Singapore also relieved density by adding a variety of green boundaries around neighborhoods. With compact development, it becomes possible to achieve sustainability on a national level because it allows neighborhoods and employment centers concentration of population and employment, create a mix of uses, and encourage pedestrian-, bicycle-, and transit-friendly design. Moreover, this kind of development improves physical and social activities and prioritizes public spaces. * Singapore’s New Towns supported by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system This plan constituted of construction of high-density housing estates called as New Town, which are connected by a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system linking them to the central business district and the industrial estates.

...www.vtpi.org Info@vtpi.org 250-360-1560 Transit Price Elasticities and Cross-Elasticities 25 May 2012 Todd Litman Victoria Transport Policy Institute Abstract This paper summarizes price elasticities and cross elasticities for use in public transit planning. It describes how elasticities are used, and summarizes previous research on transit elasticities. Commonly used transit elasticity values are largely based on studies of short- and medium-run impacts performed decades ago when real incomes where lower and a larger portion of the population was transit dependent. As a result, they tend to be lower than appropriate to model long-run impacts. Analysis based on these elasticity values tends to understate the potential of transit fare reductions and service improvements to reduce problems such as traffic congestion and vehicle pollution, and understate the long-term negative impacts that fare increases and service cuts will have on transit ridership, transit revenue, traffic congestion and pollution emissions. Originally published as “Transit Price Elasticities and Cross-Elasticities,” Journal of Public Transportation, Vol. 7, No. 2, (www.nctr.usf.edu/jpt/pdf/JPT 7-2 Litman.pdf), 2004, pp. 37-58.

...service is called Stageline and runs regular routes throughout the city of Clovis proper and into some portions of the neighboring town, Fresno. The paratransit service is called RoundUp and provides service to disabled residents of the city. Clovis Transit is considered a mid-sized transit agency and provides approximately 300,000 trips per year. The city brands itself in the western motif with the goal of maintaining a small-town feel and personality while still serving a population of just short of 100,000 citizens. Passengers who use Clovis Transit fall into three main categories: low income, student, and disabled riders. These riders are considered “transit dependent” which means they have no other choice for transportation beyond the bus and therefore marketing has remained a low priority. The City of Clovis maintains a website that provides access to all its departments including Transit. The Transit department’s website currently contains basic information about the services offered and various forms and documents that can be downloaded by the user. Because the department serves two distinct customer groups, regular fixed-route transit riders and disabled citizens, there is an opportunity to improve the website to and provide the information, products, and access each group needs. Clovis Transit also has a Twitter account but it is not promoted nor used regularly to communicate with followers. Transit riders frequently express their desire for increased communication about...

...University of Melbourne's management and marketing faculty describes Jobs as “one of the greatest business strategists of all times”. “There are a lot of people out there claiming to be futurists,” Dr Coker said. “Most of them are keynote speakers or public speakers - it is rare to have a futurist that demonstrated his ability to almost predict the future in a real live business setting.” But Jobs's rise to the top was hardly textbook perfect. A university dropout, he worked at Atari and travelled through India before seeing a commercial opportunity in the computer (the original Apple I) Wozniak had built to impress some friends. They started the company with an investment of $US1300 of their own money, making it into the Fortune 500 list by 1983. That year Jobs recruited former Pepsi executive John Sculley to take the chief executive position, only to be stripped of all his power by him in 1985. According to author Steven Levy, this was prompted by the Macintosh computer not selling as well as expected, as well as Jobs's demanding management style. As Harry McCracken writes in Time...

...------------------------------------------------- Human Resource Strategy Analyzing Google and Protiviti May 18, 2015 Dr. Woodard Bus 508 May 18, 2015 Dr. Woodard Bus 508 When looking at two countries on the Fortune 100 list I choose the number one company and the number 100 company. Those two companies are Google and Protiviti, Inc. Both companies are doing very well and have similarities and differences. Upon dissecting the two companies and figuring out why they belong on the Fortune 100 list, I found the following. The number one best company to work for in the world is Google. Google offers a great deal of products and services that are very useful. Google has over 50 different products listed on their website. The products are categorized by web products, mobile products, business products, media, Geo, specialized search, home & office, social, and innovation. A lot of their products can be used on mobile devices by downloading them as applications. Some of the applications that are very popular that Google created is Google Maps, Gmail, Drive, Google Wallet, Google Translate, Calendar, and many others. One application that is really cool is Google Wallet. It is basically like a prepaid credit card that is monitored by Google’s bank. You are able to make purchases as if it was a regular card. You can send and receive money. This is a very helpful application/service especially for parents that are giving allowances to their kids, college student’s receiving...

...ABSTRACT Bus service is the main mode of transportation in Chennai. By this service, public are able to travel to anywhere and any places in Chennai. This leads to increase in bus routes which cause confusion to bus users. Although, at present, many routing information systems have been implemented but none of them provide the passenger travel information that they require. As a consequence of the shortages of such significant information, the current bus information services cannot fulfil users need. Current bus information services are based on GPS and operated in licensed frequency band which requires a high implementation and operation cost, these systems are used to provide travel-time approximation only. This paper proposes a system, Real Time Empirical System of Bus Service that can provide valuable information not only bus routes, also provides information of buses based on destination to the passengers. This system is aimed to reduce the operative cost of the existing system. The implementation of Real Time Empirical System of Bus Service involves use of Zigbee and RFID communication technology. This system is operated in 2.4GHz which is ISM band and no external network backbone is required for transmission and reception. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER N o.

...Waste Land" by Alan Paton Describe a surprising ending and analyse how it links to the rest of the text. “The Waste Land” by Alan Paton, is about a man who is on a bus. When he gets off the bus, he is attacked by several young men and it is suggested that the men want his purse which contained his wages. This short story has a surprising ending and it helps the reader understand other parts of the text that foreshadowed the ending. “The Waste Land” is very surprising as it ends with the man’s son having been killed in the incident. The short story ends with the narrator realizing that one of the men that have just attacked him was in fact his very own son and that he has just killed his son. When the gang dumps Freddy’s body under the lorry, where the man is, the man moved away from the body as if not wanting to accept his son’s death. The narrator displays the father’s shock and mental agony. This ending is linked to the title as “The Waste Land” suggests that the setting is very desolate, people are desperate and that the people will do anything to help themselves in their time of need even betray their own family. This is shown when the man says “People, arise! The world is dead.” This illustrates how the defender thinks that the world is corrupt. The attackers having waited for him by the bus stop shows that they knew that he would be there thus supports his son having a part in the gang. The ending is foreshadowed by the gang waiting for him to arrive, which shows...

MMI leveraged its relationship with the Canadian entertainment industry to incorporate its clients’ brands into films and TV shows. Greyhound, the country’s largest provider of intercity bus transportation, recruited MMI services to provide cost-effective ways to communicate its marketing message to consumers. Philip Hart, president of MMI, was preparing to make a final pitch to sign up Greyhound as client. For Greyhound, the major competitors include VIA Rail, owned automobile, and airline transportation companies. The consumer segmentation can be divided into three groups including college and university students, newer professionals and established professionals. The target market will be age 18 to 24 college and university young professionals. Philip Hart needs to decide which promotional vehicle would be best for Greyhound’s product placement. The alternative choices include to stick with traditional advertising, or product placement on TV series shows like “Corner Gas” or...
