Would you let your child get on a bus driven by someone on mind-altering drugs? What about having an operation conducted by a surgeon taking stimulant pills?

Down the centre of each of these parks run wide bus boulevards, protected cycling lanes and excellent walking paths.

and a tram to nearby Freiburg runs through the town. The Great City planned for Chengdu,

which would calculate how much walking we could add to our commute to achieve our daily step goal#maybe nudging us to get off the bus a stop early.

and water heaters sprouting from government buildings hospitals police stations bus shelters as well as thousands of gaily colored private homes throughout the Caribbean island.

But enough romanticizing urban bus commutes. In reality buses are slow (the slowest bus lines in New york city average 3. 4 miles per hour),

Though fuel economy varies depending on the type of bus and the route, an average bus in D c gets a paltry 3. 76 miles per gallon (mpg),

and that up from 2. 96 mpg in 2005! Considering that D c. buses cumulatively travel nearly 50 million miles each year,

cleaning up bus fleets is a critical way to reduce the burden of air pollution, fuel costs,

Benefits of commuting on electricity Though electric buses are not newhe first was introduced in Berlin in 1882lder models frequently required wires to hang over each bus route, marking bus paths through city streets.

I remember hearing loud pops as sparks flew from an intersection of overhead electric bus wires near my bedroom.

The expected operating cost-per-mile of an electric bus in New york is $0. 20 to $0. 30 cents,

or natural-gas powered bus. Electric buses are also nearly silent, require less maintenance, and can improve air quality through reducing emissions compared to their all-diesel counterparts.

No wonder why companies like Volvo and BYD are beginning to take advantage of the many reasons why cities are shifting bus fleets to rely on electricity instead of diesel.

state and federal policies are helping the transition to cleaner bus fleets. The U s Department of transportation recently announced the availability of $24. 9 million to put more zero emission buses into service across America,

and the Federal Transit Administration has provided $13. 6 million for eight projects to advance the commercialization of American-made fuel cell buses. These incentives are important for helping further develop electric bus technology by reducing the upfront costs that remain a barrier

of which may partner with bus manufacturers on proposals, on a competitive basis. FTA officials said its Low

A previous example of this was the National Fuel cell Bus Program, which invested in the research, development and testing of alternative fuels and related equipment,

The zero emissions all-electric buses replace diesel-powered trolleys the highest polluting TARC vehicles. erobus changes the game for public transportation in downtown

In fuel costs alone each electric bus will save TARC an estimated $10000 per year. Main-Market Zerobuses circle between 10th and Campbell streets.

Even during America recent urban renaissance streetcars, apartment buildings and farmers markets, oh my! the centrifugal force in job growth has reversed not.

With the Utah system a bus could charge from coils placed under the road surface where passengers load or at traffic lights.

This panel will be suspended by 6-mile-long wires connected to a small bus which will house the satellite controls and communication systems.

Using a technique called gravity gradient stabilization, the bus acts as a counterweight to the huge panel.

while the bus will be tugged upward by the opposite effects. This balancing of forces will keep the satellite in a stable orbit,

#Poop-powered airport shuttle bus hits the road in the U k. A supermarket powered by its own expired comestibles.

Try a poop-powered airport shuttle bus. The first of its kind in the United kingdom Bio-Bus is a 40-seat transit vehicle that runs entirely on fuel generated through anaerobic digestion.

That is the conversion of waste n this case both locally sourced food waste and human sewage nto a methane-rich biogas.

if Bio-Bus serviced the number 2 route it runs along the 20-mile-long A4 route

Bio-Bus can travel 186 miles on a full tank of biomethane (or biomethane as they might say across the pond) gas which requires the annual waste of five people to produce according to the operator of the Bristol sewage treatment works GENECO.

A single person annual waste both edible and flushable would fuel the bus for 37 miles.

and food that unfit for human consumption wee able to produce enough biomethane to provide a significant supply of gas to the national gas network that capable of powering almost 8500 homes as well as fuelling the Bio-Bus. Gas-powered vehicles

but the Bio-Bus goes further than that and is powered actually by people living in the local area including quite possibly those on the bus itself.

Roughly 75 million cubic meters of sewage and 35000 metric tons of food waste collected from households along with local grocery stores and food manufacturers is treated annually at Bristol sewage treatment works located in the suburb of Avonmouth.

Bio-Bus which boasts CO2 EMISSIONS that are 30 percent less than buses with conventional diesel engines couldn hit the road at a better time.

which he traveled by bus to Huizhou in China's Guangdong province. Alerted by the Korean government that the man had been in close contact with a MERS patient,

called a bus . When two cores need to communicate, theye granted exclusive access to the bus. But that approach won work as the core count mounts:

Cores will spend all their time waiting for the bus to free up, rather than performing computations.

In a network-on-chip, each core is connected only to those immediately adjacent to it. ou can reach your neighbors really quickly,

One advantage of a bus, however, is that it makes it easier to maintain cache coherence.

If all the cores share a bus, then when one of them receives a data request,

. But it will hold it until it passed along 1. This hierarchical ordering simulates the chronological ordering of requests sent over a bus,

The elderly obese man had drugs in his system as he stepped in front of the bus that squished him running away from his angry wife with that machete.

and utilized an electrical bus to clean up the mess of communication lines we had in Revision 1. A detailed description is given in the next section.

he said. ecause they have a DC bus in their genset, you could connect PV arrays and batteries on the DC bus. That, in turn,

ould allow you to eliminate all those inverters, and just use the inverter that comes with the Innovus generator,

Hoffman noted that this capability to link multiple DC generation sources into a single Innovus DC bus could lend an additional level of simplification to microgrid operators seeking the flexibility to grow with the times.

#Huge spike in bus riders because of Wi-fi? Everyone is taking the curbside bus . Or at least 30%more of us are.

As you can see from the results of this recent study out of Depaul University:

1. The intercity bus was the sole major long-distance passenger transportation mode that grew appreciably in 2011.

Daily bus operations expanded by 7. 1, %a marked increase in the annual growth from previous years. 2. urbside operators, led by Boltbus

Some say that it new Wi-fi enabled busses that is luring people to leave cars behind

Others say it just that with cheaper busses and more intercity routes people are taking more trips, period.

is that the rock-bottom priced Chinatown express busses were never part of the Depaul study. What has contributed possibly to the spike in bus riders are new brands that have popped up that mimic the cheap and easy Chinatown busses.

Offering rates like New york to DC for $20 makes such busses highly attractive. So Megabus

Bolt Bus and Limoliner have jumped into the market offering cheap routes, Wi-fi, higher safety standards,

and an added bonus of fewer live chickens. Apparently they have succeeded in taking market share from the Chinatown busses.

So an interesting theory behind the rise is that there is no rise at all. Just a movement in the service, that went unrecognized by the study.

In other words, the Depaul data is consistent with total bus ridership actually staying constant, with the recognized curbside buses simply taking ridership share from unrecognized Chinatown operators.

In reality, I suspect that bus ridership is growing. Just not nearly as fast as the Depaul paper would have you believe.

track school busses and use cases we probably haven even imagined. These sensors will add information to an ever-growing network of connected devices producing mountains of data.

So she commuted on the bus to Lone Mountain College, a small Catholic school that has closed

In Paris, the Mobile Experience Lab worked with the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens to create a bus stop designed not just to help people use the bus system itself

Simultaneously, all power related output values are also available over the 2-Wire digital bus,

#The PAC1921, available in a 10-lead 3x3 mm VDFN package, was designed with the 2-Wire bus to maximize data and diagnostic reporting,

and find only the ones containing a Volkswagen bus with a flat tire, or seven oranges in a bowl.

Apps that tell commuters when the next bus passes by, or where there's someone driving who can give you a lift

A City College of New york study of the New york city system found a two per cent increase in bus ridership through 2013

He says the incremental costs are tiny for new bus fleets but these features could attract 20 to 40 per cent of people who would otherwise drive.

"he adds that interesting new things are happening all over the place, from driverless trolleys and subway trains in Copenhagen, Vancouver and elsewhere,
