Blog Post #2

For, the New York Times project, our theme was transportation.  Our group chose this theme because transportation affects our everyday lives whether we are taking the train, taking the bus or driving a car to places we need to go.  Also, most students in Baruch commute so transportation do affect us. We want to bring attention to the issues we are having with transportation systems and how we can better them.  For example, most people want Wi-Fi underground so that its convenient and it is useful in case of emergency.  Another example is creating bike lanes for the cyclist in the busy streets of Manhattan.  Another can be improving the subway system so that it runs efficiently and be on time. This  allows students to get to class on time and allow people to get to work on time. We also want to focus on some of the good things, such as China’s safe and efficient train systems.  We always want to find improvements to benefit the people in society and have things ran efficiently.
