Academic literature on the topic 'Tour buses in fiction'

The movement activity from Medan City to Tanjung Balai City is a fairly dense movement. The movement between the two cities can be served by several modes of transportation including trains and intercity transport buses (KUPJ, KUPJ TOUR, Sartika). The purpose of this study is to find out which public transportation is most interested in by the public before and after changes in the train system with city transportation buses, as well as analyze the variables of destination, consideration, and service of the Medan Tanjung Balai route. Based on the results of the analysis between passenger data from agencies and the results of field questionnaires, passengers prefer trains over intercity transport buses. This is due to the efficiency of fast train mileage compared to intercity transport buses. From the results of independent variables (goals, considerations, services) positively and significantly give a good influence to users of rail transport and city transport buses.

The most convenient means of transport while visiting Cape Town is getting around the town by tour bus. Tour buses in Cape Town shuttle regularly between major attractions of the town. Tourists can hop on and hop off at any bus stop they like. In May 2010, shortly before the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which took place in South Africa, an integrated electronic platform MyCiTi was implemented. Since then, passengers have gained access to current timetables and routes of buses, and got additional information about transport in Cape Town, which has turned out to be a significant convenience for them. Passengers can choose between four main colour coded tours: red, blue, yellow and purple. They can also transfer to another bus at transport nodes, which enables them to reach all tourist attractions in Cape Town. Moreover, there is possibility of buying day tickets or two-day tickets and taking a cruise which constitutes a great attraction in the offer of Citysightseeing company in Cape Town.

The article contemplates the problem of ignorance of fiction in modern society from different points of view. The reasons for literary illiteracy are considered. The authors propose holding a real tour on the streets of a city as a way to stimulate young generation’s interest in reading fiction. The city itself and its literary constituent act as a culturological evidence of the existence of different epochs, different people, but common timeless problems. To confirm this idea, the article provides a fragment of a real tour along the streets of Nizhny Novgorod.

Abstract Tomohon City is one of the tourist destinations which is currently experiencing an increase in tourist visits. This impacts traffic density because tourists still use private vehicles and large buses originating from Manado. Therefore, transportation and accessibility and connectivity are needed to connect one area to another through planning tour transport connectivity. The method used in this research is field data collection and descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. After going through the data processing, the result is the type of vehicle used to plan of tour transport in Tomohon City is a small bus with 16 passengers. With the number of vehicles needed in the planning of tour transport, there are ten vehicles to accommodate the highest number of tourist visits on holidays with IDR. 400.000 / bus. The alternative route chosen is Tomohon Extreme Market -Lake Linow- Tomohon Prayer Hill.

The existence of tourism facilities and infrastructure are elements to facilitate the process of tourism activities. With the facilities and infrastructure, it is hoped that tourism activities can run smoothly. Among the facilities in tourism activities are transportation/tour buses, travel operators, travel agents, restaurants, hotels/inns, tourist attractions, and tourist attractions. PT Asli Prima Inti Karya is a company engaged in tourism bus rental services, located in Pandeglang Regency, precisely in Labuan, Banten province. PT Asli Prima Inti Karya organizes several tour package and travel agency activities. The conventional bus rental system did not initially cause problems in terms of service. Along with the increasing demand for rental, it takes a complete service so that customers can be served well. The author analyzes the problem and makes a bus rental application design as a solution to the problems in serving customers who will rent buses. The application design uses UML, and uses the Sublime Text 3 programming language, PHP, XAMPP Version 3.2.4, and the database used is MySQL. The results of the application test show that the existence of this information system can make it easier for tenants to carry out the bus rental process.

Early Modern Grand Tourer in Poland-Lithuania. Fiction or Real Possibility? In the last fifty or so years, Grand Tour has become a very popular and extensively researched phenomenon. Although mainstream researchers have analyzed various aspects of the Grand Tour, they have tended to adopt a narrow definition limited to the experiences of young English gentlemen undertaking a study tour of Italy and France. This article poses a somewhat provocative question: was the Grand Tour feasible as a study tour of an English gentleman visiting Poland- Lithuania? Based on contemporary travel writing, the author reveals the challenges and the difficult logistics of such an undertaking.

This thesis is an exploration of representation, authorship and creative collaboration in disability comedy, the centre piece of which is a feature-length film starring, co-created and co-written by three intellectually-disabled people. The film, entitled Down Under Mystery Tour, aims to entertain, and be accessible to, a mainstream audience, one that would not normally care about disability or listen to disabled voices. In the past, the failure of these voices to reach audiences has been blamed on poor training, marginal timeslots and indifferent audiences. But this project seeks an alternative approach, building collaboration between disabled and non-disabled people to express voice, conceive, construct and produce a filmed narrative, and engage willing audiences who want to listen.

This novel manuscript explores the connections between art, the city of Calgary, and political complacency. Legislated into the school and job chosen by her high school career test results, a law student attends a party at a heritage house in Calgary and takes a tour through the rooms, hoping to encounter a lost acquaintance. In this world, careers are divided into five ambiguous "Fifths" (labour, service, secondary service, small business, and corporate science) none officially more valuable than any of the others. "Fifth Fifths", though, are the best paid, their post-secondary educations heavily subsized. The characters adhere unquestioningly to the ideology of the government in power (as Albertans historically have done), though they resent their lack of choice and recognize injustice. They, like most of the characters featured in popular Calgary history books, are the ones ultimately benefiting from the system.

Taiwan is a long and narrow island. Road transportation is the main means of transportation around the island. Among the various road transportation vehicles, public bus is the main mode of road transportation for most citizens. Tour bus is most convenient for people to access scenic spots, which are mostly located in mountainous areas. Tour bus offers them both convenience and autonomy. However, life and properties of passengers depend on transportation safety. Safety is a fundamental requirement for any transportation means. For tour buses which are usually fully loaded with passengers, it is especially essential. The license leasing practice has existed in the tour bus industry for many years. However, results of investigation into several serious tour bus traffic accidents in recent years have shown that all the buses involved in these cases were operated under the license leasing practice. Therefore, this study investigated the blind points in management of the license leasing practice and the factors affecting transportation safety from several aspects, including tour bus organizations, operations, and management models. Through literature review and expert interview, factors affecting tour bus safety management were extracted. An expert questionnaire was designed on the basis of these factors, and the weight of each factor was calculated using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Results showed that in the decision making perspective, all the three groups of experts considered “driver management” as the most important factor in the improvement of tour bus safety management. Driver management is particularly imperative for tour bus companies having buses running under the license leasing practice. Among the 13 evaluation criteria, “driver’s mental state” was considered as the most important criterion by the experts, followed by “driver’s self-regulation” and “driver’s experience”. The analysis of traffic violation cases also revealed that drivers of buses running under the license leasing practice had a higher traffic violation rate. Based on the above results, suggestions on improvement of tour bus safety management were proposed as a reference for government authorities and tour bus companies to help them increase the safety of tour bus transportation.

Que peuvent penser des lycéens français de l’amélioration des capacités du corps humain par l’utilisation de sciences et techniques intégrées ? À partir de quelles références vont-ils exprimer la régulation éthique ou législative qu’ils souhaiteraient lui voir appliquer ? Dans un contexte didactique imprécis et malgré une thématique juridique peu coutumière, deux classes de 2nde s’impliquent tour à tour dans un format d’apprentissage inédit alliant documentation, débats, raisonnement puis communication orale et écrite. Elles expérimentent les écarts entre persuader et convaincre, pratiquent un oral peu normé, mais productif pour apprendre, s’organisent pour synthétiser des pistes de travail communes, puis accèdent à une certaine conceptualisation. En donnant un second souffle au projet, la contrainte de la pandémie de Covid donne l’occasion d’un utile détour par les mythes grecs et la science-fiction : redéployé, le travail sur la langue permet de retrouver quelques bénéfices oubliés d’une pratique de la rhétorique : notamment le travail de la clarté, du suspense, du décentrement, bref d’un esprit critique où s’élabore une pensée en acte.

AbstractThe reason why the term sakprosa, imprecisely translated as non-fiction, is, in fact, untranslatable into English, is the prefix “sak” (German: Sach), with the approximate meaning “subject”, “case”, or even “thing”. Hence, in these concluding remarks to the book The Discourse of Things, the Scandinavian idiom is recommended as a foreign word to English, as has happened with the idiom “ombudsman”. It is argued that the concept is well fit to discuss and strengthen the quality of socially and culturally important texts in a democratic-ethical perspective. An appropriate understanding of sakprosa texts can be achieved through five metaphorical topoi: (a) the city: a complex textual system of debating publics and common private fora, (b) the anthill: a multitude of everyday activities that are handled through texts, (c) the choir: multi-voiced texts that shed light on the phenomena in question, based on different skills and temperaments, (d) the thing site: where judgments are shared and decisions are made about the future and (e) the borderland. The recent book’s empirical and theoretical studies are commented on and placed in these four topoi, related to a thorough discussion around the author’s own proposal for a definition of the Concept of sakprosa (CPS): “Sakprosa are texts that the addressee has reasons to perceive as direct utterances about reality”, as well as to his division of CPS in literary sakprosa, belonging to the literary institution, and functional sakprosa, which make up the vast majority of texts in today’s societies.

Los megadesarrollos turísticos de sol y playa han sido impulsados por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) como proyectos de estrategia de desarrollo turístico, en México nacen los Centros Integralmente Planeados (CIP´s) para dar orden urbano, descentralizando grandes inversiones turísticas principalmente de origen extranjeros. Son identificados ante la promoción turística por la inversión de insumos y tecnología. Los emplazamientos turísticos de sol y playa han crecido y destinan espacios para el hospedaje turístico temporal y permanente. Este tipo de emplazamientos destacan por ser representaciones de exclusividad, privacidad y seguridad, manifestando enclavamiento en la serie de conjuntos turísticos construidos para integrar el megadesarrollo turístico, demarcando un acceso que indica el inicio del montaje realidad-ficción, conformando el montaje de ficción, que llevan a construir una realidad a partir del imaginario. Lo sucedido fuera del montaje será considerado como realidad, al establecerse una serie de compaginaciones que fabricarán la nueva realidad, la realidad-ficción, entre representaciones de fantasía visuales, de sonidos y sobretodo de ideas por transmitir, como es lo motivante que resultan para los turistas las guías turísticas. Las representaciones son basadas en imágenes de paisajes, personas, ciudades, entre otros emblemas simbólicos. Cada espacio por destacar será retomado para enfocar el montaje en dibujos, pinturas, danzas, arquitectura, entre otras dinámicas de conquista turística, igual sucede con la reproducción de sonidos relacionados con la exclusividad, privacidad y seguridad para el turista al interior del conjunto. Toda construcción de la realidad se realiza en un espacio y un tiempo definido a partir del imaginario, ya que existe el objetivo de cautivar al visitante, dentro de una serie de montajes continuos donde será eliminada la línea de corte entre montajes, convirtiendo la ficción en realidad para el turista, el montaje correcto y el escenario indicado, señalan el orden constante de los montajes. Del trozo de imágenes fabricadas y rescatadas del ambiente natural o real, se conformara una relación argumental a través de la compaginación con la secuencia adecuada de cada una de las escenas plasmadas por el imaginario, unir y encauzar los montajes para el cumplimiento de la representación en un filme. De los ejemplos más destacados son las creaciones a partir del imaginario en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, representados en los hoteles como torre hilton baynunah, jumeirah Beach burj al-arab, hotel w, hotel apearon island y hotel eta, los cuales exponen servicios como compras de lujo, centros spa con instalaciones exclusivas para el deporte y el tiempo libre, habitaciones equipadas, climatizadas y con lo último de la tecnología. Se distinguen los colores y las formas por resaltar ante la cultura árabe, pero es importante señalar que cada uno de esos megadesarrollos turísticos marcará su filme con esta serie de montajes, que permitirán compaginar la serie de trozos de imágenes fabricadas ante la fantasía imaginada. Los megadesarrollos turísticos se distinguen por crear escenarios turísticos a partir del imaginario, destacando el enclavamiento a través de la búsqueda del concepto de seguridad, con un marcado interés para conformar comunidades nuevas, asimismo elementos como los acceso se encuentran custodiados por personal de seguridad que indicara la bienvenida al turista, sin conocer que será guiado y vigilado por cámaras de video ocultas en la masa de la edificación, también se distinguen elementos de seguridad para la movilidad y accesibilidad al conjunto, destacando vía aérea, naval ó terrestre, el recorrido al interior marcándose bajo un escalonamiento de cota descendente a nivel de playa, mostrara cada uno de los escenarios turísticos montados para indicar el recorrido al turista al interior del conjunto turístico. The sun and beach tourist megadevelopments have been stimulated by the Inter-American Bank of Development (BID) as projects of strategy of tourist development, in Mexico there are born the Integrally planned Centers (CIP's) to give urban order, decentralizing big tourist investments principally of origin foreigners. They are identified before the tourist promotion by the investment of inputs and technology. The emplacements have grown and destine spaces for the tourist temporary and permanent. This type stand out for being representations of exclusivity, privacy and safety, demonstrating interlock in the series of tourist sets constructed to integrate the tourist megadevelopment, limiting an access that indicates the beginning of the montage reality - fiction, shaping the montage of fiction, that they lead to constructing a reality from the imaginary one. The happened out of the montage will be considered to be a reality, on there having be established a series of page lay-outs that will make the new reality, the reality - fiction, between visual representations of fantasy, of sounds and overcoat of ideas for transmitting, since motivation is that the tourist guides prove for the tourists. The representations are based on images of landscapes, persons, cities and symbolic emblems. Chaque espace pour se faire remarquer sera repris pour mettre au point le montage dans des dessins, des peintures, des danses, une architecture, entre d'autres dynamiques de conquête touristique, égale il succède avec la reproduction de sons relatifs à l'exclusivité, confidentialité et sécurité pour le touriste à l'intérieur de l'ensemble. Toute construction de la réalité est réalisée dans un espace et le temps défini à partir de l'imaginaire, puisqu'il existe l'objectif de captiver le visiteur, à l'intérieur d'une série de montages continuels où la ligne de coupure sera éliminée entre des montages, en changeant la fiction en réalité pour le touriste, le montage correct et la scène indiquée, ils marquent l'ordre constant des montages. Of the chunk of images made and rescued of the natural or real environment, a plot relation was conforming across the page lay-out to the suitable sequence of each one of the scenes formed by the imaginary one, to join and to channel the montages for the fulfillment of the representation in a movie. Of the most out-standing examples they are the creations from the imaginary one in the United Arab Emirates represented in the hotels as tower hilton baynunah, jumeirah Beach burj al-arab, hotel w, hotel apearon island y hotel eta, which expose services as purchases of luxury, centers spa with exclusive facilities for the sport and the free time, equipped rooms with the last technology. The colors and the forms are distinguished for standing out before the Arabic culture, but it is important to indicate that each of these megadevelopments will mark with this series of montages, which will allow to arrange the series of chunks of images made before the imagined fantasy. The megadevelopments differ for creating tourist scenes from the imaginary one, emphasizing the interlock across the search of the safety concept, with a marked interest to shape new communities, likewise elements like them I access they are guarded by safety personnel that was indicating the welcome to the tourist, Without knowing that it will be guided and monitored by secret video cameras in the mass of the building, also safety elements are distinguished for the mobility and accessibility to the set, emphasizing airway, navally ó terrestrial, the tour to the interior being marked under an stairs of descending level to beach level, there was showing each of the tourist scenes mounted to indicate the tour to the tourist to the interior of the set.
