Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:               DM> What is "t7"?               AH> I've never been to Moscow... but this sounds to me like        AH> the name of a bus, commuter train, or subway route. I        AH> guess the name hasn't changed although the itinerary has        AH> been modified somewhat. :-)               DM> Ardith, YES. It is elecrobus.                      A bus which runs on electricity? In Vancouver, a lot of the buses       have poles on the roof which receive electrical power from overhead wires. We       call these trolley buses, but streetcars & some trains work the same way. :-)                             AH> What is communter train?                      A commuter is a person who lives a considerable distance away from       where they work and uses a car &/or public transit (such as a bus or train) to       travel between a suburb or small community & the city on a regular basis.               English being the way it is, "commuter" began life as a noun which       nowadays may also be used... without inflection... as an adjective. :-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 18/0 19/10 90/1 105/81 116/116 120/340 123/0 25       SEEN-BY: 123/35 40 50 131 150 170 180 190 755 135/300 138/146 153/250       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 275 424 426 664 1016 240/1120 1634 1895 2100 5138       SEEN-BY: 240/5411 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 382/147       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 2454/119 3634/0       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 15 27 50       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
