BART EZ Rider - Pilot Program Written By: Hambaba 2007-01-26 05:00:00
EZ Rider, a blessing for the hard core users of BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) system; No more waiting in lines for a new ticket, missing the BART by a mere few seconds due to administrative procedures (ie adding more value on your ticket, getting stuck at the entrance, etc). BART is currently testing a new card system that will allow riders to have a electronic "smart card" which they can quickly swipe over any BART entrances to gain access. The card will be connected to user's credit or debit card allowing for automatic reductions whenever the card is low in value.
Help! 911! Can you hear me now? Written By: Hambaba 2007-01-09 13:53:12
Technology, where are in you in an emergency? Despite all the
improvements in 911 technology much of the United States is still not
well equipped to locate calls from cell phones. This a huge risk for a
growing population using cell phones as a primary source of
communication. It has been a decade since the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) began mandating wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) services.
Unfortunately, nearly half of US territory is still without 911 call
centers that can locate wireless callers. What you know before you call
911 can help you tremendously in an emergency situation so here are
some things to remember.
