transportation and poverty
Nowadays, it seems I have pretty nothing to do… Hmm, It might be true actually, but still the schedule is pretty busy, with a lot of lazy time. I am going to concentrate on job searching again. Today I applied for a few companies, and in one of the posting I can see the number of candidates applied with me. 17!! Yes, I think, definitely I have no chance to get the job (as far as all others are american with american experience). For some time I decided to switch to volunteering activities, and I have already participated at two events of sorting and packing can for poor people. I was amazed, knowing that next time we will deliver the pockets with cans to parking lot in the peoples’ cars! CARS! Might be, it sounds routinely for american ear, but in my home country I did not travel with car, because I did not afford fuel. That is funny, here I am same poor (even much below than just poor), but I travel with car… Otherwise, how to travel here?
Interesting, it seems that launching public transportation in Starkville is not profitable, but it is profitable in the New York City… What is the rating of size of a city which makes public transportation profitable? And how they would realize that it is time to launch? Thinking that public transportation in Russia is everywhere, I get the same question, is it profitable there? or in some areas the government faces losses?
