What is the average cost of an Amtrak trip from Boston to New York?
Edited (08/15/12) to add:The article at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/1... says that Acela fares between New York and Washington range from an average of $145 for regular business class to $351 for first class; New York to Boston, $104 to $251; and Boston to Washington, $163 to $393.Non-Acela train fares between New York and Washington average $49 to $153 for coach and $120 to $193 for business class; New York to Boston, $49 to $133 for coach and $104 to $168 for business; and Boston to Washington, $70 to $185 coach and $144 to $233 for business class.----Amtrak prices fares in "buckets," meaning that the first N tickets are the lowest possible fare, then the next one, and so on. Therefore, if you book early enough, the fare will be the lowest fare for your route.For BOS-NYP on the Northeast Regional, that lowest fare is $49 if you book at least two weeks in advance, $69 otherwise. The next bucket is $98, and so on. In general, if you book even a day or two in advance for a not-very-popular time on the Northeast Regional, you can get one of the lowest fares. For Friday nights, weekends, Monday mornings, or holidays, the prices jump up sharply.For Acela trains, the lowest fare is $101. The next buckets on Acela are $118, $134, and $151. From my experience, booking a few weeks early will almost guarantee the lowest fare, and booking a few days or a week early might land you in the second or third fare bucket.(all prices current as of January 2012)----Regarding actual averages: Amtrak releases some monthly data on their website (see Monthly Performance Reports at http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/Co...). There probably is better data out there, but my cursory google search was unsuccessful.For example, the October 2011 report indicates that ridership on the Acela was approximately 300,418, with ticket revenue at $45,840,158, meaning an average ticket price of about $152. This is for the entire route, however. Assuming that most of the tickets are BOS-NYP or NYP-WAS or the reverse routes, and they each cost about the same, this would give an approximate average of $152 for the Acela BOS-NYP route during October 2011, for example.
How much does it cost to ride in an ambulance?
Question: How much does it cost to ride in an ambulance?Like the other people have written, there’s no hard and fast answer.In my area? Depending on if you’re a resident or non-resident and if I do ALS or BLS will determine your bill.For clarification, ALS for my area includes:administration of nitroglycerin fromnitroglycerin from my ambulance’s stocknitrous oxide administrationAn IV attempt (doesn’t need to be successful)An IO attempt (also doesn’t need to be successful)Everything else? BLS.As for cost? Generally it’s going to be around $850 or $1120 for a resident. For a non-resident that increases to above $1000 regardless of ALS or BLS (ALS costs more.)Mileage-wise? Its around $20 a mile, so theoretically your bill could be around $1000 from the closest point in our district to the closest hospital for someone that lives in our district, all the way to over $2000 for someone at the farthest reaches of our district that wants to go to the higher-level hospitals in our district and gets an ALS skill.
Why are the limo bus services so much in demand these days?
Limo buses offer you comfort and luxury like nothing else can. They are extremely spacious and can accommodate a large group of people in the same luxury vehicle. The reason for a surge in demand of limo buses is the fact that more and more people are realising that it is not worth spending money on owning a car and driving it yourself. Not to mention the fact that a car can accommodate not more than 4 to 5 people at a time. Hiring a Limo bus is convenient, cost effective as well as cheaper than owning one yourself. One can simple book a ride as and when they need and can ride to their destination without worrying about getting behind the wheels.If you need to buy Limo buses for your business, you can check out Nationsbus.com for their wide selection of used and refurbished Limo buses for sale.
What is the average cost of an airport transfer from Orlando (Florida) International Airport (MCO) to the Lake Buena Vista area?
It depends on where you want to go. If you're staying at a resort at Walt Disney World, transportation is free via Disney's Magical Express.If you're not staying at a Disney resort, you have a few options available to you. While Florida (and the Southern United States in general) are not known for their mass transportation, Orlando airport has a reasonably decent number of options, considering the numerous tourist attractions nearby.Mears provides Taxi, Shuttle, and Limousine services from Orlando International Airport to places around Central Florida.A taxi from Orlando International Airport to the Magic Kingdom will cost about $65.27: Taxi Fare EstimatorMears | Mears.Please note that it is customary to tip taxi drivers an additional 15% of the fare cost. For more information on tipping in general, CNN has a nice pace with details: CNN/Money: How much to tipOther transportation options exist, such as shuttle vans, city buses, and intercity light rail (via a city bus route). The Orlando International Airport has a list of places to start: Orlando International Airport (MCO)A good rule of thumb to use for transportation while in the Orlando area:If you have 7 or fewer people traveling, you can take a taxi van, they all ride for the price of one person. When you return to the airport, make sure you call ahead, or your only option might be a taxi car, which can seat only 4 people. Shuttle van services typically charge per-person, but are usually cheaper over longer distances. This might come in handy if you have a small party that is going a longer distance.Hope this helps.

If a postal truck, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a police car all met at a four way stop at exactly the same time, who would have the right of way and why?
In the U.S., considering that the ambulance and fire truck were not in emergency mode, the person on the right always has the right of way.In emergency mode depending on the situation the emergency vehicle on the right would have the right of way. However, emergency vehicles running in emergency mode may ignore certain traffic regulations so most likely they would both proceed cautiously and work it out among themselves.After seeing more answers there seems to be a misconception that driver of mail trucks can do anything they want without consequences. This couldn't be further from the truth.A mail truck does not have an automatic right of way. There are some exceptions for mail trucks such as being able to drive on the wrong side of the road to reach postal boxes. However, drivers of mail trucks must obey all applicable statutes of the state.What people are referring to is a very old statute which was a federal statute which gave mail trucks the right of way at all times and exempted them from traffic laws.This law has been thrown out by many appeals courts years ago. Logic dictates that the driver of a mail does not have the right of way at all times. I have cited postal carriers a few times when they were at fault in an accident.Motor vehicle statutes are enacted by state legislatures and are state controlled. No federal law involves a traffic statute.
