Written and Unwritten Rules on the CUE Bus
I have been riding the CUE bus regularly for a period of about two years now, and through that time have learned a lot about what goes on on the bus. The thing that has stood out to me the most is the many written and unwritten rules that govern behavior for both passengers and bus drivers. There are certain things one needs to do to be a "successful" passenger, and I have learned many of them along the way through experience and observation, without even really noticing it. For the past two months I have consciously observed people and how they relate to these rules, and the patterns have become even more clear to me.
Rules for Bus Drivers
One main thing that one needs to do be a successful passenger is to understand the rules that govern how the bus drivers behave, because this will effect the choices that you make. The bus drivers have a lot of rules they have to follow that are given to them by the management. For instance, they are supposed to do everything in their power to arrive at each bus stop at the posted time on the schedule. They are also supposed to only pick up passengers or let them off at designated CUE bus stops. The bus drivers must constantly balance these rules with another, unwritten rule - that they should be friendly and considerate to the people who are riding the bus. Sometimes these two principles come into conflict, and that's when things really get interesting. Some examples of times when they come into conflict are the following:
The Bus Driver is Ahead of Schedule
It is bad for the bus driver to arrive at a bus stop late, but it is even worse for him to arrive there early, because then people who have not gotten there yet may miss the bus. I have seen bus drivers stop at Rite Aid pharmacy (on the intersection of Lee Highway and Chainbridge road) and at George Mason and sit for several minutes because they were ahead of schedule. This creates an awkward situation for the people riding on the bus, who are now just sitting stopped for no apparent reason. The longer the bus sits, the more awkward it feels. Although nobody has ever complained about it out loud, there is an unspoken pressure.
Is the Loop Bus as beneficial to students as it should be? The SGA Loop Bus is a service provided to Duquesne University students by the Student Government Association. It is a three fleet bus system that provides transportation from Duquesne University to Southside, Oakland, and Waterfront that is operated on Friday and Saturday during the academic school year. It is the subject of one of the major gripes with Duquesne University and is not quite what it is cracked up to be. There are many consequences due to the inconsistencies of the Loop Bus making it not only irritable to wait for but places you in danger.
Every school bus has a hierarchy, a caste system. The cool crowd the kids who smoke, come to class with hickies, and get into enough trouble to be the secret envy of the honor roll students occupies the back rows. The cheerleaders and star athletes take the middle seats. The serious students sit near the front. The nerds and the outcasts never know where they'll end up. If they're lucky, they can find an empty seat directly behind or to the right of the driver. (8)

A small archipelago off the northwest coast of Britsh Columbia is known as the “islands of the people.” This island is diverse in both land and sea environment. From the 1700’s when the first ship sailed off its coast and a captain logged about the existence, slow attentiveness was given to the island. Its abundance, in both natural resources physical environment, and its allure in the concealed Haida peoples, beckoned settlers to come to the island. Settlers would spark an era of prosperity and catastrophe for the native and environmental populations.
So everyone in the world wonders why people have rules, but there are many reasons that we have rules and you need to know the know the importances of rules. Some people in the world already have rules and a book called Bud Not Buddy can tell you how how you can use certain rules can help you thrive. So Bud not Buddy is a book written by Christopher Paul Curtis, and Bud the main character has lots of rules he lives by, some helps him others get him stung but there are
...here they need to go. This makes kids late, the times ranging from forty five minutes to two hours, if the bus comes at all. All of these are major concerns, the interference with summer plans, the length of our summer, and the conditions of the roads, are significant concerns.
Whenever we move to a new house, we would be excited to decorate our home. Energetic people may want to furnish their room with warm colors, such as red, orange, or brown. Rational people may to furnish their room with cool colors, such as blue, purple, or green. Not just the room color, our displays can also portray our personality. The article, “A Room With a Cue: Personality Judgments Based on Offices and Bedrooms”, proposes four mechanisms that link individuals to the environments they live in. They are self-directed identity claims, other-directed identity claims, internal behavioral residue, and external behavioral residue.
After getting off the bus people will be assigned clothes and other papers will be filled out for people’s classes, yes classes. They teach people some aspects of what people might be doing. Also

Education is a very important factor in a person’s life and there is different parts of education whether that may be primary, secondary or further education like college or university. These skills and knowledge that is taught develop us into the person we become later in life. Learning just doesn’t stop after school or further education, each individual develops and continues to learn through life for example jobs and new experiences. Therefore, education is an important social determinant of health which can affect not only individuals but families and communities too as well as having a large impact on our physical and mental
Proper bus etiquette is essential for the comfort of all passengers. When I first boarded the bus, the people on it were modelling near perfect behavior – head down, headphones in, eyes closed, staring out the window, focused on a book or activity in their lap. There were practically no conversations, and the few that were taking place consisted of a few hushed whispers between those travelling together. These mannerisms are never taught in school or explicitly stated, yet every transit user is aware of them, and follows them as such. The way that people are expected to behave on a bus, or train, or in line at the grocery store is indicative of our culture and the social values within it. When in public, it goes without saying that one must mind their own business and limit behaviors disruptive to others. The question now becomes; what effect does breaking or violating these unspoken rules have on the
In today’s society, technology has become more advanced than the human’s mind. Companies want to make sure that their information systems stay up-to-date with the rapidly growing technology. It is very important to senior-level executives and board of directions of companies that their systems can produce the right and best information for their company to result in a greater outcome and new organizational capabilities. Big data and data analytics are one of those important factors that contribute to a successful company and their updated software and information systems.
When most people think about an eventful or memorable place, they almost certainly would not picture a bus. As we all know, buses are not exactly attractive. The design scheme is the same in almost every bus: rows and rows of brown seats, a thin black aisle down the middle of the bus, hundreds of hazy windows, and the big, lemon-yellow exterior. Not many people, I am sure, would consider buses to be an important part of their lives. However, if a person were to think about it, they would realize that they probably have had at least one memorable experience in their life that took place on a bus.
argue that the bus is going too fast, but we do not necessarily want to make this
Big data originated with web search companies that encountered problems with querying large amounts of both structured and unstructured data. With regard to its background, “big data came into being when web search companies developed ways to perform distributed computing on large data sets on computer clusters” Floyer (2014: 1). Big data then spread to enterprises due to their adoption of developing, processing and dissemination of data.
