Should Americans be Forced to Public Transportation?

By Jack Davis

First , let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

What does writer suggest?

Americans should learn to use public transportations

Americans should give up their car

       The issue started when a non-governmental organization discovered that a number of people living near the bay in South Minahasa district, North Sulawesi province, were suffering from skin diseases.
       Blood tests showed that some had high levels of mercury in their blood.
       Public opinion then turned against the subsidiary of U.S based Newmont Minahasa Corp. PT Newmont Minahasa Raya, accusing it of causing the pollution by dumping its tailings in the bay.

Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviors, and social habits. These give people a sense of who they are, how they should behave, and what they should or should not do. These 'rules' reflect the 'culture' of a country.

In some countries, on the other hand, people often do not have strict rules like this - people eat when they want to and every family has its own time table.

NLF Malaysia: The Malaysian police have notified the Singaporean police that a suspected murderer, Tan Chor Jin, who fled to Kuala Lumpur after shooting and killing Mr. Lim Hock Soon, has been arrested.

The 39-year-old suspect, who is blind in one eye, has been dubbed the “One-eyed dragon”. It was alleged that Tan entered Mr. Lim’s apartment at Serangoon Avenue on February 15 at 7:00 a.m. when the maid opened the door to send the victim’s daughter to school. Tan forced the maid and the daughter back into their apartment. Tan then shot Mr. Lim. Tan was said to have taken some valuables before he left the house. The wife then called the police. By the time the paramedics arrived, Mr. Lim was already dead. Some neighbors said they saw someone walking calmly along the corridor, shortly after the shooting.

Hundreds of police officers immediately surrounded the crime scene, and the police dogs were called in to search the entire apartment, unit by unit, looking for the suspect killer without any success. Within hours, the suspect’s features and identity were established. The police suspected the killer might have fled to another country. They immediately contacted Interpol for help to nab the alleged murderer.

According to a reliable source, the suspect who is also a Triad member had business transactions with the victim for many years. It was alleged that the victim had cheated Tan, and that Tan might have killed him cold-bloodedly because of this.

Tan was with his wife and three other people in a room on the 13^th floor of the five-star Grand Plaza Park Royal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur when the Malaysian police stormed into the room. All the suspects were quickly arrested without any resistance.

The Singaporean police have requested their Malaysian counterpart of Tan to be extradited to Singapore to stand trial for the murder charge. According to the spokesman, Malaysia has accepted the request and is now preparing documents for Tan’s extradition to Singapore. If the suspect is found guilty of murder, the penalty will be death or life imprisonment plus canings.

JAKARTA: Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car and a truck on Dipenogoro street at 10:35 p.m. last night. The dead were all the passengers of the car. The police believed the car had been trying to overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the car might not be using his lights, as the truck driver said he did not see the car approaching.

The police said the car should not have tried to pass the bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Dipenogoro street. In addition, the police report that the car, a small Japanese car, should not have been carrying more than five people. If the passengers had brought their identity cards, the police would have identified the names of the victim easily.

Floods hit the McKenzie County

McKenzie: Yesterday afternoon flash floods created havoc in McKenzie County, falling trees, snarling traffic and affecting business. The worst hit areas, according to the police, were Lonsdale Road, Victoria Drive and upper Linken Street.

“The water levels at these roads were as high as 6 meters,” said the Public Utility Authority (PUA). A combination of heavy rain and bad timing caused the floods. The tides were exceptionally high between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Traffic slowed to a crawl, leaving driver and commuters stuck.

In the Lonsdale area, the sudden rise in the water caught businessmen on Owen Road and Pinedale Road off-guard. Mr. Max, who was a shop an Owen Road, told us that the water had ruined all of his merchandise. Miss Ving, a hairdresser, reported that some of her equipment and chemicals were damaged. She also had to walk barefoot as her whole shop was flooded.

“We’ve had floods before, but this is the worst,” Miss Ving said.

The PUA advises residents and shopkeepers in flood prone areas to protect their belongings. Drivers are also advised to be cautious when traveling along low-lying roads which are prone to flash floods.

Tornado Wreaks Havoc in Semarang

Residents assess the damage after a tornado damages 150 houses in the district of Tembalag in Semarang, Central Java late on Saturday afternoon.

Three people were injured and at least five of the houses in the Sendangguwo and Tandang neighborhoods were destroyed, while many others were seriously damaged as the tornado ripped off their roofs. Thoirin aka Jayeng, 40, a resident whose house was leveled at the Sendang Asri housing complex, said the winds hit about 4 p.m.

“I saw this black wind coming and becoming pointed into a funnel. It suddenly approached and hit my house,” he said.

Tohirin’s wife, two children and mother-in law were in the kitchen at the time when the tornado known locally as “Ulur-ulur” passed over their home, destroying the guest and bedrooms.

“It was as if the wind had lifted my home up,” Thoirin said.

The disaster also destroyed the walls of four neighboring houses.

Many other homes in the area lost their roofs and residents and neighbors had started rebuilding on Sunday.

Tembalang district head Dayat said the tornado also damaged a small mosque and felled power lines and about 50 trees. His office was still collecting data on the damage, he said.
