Philadelphia bus station 1001 filbert st
Are these places safe to go using public transport ?
2023.03.23 22:56 FlatwormDull Are these places safe to go using public transport ?
Hey there guys, I’m 19, male, and going to visit LA in may. I’m staying at the Hi Los Angeles hostel, in Santa Monica (1436 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90401). I will visit Hollywood, universal studios, Westfield Century City mall, the grove, the Griffith observatory and probably the art museum. I’ll use public transportation to visit them all, and as I’m traveling alone I want to know if it’s safe enough to go to this places using the public transportation (bus and metro). Also wanna know how safe the streets are, because I’ll need to walk from one station to another and from the stations to the places I wanna visit. I’ll visit Disneyland too but I’ll use Uber or Lyft. Can you guys help me with that ?

2023.03.23 21:15 Cute_Business7342 Entering Russia from Europe overland
Hello everyone,
I am an EU citizen and I want to enter Russia overland from the EU, going to Moscow for tourism purposes. Now I seem to have 2 Options to enter Russia overland, which are
#1 to take the bus from Riga (Latvia) to Moscow or
#2 cross the border at Narwa (Estonia) by foot and then take a train or bus from Iwangorod to St. Petersburg and then another train to Moscow.
I would prefer Option #1 because it's closer to where I am from and going via St. Petersburg would be quite a detour for me. However, I have read the bus (Ecolines) from Riga to Moscow only stops 2 hours at the border checkpoints and I am concerned that waiting and going through an "interview" by border guards might take much longer than that and the bus will leave without me. Also at that border crossing (Burachki) there seems to be no train station nearby and I am not sure I could even board another bus there, so I would be kinda stranded if that happened.
Has anyone got experiences with the border crossings mentioned above and can maybe share their experience?

2023.03.23 02:08 Realistic-Panda7747 Itinerary Check: 11 Days in Tokyo with Family, Slow-ish Pace (3/31 - 4/10)
Hello! 37F traveling with a few friends and my tween. Did my best to make an easy going itinerary but I am lowkey anxious about eating out. I have a fish allergy and one person does not eat pork. We do plan to carry allergy cards since no one speaks/read Japanese beyond a few phrases.
Hoping to get one night of clear skies for an awesome sunset view #fingerscrossed. Would love to get feedback on my plan as well as food suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!
Note: Left off most shrines/temples/statues for simplicity. Fri, Mar 31 - Afternoon Arrival - Limosine bus to Shinjuku hotel
- Explore Shinjuku station and grab dinner
Sat, Apr 1 - Shinjuku - Yoyogi Park and/or Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
- Where ever my little heart desires to go
Sun, Apr 2 - Imperial Palace Area & Ginza - Kitanomaru Park and Imperial Palace East Gardens

- Food places??
Thurs, Apr 6 - Ueno & Akihabara - Ueno Park + museums -> Ameyoko St -> Akihabara
- Food places?? Maid Dreaming?
Note: The original plan was to do Ueno Park on the same day as Asakusa, and Akihabara on the same day as Imperial Palace/Ginza. Felt as though it was a stretch plus I wasn't able to get Ghibli tickets so that freed up a day! Fri, Apr 7 - Akasaka & Roppongi Hills - Transfer to hotel in Akasaka
- Harry Potter Cafe and stores
- Roppongi Hills Mori Tower: Tokyo City View reservation (5p)

2023.03.22 21:27 CaliforniaBlueJay420 On Monday 3/20/23, the Naperville School District 203 Board of Education voted to approve a $1.36 million contract with Lion Electric for 4 electric school buses as part of their transportation budget for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. (Not part of EPA program - standalone purchase)
Article by the Chicago Tribune on 3/21/2023:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-naperville-d203-buying-electric-buses-st-0322-20230321-xm5lvmyrebgchayqxhkyh7n26q-story.html Article by Naperville Community Television on 3/21/2023:
https://www.nctv17.org/nctv17-news-update/d203-buying-electric-buses-hoppy-easter-naperville-on-best-in-america-lists/ Summary of 3/21 news: Naperville, IL - 4 electric school buses will be added to Naperville School District 203’s fleet in the upcoming 2023-2024 school year as an anticipated pilot program gets underway.
The board of education on Monday (March 20, 2023) approved District 203’s transportation fund for the upcoming school year, which totals $3.09 million. The spending package includes a
$1.36 million contract with Lion Electric for 4 electric buses and an additional $830,000 allotment for the installation of charging stations and related infrastructure.
Administrators say the "pilot EV program" will serve as an important gauge in determining the frequency of additional purchases in the road ahead. The purchase of the four standard size, 71-passenger electric buses from Lion Electric aligns with Naperville 203’s strategic blueprint initiative to reduce the district’s carbon footprint. Earlier this year, Naperville 203 purchased four electric cars for its Driver’s Education program.
Key insight: What should interest LEV shareholders is this order was
not with a voucher through the $5B EPA clean school bus program. Naperville is not on the list of EPA voucher awards. This was a standalone purchase! The local district made the decision as part of their budget process.
Strong sign of Lion's direct sales growth and the outlook ahead.

2023.03.22 16:59 ClassroomOk3457 Registration problem. Keep getting this error even thought I have confirmed with the registrar office that I have met all the prerequisites
2023.03.22 11:58 kiwi_sapphic I am 23 years old, make $67,000, live in Philly, work as a Project Coordinator, and this week I celebrated my birthday in Paris.
I did a money diary this exact week last year about signing the offer letter for the company I work at now. I ended up getting a 5K COL adjustment (62k > 67k) once I moved to Philly. I expressed in the previous journal that I was worried about my taxes since I moved states and work for an NYC company from PA. As many suggested in the comments, it ended up being pretty simple (I used FreeTaxUSA). SECTION ONE: ASSETS AND DEBT Retirement Balance - $31,400. A mix of Roth IRA, 401(k), and traditional brokerage.
Equity - N/A
Savings account balance - $11,600 in Emergency Funds; $7,500 in a HYSA that I saved up during college and will use to pay off my student loans when payments resume this summer. Because of this, I consider myself debt free.
Checking account balance - $900; I had a $600 sinking fund for my food/shopping/entertainment in Paris, but I got $300 in cash birthday gifts.
Credit card debt (and how you accumulated it) - $0; I pay my cards off regularly.
Student loan debt - $7,500 for a Political Science and Social Policy Degree with a minor in English. I got a full-tuition scholarship, but had small gaps in aid during my first two years because my school required underclassmen to have on-campus housing and a meal plan.
—
SECTION TWO: INCOME Income Progression: I’ve been at this job 9 months, make $67k, and it’s great. The people, the work, the benefits. It’s my first post-college, salaried position. I have pretty much no complaints about it and am
hoping to get a merit raise during our summer evaluations.
Main Job Monthly Take Home: $3,400 (paid semi-monthly)
$1200/mo in total taxes (fed, state, local, SSI/med); $1000/mo to 401(k); Employer pays 100% of health premiums.
No other income currently, no parental contributions, etc. — SECTION THREE: EXPENSES (my portions, I live with a roommate)
Rent -
$750/mo. Renewing in May; hoping it stays the same or doesn’t increase dramatically
Retirement/Investment contribution - $540/mo to Roth IRA
(401(k) contributions detailed in the Income section).
Savings contribution - $460/mo to sinking funds,
$200/mo to General Savings/Emergency Fund
Debt payments - None besides regular payments to my cards
Donations -
$80/mo to whatever feels right
Food - ~$500/mo ($300 groceries + <$200 dining out)
Electric -
$75/mo Wifi -
$65/mo Cellphone -
$300/yr (Mint Mobile)
Renter’s Insurance - $100/yr Subscriptions - $8/mo; $7 for Apple Music and $1 for iCloud Storage
Annual Subscriptions - $380/yr; $190 for Credit Card Annual Fees; $165 for ScentBird Subscription; $25 for Google Storage
Gym Membership - $10/mo; $50/yr for Annual Membership Fee
I started on a health journey last June (lost 50+ lbs!). Back then, I was in search of any kind of fitness that I would enjoy and actually go to. I ended up getting a
$190/mo membership (2 classes/wk) to a RUMBLE (HIIT Boxing) studio and went 2x a week from June - Nov. In December, I bought a flat-fee holiday package that made my classes cheaper ($19/cls vs $23/cls) and more flexible, so I froze my subscription and got a 30 class package.
In January, I started strength training 4x/wk at Planet Fitness and went down to 1x/week at RUMBLE. I love my current routine, but PF and RUMBLE are both a 35 min walk from my house, and I go to the gym early in the morning. So, I’m considering joining the closer (<10 min walk), but more expensive ($72/mo) gym soon.
I’m still slowly burning through the RUMBLE holiday package and plan to cancel my subscription. I’m hoping they do a summer sale so I can buy another class package. If not, I’ll just buy classes ad hoc after I run out.
No pet, car, or therapy expenses currently. — SECTION FOUR: MONEY/TRAVEL DIARY ACCOMMODATIONS The flight and accommodations for this flight were booked in September after getting an email from
Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) about $500 tickets to Paris the exact weekend of my birthday. I stayed in a Sonder that I also booked back in September for about $480. I bought a $30, 5 GB international eSIM from Airalo. I was able to post on social media, send iMessages, and check my bank accounts with no problems and no extra data needed.
Day 1 Today is payday and the beginning of my week off. I clear my credit cards, invest my Roth deposit, and go to the gym.
After the gym, I pick up last minute toiletries (
$45.35) and plane snacks (
$21.48). I end up on a wild goose chase looking for a Universal Adapter (
$34.39), so I get McDonald's (I wanted a Shamrock Shake) while I’m out (
$9.15 - this feels expensive for McDonald's?)
My mom gives me a call around 8pm and asks if I’ve checked my bank account. Today was payday, so I had, but not since early that morning. She gifted me
$200! After, I spend three hours retwisting my locs and go to bed around midnight.
Day 1 Spend - $108.37
Day 2 Today is Sims 4 Expansion Pack (and flight to Paris) day! I can’t install the game until 1PM ET.
Lame.I do one last check to ensure I have everything I need, transfer my Paris Sinking Fund (
$600) into my checking account, and then play the Sims to pass the time. At 4, I take the Regional Rail to the airport.
I breeze through TSA and read
Another Country by James Baldwin until boarding begins. Upon boarding, I’m stopped and informed that my carry-on is “too big.” They were clearly picking people at random to move their bags because as the woman walked down the jet bridge with my bag, she rolled it past a man who had the
exact same suitcase as me in another color.
Annoying.
They don’t give me a chance to take out my laptop and snacks, this is my first time traveling internationally, I triple checked the sizing requirements, so this stressed me out. I was terrified of my bag getting lost. I vent to my best friend about the bag situation; she helps me calm down. Once we’re airborne, I spend the next 6 hours rotating between reading, watching
Wakanda Forever, and listening to music.
Day 2 Spend - $0
Day 3 (my birthday!) We land in Dublin at 8am, and I activate my international eSIM. I see my older brother gifted me
$100 via Cash App. Even though it was just a quick layover, being in Ireland
on St. Patrick’s Day made me happy. The Irish were teeming with happiness and excitement. I board my second flight and land in Paris at 1pm, finally am reunited with my bag, and get to the section of town I’m staying in via train (
$12.18).
While I wait for a friend to arrive on the train from London, I try French McDonalds per the recommendation of my best friend (
$14.95 - seriously, why the hell is McDonalds so expensive?)
Friend arrives and we explore Paris! We then stop at a bakery, I grab a pain au chocolat (
$1.60) and slip into a bar nearby. My friend lets everyone know it’s my birthday, and they buy us lots of rounds of shots and drinks. My friend closes the tab for the couple of drinks we actually ordered, and we head to a club that’s having a St. Patrick’s Day party around the corner.
I later try to redeem my Starbucks birthday item, but the barista gently lets me know it’s not valid in France. However, he throws in a free refresher and my friend buys me a blueberry muffin. We head back to the hotel so I can freshen up and change into my birthday dress. We take a nap and head back out for the night on the train (
$8.96 RT for 2). We have dinner at a delicious restaurant, which my friend pays for.
Our last stop of the night is an Afro-Caribbean spot that has great music and friendly staff. I tell the bartender it’s my birthday and ask for a drink recommendation. He makes some spicy concoction in a gold bowl with peppers. It’s quite delicious but is strong and makes my nose run! The staff gifts me at least two more shots, and I decide to call it quits on alcohol for the night after that. We dance and laugh the night away with the friendly staff, and I pick up the tab before we leave (
$27.81).
Day 3 Spend - $65.50
Day 4 My friend has been teasing a surprise and finally reveals it’s Disneyland! I laugh and realize I hadn’t disclosed the rest of my itinerary — I have a Disneyland reservation for Monday (after my friends went home)! However, I booked a non-park hopper ticket for Walt Disney Studios, so I’m excited to be able to experience them both thanks to my friend!
We had a late, drunk night last night so we started the day a bit late. Grabbed a quick brunch (
$6.74) and head to Chessy via the train (
$19.68). We got Premier Access (skip the line/lightning lane) for a handful of rides (
$79.15), I bought some Stitch merch (
$21.39), and we got ice cream (
$5.35).
After a few hours at Disney, we head back to Paris to meet up with one of my friends from college who also lives in London. He’s a hyperextrovert and is ready to hit the town
immediately. We wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower, but missed the last bus and grabbed dinner nearby (
$89.96). My friend from high school started feeling a bit sick, so she went back to the hotel and my college buddy and I spend the night bar hopping, dancing, chatting, and eating until 3am (
$37.44).
Day 4 Spend - $259.71
Day 5 Both friends head back to London today but at different times. I start the day a bit late after saying goodbye to my high school friend.
My college friend and I grab breakfast at a nearby restaurant (
$41.18). After that, we head out to explore an area of the city near the train station so it’s easy for him to board the 5pm train. We grab some pastries and a baguette (
$11.66) and set out to explore. We saw the lock bridge, Arc de Triomphe, took goofy photos, visited the Notre Dame restoration exhibit, and danced alongside a drum parade.
On the walk back to my room, I check my email to see I missed the Eiffel Tower climbing tour I scheduled back in September. I go back to the room, let my phone charge, and pay a fee to reschedule the tour (
$10.70). I head out to see the Eiffel and other tourists sites via a Sundown Seine river cruise (
$8.99 for 4 bus tickets).
After a few hours, I’m beat and head back to the Sonder. I got a Poke Bowl from a French/Hawaiian/Sushi fusion place we passed by last night and some chicken wings (
$22.89). I spend the rest of the night relaxing.
Day 5 Spend - $95.42
Day 6 I
really want to sleep in, but the Climbing tour doesn’t allow cancellations within 24 hours and charge no-shows. I head out around 9:30 am. Despite being tired and annoyed, the tour was great. I have a lunch Steakhouse reservation at 2:30pm at Disney, so I’m sort of in a rush and happy the tour ends right on time at 12:30. I hop on the train (
$10.70 RT tickets) and make it to Disneyland at 1:30 pm.
With an hour before my reservation, I stop into a bunch of stores and buy merch (
$70.60). I make my way to The Steakhouse for lunch (
$37.44). I am
stuffed, so I walk a couple laps around Walt Disney Studios to get a lay of the land, take photos, and walk off lunch before indulging in some shows and rides.
A couple hours go by and I grab some dessert (
$4.28) and rent a portable charger (
$4.28). I wanted to ride Crush’s Coaster before my dinner reservation, but it had a crazy wait time and premier access sold out for the day, so I buy premier access for and ride Avenger’s Flight Force instead (
$12.84), return the portable charger, and head to dinner at Bistrot Chez Remy (
$58.83).
I stay until 9:30 pm for the light show, have snacks (
$9.63), then head back to the hotel to shower, pack, and sleep.
Day 6 Spend - $208.60
Day 7 I have a protein bar for breakfast, check out at 10am, and grab a final ticket (
$12.29) to the airport. I start to feel lightheaded and try to drink some water, but it doesn’t help much. So, I get McDonalds (
$8.91) before boarding my flight and feel a lot better. I grab a Kinder (
$1.72) from a nearby store because I’d never tried one.
Amazing! I am excited to get home and get back into my normal meal prep and exercise routine. I make it back to Philly at 7pm. I take a shower and go straight to bed.
Day 7 Spend - $22.71 — Week Total - $760.52 Food + Drink -
$406.74 Fun / Entertainment -
$194.68 (shopping, tour reschedule, premier lanes) Home + Health -
$34.39 (universal adapter) Clothes + Beauty -
$45.35 (last minute toiletries) Transport -
$72.80 Other -
$4.28 (portable charger rental) — Lastly, reflect on your diary! While I’d never spend close to this in a normal week, celebrating my birthday in a way I enjoy is very important to me. I’m excited to travel more in the future.
I feel like I spent too much money on individual transport tickets; I should’ve brought the booklet of 10. But $73 for a bunch of days is still pretty cheap. I had a sinking fund of $600 originally, but the cash gifts from my mom and brother increased it to $900.
Overall, Paris was cheaper than I expected. I was worried $600 wouldn’t be enough. I picked up the tab a lot of places since there wasn’t an easy way for us to split the bill in multiple currencies (USD, pounds, euros), and I’m trying to hit the minimum spend on a new credit card. Had I been more willing to figure out bill splitting, I probably could've stayed under $600.
Relatedly - this trip inspired me to revisit my goal of becoming fully fluent in Spanish. French-speakers were visibly irritated when I spoke English (which I wasn’t upset about and expected). I did practice some French (beyond the basics like bonjour and merci) with my sister before the trip, but it always came out sounding like Spanish. So, after the first day, I resorted to starting conversations in Spanish.
If they spoke Spanish, great! However, many were caught off guard and didn’t speak Spanish, so I would
then ask, in Spanish, if they spoke English, then converse in English — which made them noticeably nicer. Definitely gonna work on brushing up my Spanish and work towards fluency. I eventually want to learn French and ASL, too.

2023.03.21 19:48 Dr-Ellicott-Chatham Questions about VIA rail and Go train
Hi there, planning a trip in a few months and i'm wondering what the status of the trains in the area are. I'm from St Kitts, and last lived in the area about 12 years ago. I remember hearing they were planning to bring both VIA rail and the GO train to the area while I was still living there. Did this ever happen?
The VIA rail map shows the train going to Niagara Falls, but when I try to book the trip, it says there are no trips available.
The GO Train map shows the GO train going right to St Catharines, but I can't find timetables for
that either.
I'm coming from Ottawa. The way I did it 12 years ago was arriving by VIA at union station, then taking the go train to Burlington, and then the go bus from Burlington to St Catharines. That trip is 2h19m, not counting the initial train ride, and the drive by car from union station into town is only 1h30m, so I'm hoping there's just something more convenient that I'm overlooking that appeared in the past decade. I have horrible memories of getting stuck on the GO bus at the end for hours in traffic and would like to avoid that potentially happening again. Thanks for reading!

2023.03.21 12:32 Caramel_And_Waffle Getting from the airport to the CBD
I'm flying to Melbourne on Friday and don't know the best/easiest way to get from the airport to the CBD (I'm staying at the Oaks on William St near LaTrobe St). I've been told the SkyBus then a tram from Southern Cross station is an option. Can I use my credit card to pay for that or do I need a Myki Card? I'm tempted to just get a taxi or an Uber but I think that's much more expensive. Appreciate any advice.
I also need to get from my hotel to the MCG on Saturday and it's a bit too far for me to walk (dodgy knee). Is there a free tram that goes to the MCG (or close by)?

2023.03.20 13:23 grimmjow-sms How to get to Koan Camping Ground on Mototsu Lake.
| Hello Everyone, Like I promised (like 5 months ago) I am making a post explaining how to go to Koan Camping Ground which is the one that appears on the first episode of the Anime. First things first, as you all may know, the anime-manga is set in the Yamanashi Prefecture which is surrounding / behind Mount Fuji. In this area there are 5 lakes: Yamanakako, Kawaguchiko, Saiko, Shoji and Mototsu. The first 2 lakes are the biggest ones and the most common for tourism. The other 3 are smaller, and they are used mostly for sports, especially Mototsu where you can see a lot of people doing Windsurfing. Although it is a very nice place, there isn’t much to do there. As is a place far from everything, business close early and there are no konbinis nearby. I would recommend you spend one day there only if you go only for seeing the camp site. If you want to do some hiking, then maybe 2 days tops. Koan camping ground is located near Mototsu lake. In here you can also find the Fuji picture of the 1000Y bill. Now, how to get there. I will explain it as if you are going there from Tokyo. Also, I want to mention that, It will take time to get there, at least 3 hours, so please go early, you will understand why later. While in Tokyo, you need to head to Shinjuku and go to the Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal and head to the 4th floor, so you can buy the tickets. Buy tickets for Kawaguchiko Station they are around 2,000Y each ticket you can buy the round trip in advanced, else buy the return ticket in Kawaguchiko station once you come back from Mototsu. The trip should take 2 hours without any issue. Once there, head inside the station and look for the bus ticket counter. Ask for the Sightseen Bus All Lines ticket, it is valid for 2 days and it cost around 1,500Y (as for 2022). Bus ticket example Even if you go one day only, it is cheaper to get this ticket instead of paying both bus rides. Once you have the ticket simply ask for the Line Number for the Motosu Lake bus. Also, you might want to go to the information center next to Kawaguchiko St. and ask for maps and bus schedules. In case you want to do one day trip only, you need to know when the last bus will depart from Mototsu. The ride should take around 1 hour to 1 hour 20 min tops. The bus line is Blue and the Bus stop is the last one. If you know how to ride a bike (I don’t) I would recommend you to stop in the Bus Stop 97 and near there you will see a bike rental. I am attaching the maps from this area. As you can see from the map, Mototsu is the last lake with the last bus Stop. Koan camping doesn’t appear in the map I added, but it is there, I promise. Map of most of the lakes Mototsu area Once there, you can confirm the bus departure time and buy some stuff (if you didn't already) for going to the camp site. Bike rental is like 1,500Y each, else it is like a 40-50 min walk to the site. You will notice when you arrive because you will arrive to a tunnel entrance and the Campsite is to the left of the tunnel. Around this place you will see also the scenic Mount Fuji view from the 1000Y bill as I mentioned. Once you arrive to the entrance you will see familiar places, the bathroom bench where Nadeshiko sleeps, the house (full of YuruCamp stuff) and down the road the camp site. Now, I did not go down to the camp site because I did not know if I was allowed to look without paying, I assume you can, since I walked inside another campsite in Mototsu ( Sumika). Besides the nice view from this lake and the 2 camp sites, if you have another day, or arrive there very early, you might have time to do some Hiking and go to top of Ryugadake which has a very nice from Fuji and the lakes. Going Back Remember to go back to the bus station on time, because after the last bus depart you will have to stay somewhere there and like I said, there is not much things, like food will be closed early. If you bought the tickets I mentioned, simply show to the bus driver and get on the bus. Recommendations: - Bring water, food, snacks, protein bars.
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothes (no converse, pls)
- Sunscreen, bug repelent, hat.
- Cash cus I don't remember they take card.
I hope this information is useful for you. Be safe out there, be careful of cordyceps and cov-19, avoid getting kidnapped by UAPs and stuff. If needed I will keep editing this post and add more info. submitted by grimmjow-sms to laidbackcamp [link] [comments] |
