How much is DC one day pass for rail ticket? -

I am visiting DC in a few days. How much is one day unlimited pass in the rail?If I purchare fare card, how much per ride? $1.65? What is the price for $4.50?http://www.wmata.com/fares/metrorail.cfmRegular fare (In effect on weekdays from opening to 9:30 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. and weekends 2 a.m. to closing) * $1.65 minimum * $4.50 maximum

A one day rail pass is $7.80 for a day that starts after 9:30AM. It expires at the end of that service day. Depending on how much you plan on using Metro Rail, that price may be rather steep. The fares are higher priced during rush hours. The fares are based on distance traveled. If you re in the Metro DC tourist area, the fares will generally be $1.35 non rush and $1.65 rush. If you are traveling greater distances, the fares will be higher. If spending a few days in the area, I would suggest buying card for say $10 or $20, then adding on if additional funds are needed. Here s a couple links:This one is for daily passes daily passes...http://www.wmata.com/fares/purchase/pass��This one is for computing fares between station: http://www.wmata.com/rail/stations.cfm

If you buy a regular card, you then pay for each trip. The cost of the trip depends on the length of the trip and the time of day. Longer trips are more expensive, and traveling during rush hour is more expensive.If you will be taking a lot of trips, you can get an unlimited pass. One day is $7.80, but you can t use that before 9:30 am.For details, seehttp://www.wmata.com/fares/purchase/pass��Probably the easiest thing is to buy a card for 2 or 3 dollars, then add money as you need it. Ask the managers at the station if you have any questions about how to do that. They are used to helping visitors.

Is mango street a real place in chicago? -

I am familiar only with the small street called Mango Avenue (NOT Mango Street, which I understand is fictional).I m a big Sandra Cisneros fan and understand that the setting for The House on Mango Street takes place in an imaginary neighborhood based either or both on Pilsen and/or Humboldt Park/Wicker Park in Chicago. Mango Avenue does not run through either of these actual neighborhoods.I also suspect she chose that title in part because of the fun alliteration when you translate it to Spanish.

There s no Mango Street in Chicago.

There s a North Mango Avenue, but no Mango Street.

It sure is, it s in Pilsen. I have a friend who used to live on mango street!

Yes. Its a small one way street though

Yes, It is far west but is an avenue between Central and Austin Blvd at 5750 west. It runs on and off from North Avenue to Galewood Park, Aemitage to Belmont, Irving Park Rd to Berteau, Montrose to Sunnyside, Grover to Avondale, and Catalpa to Elston. The setting of the book did not take place there however even though the author is from Chicago.

Taxi License in Suffolk County, NY? -

My son-in-law drives a cab in Nassau County, but he would like to drive closer to his home in Suffolk. He has a Nassau County taxi driver s license. Does he need to buy another license for Suffolk County?

Unlike Nassau County (and NYC), Suffolk doesn t have a Taxi and Limousine Commission, which otherwise would of course be the place to ask.That complicates the system because it leaves taxis to be regulated and licensed by the various towns, so the requirements and costs vary depending on exactly where you are.The best bet, therefore, is probably to contact a cab company near his home and ask them what the local requirements are.And of course in contacting a local cab company it d make sense to also ask if they re hiring!

contact the taxi and limousine commission by nyc.com s web site for info.
