The document discusses Japan's obsession with punctuality and quality service in public transportation, exemplified by the country's high-speed bullet train system, the Shinkansen. It notes how Japan's focus on these areas has influenced public transportation in the US and its citizens. The US is investing billions to develop its own high-speed rail networks, and the future of transportation in America may come to resemble Japan's model of punctual, high-quality rail service.
Project survey
The document summarizes the results of a bullet train feasibility survey conducted in Texas between April 20th and May 1st. 282 residents completed the survey about their travel habits and opinions on bullet trains. Key results found that 81% of respondents were satisfied with the idea of bullet trains and 64% felt it would lead to a cleaner environment. Comments ranged from full support to concerns about safety and cost. The social aspect analysis aimed to understand people's views on transportation choices and reducing gasoline use, while expanding knowledge on greener options through energy, fuel and transportation impacts.

This study examines differences in satisfaction levels among riders of bus rapid transit (BRT), metro, and conventional bus in Guangzhou, China. A survey was administered to riders of each transit type along one corridor. The survey addressed satisfaction with various service attributes and overall satisfaction. A trivariate ordered probit model was developed to identify the most influential service attributes for each transit type's satisfaction, and to determine which attributes contribute to differences in overall satisfaction between BRT and metro. The study aims to provide guidance on prioritizing service improvements to enhance BRT quality.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
