My Latest Project – SF Pizza

April 4th, 2010

I like pizza, a lot, and I enjoy exploring new pizza places and options. I also bought a cool domain a while back, thebestinsf.com and was looking for something to do with it. I decided to combine those two things and write about my exploration of San Francisco Pizza Places. I’m also throwing in posts about options for making pizza at home with store bought dough and sooner or later will get around to writing up some posts on making your own from scratch as I feel like I’ve tried enough recipes and techniques to have something useful to share. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Streetfilms: Curitiba, the Cradle of Bus Rapid Transit

by Elizabeth Press on April 1, 2009

“Curitiba, Brazil first adopted its Master Plan in 1968. Since then, it has become a city well known for inventive urban planning and affordable (to the user and the city) public transportation.

Curitiba’s Bus Rapid Transit system is the source of inspiration for many other cities including the TransMilenio in Bogotá, Colombia, Metrovia in Guayaquil, Ecuador, as well as the Orange Line of Los Angeles.”

An interesting short video about public transit in Curitiba, Brazil. 75% of it’s citizens travel by bus to work everyday. 1% of Phionex, AZ, a similar sized US city gets to work via public transit. For comparison 32% of San Francisco residents take transit to get to work, probably 2nd only to NYC.  Check out “Transportation in San Francisco” for other interesting SF public transit facts & demographics.
