transportation
TransportationByReyna Zorrila, Atia Qazalbash and Eva Murillo
The city council has received a large grant from the federal government in order to improve transportation in the city. The city council has received two proposals. One proposal is to spend the money on upgrading the present subway and bus system. The other proposal is to create more subway lines and bus routes. There are enough funds for only one of these proposals, so the council must make a decision.The first option is to spend the money on upgrading the present subway and bus system. Why?1- In some subway we can find that trains are running so slow and they are in bad conditions.2- In subways there is a cleanliness issue. It is very dirty and smelly because people don’t care about where they throw their garbage so that causes mice.3- There should be a good system for securities for example there should be one or two police officers in each station or should be fix cameras. Also there should put some signs that are necessary for people who are ignorant of some ways.

MTA should make people more comfortable.2- Time is very important for everybody so by saving time they can make subways near houses. It can help people to save money instead taking taxi or waiting for buses. There should be direct trains to airports such as JFK, LA GUARDIA and NEWARK airport.3- When MTA start to make more lines, it can help people who are jobless. MTA might have subways
jobs.
