E90 Update – Trip to the Bus Yard

Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2

For my E90 senior engineering design project, I will be working on pollution reduction at the local school bus yard.  I enjoyed my first visit to the bus yard, and it was great to learn about some of the particulate filtration systems already in use.

Singing Bus Drivers

Los Angeles MTA Metro Local Bus

Los Angeles MTA Metro Local Bus

A few weeks ago, I moved up to Los Angeles to start work on greenRELAY, my Lang Opportunity Scholarship project.  On my rainy commute last week, my bus driver was singing “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring” incessantly.  It was amusing, but nowhere near as good as the New York MTA’s Christopher Dolan.

Trip to New York

Manhattan

I went to New York over the weekend.  I traveled between Boston’s South Station and New York’s Chinatown on Lucky Star, my bus line of choice.  The trip down was easy, and I met my friend Joe for dinner in Little Italy.  We then met some friends of mine from Swarthmore for a movie in SoHo before going out to Roosevelt Island for the night.  Saturday morning, Joe and I explored Roosevelt Island before wandering out to Flushing Meadows/Corona Park.  I spent the rest of my time in Central Park before heading back up to Boston.  It was a very enjoyable trip.  Travel went well (some of my easiest bus trips yet – not having the extra leg to Philly makes all the difference) and I got to take the A, E, F, and 7 trains.  Some pictures of the trip are here.
