Personal Narrative: The NJ Transit

203 Words1 Page

Everything is so convenient in Philadelphia. The high school I went to was just an eight-minute walk. There was a convenience store across the street from my house and literally one on every block. If the walk was too long, one could drive their car or ride on Septa. Septa would drive anyone anywhere they want just for $2.25 a ride. If one was not fond of public transportation, they could easily call a taxi. There is limited parking in Center City, all the parking cost, and just trying to find parking is a pain. Even outside of my house after 4 pm I would be required to park the car a couple blocks away from my house. To correlate, in Millville everything is too distant to walk. The NJ Transit can cost anywhere from $2 to $10 if not at a higher

    After the trolley, Jackson points out that automobiles, along with better roads, and abundant fuel, gave many city dwellers better access to suburban areas. “The automobile made it infinitely easier to commute in directions perpendicular to the trolley tracks.” In short, cities began to “come apart” from the center because of the better transportation automobiles offered.

    Large cities that promote “green” transportation do not improve the lives of their dwellers. In “The Walkability Dividend” Jeff Speck presents his views of beneficial effects caused by alternative transportation in cities. He argues that cities can benefit better from investments in sidewalks and public transportation rather than building better roads and highways for automobiles. Speck says that suburbs are not beneficial for the economy and decrease the quality of life for individuals. His argument for more compact, integrated cities and smaller freeways is exactly why people are moving to suburbs in what is popularly called “Urban Sprawl.”

    My girlfriend works in a clinic in Atlantic City that provides health care and social services to people with no insurance or have limited means of support. There are more places in Atlantic City that provide free health care, food, shelter, addiction and social services than anywhere within a days ride of the city. People drift down here from all over of the state, even outside of New Jersey, for a cot and a meal. After its decline in the 1950s, the city has attracted alcoholics, people with mental health issues, and those just down on their luck. Maybe it was the ocean and faded glamor of the city 's boardwalk and hotels, or the abundance of cheap housing and corner taprooms.
