is human communication tool and it brings out the real personality in you as a person.

''Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.'' Benjamin Franklin
A Step Towards Prosperous Nation
The Coming of Protection, a poem I wrote and had published in High School based on the words Aegis Fang a symbol and meaning of shield and sword, Avant-Garde the meaning of ideas at the forefront of everything, and Van-Guard the meaning of people at the forefront of war or life. That poem was written at a time in my life that I needed help, and instead of getting help, I was left for 2 years in my room after High school for my teeth to rot with no one to speak too. After escaping severe childhood trauma, Federal United States of America Agents at Eastern Washington University stole my idea for Advent Guard and pushed me out of creative writing, covering up their violent crimes by taking me to Hawaii, Germany, and other places so they could take at least a few photos of me not alone and in my room, instead of not raping and assaulting me at Eastern Washington University so I could have made friends and wrote my book Advent Guard in Creative Writing. I imagine Advent Guard is The Most Elite United States of Americas Armed Forces Van-Guard Fighting team to ever exist in the history of The United States of America, at the forefront of all ideas and The United States of Americas Armed Forces. I also imagine that The Van-Guard of The United States of Americas Armed Forces is not retarded enough to fall for the violent rapists and terrorists who took me to Hawaii and Germany so they could take photos of me to cover up my horrible life. I would have graduated in 3 years from Eastern Washington University without those terrorists attacking and raping my life and covering it up, went back to framing homes right around when Tim started his business and writing my book, The Only Reason I Went To Eastern Washington University from the start, which would have helped my mental health by getting all the ideas in my head out coherently and in a constructive manner, 30k in debt which is a normal persons car I could have paid off by 30 years old and it would not have depressed me so much to not have a degree and 60k in debt, I would have had friends, a wife and children, a career, and developed the idea of Advent Guard.
