How long does it take to transfer between Chicago Ohare concourse C and concourse E?|125881

I have a short connection (1 hour) - will I have to go through security? How long does the transfer take between the concourses?

It_s going to take a while. You have to go through the tunnel from C to B... then walk through B.... then transfer terminals... then re-enter security....

You should just fly direct.

.

One hour should be fine. 30 minutes is worst case to get from Concourse C in Terminal 1 to Concourse E in Terminal 2. You will have to walk a ways, but you don_t have to be a perfect physical specimen to make in on time.

Connections between Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are all beyond the security checkpoint, so you won_t have to worry about having to get do TSA again unless you do end up leaving the terminal.

And that will happen if you try to take the PeopleMover trains between terminals. At least you won_t have to walk between terminals, but you_ll have to get past TSA again.

It shouldn_t take that long, you won_t hve that far to go. I_d say about 30 minutes, tops. (depending, of course, on what time of day your arrive, what day of the week, etc. For instance, if you were transferring at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday, it probably wouldn_t be that difficult to get from one to the other.)

Anyone who tells you 30 minutes is a true optimist.

A. It_s a long walk and depending on the time of day you may have some _people traffic_ slowing you down.

B. You have to go through another security check point and depending on the time of day and the number of screeners and machines, that alone can take 1/2 hour, especially if they pull you aside for _special screening_.

C. Concourse E is no little place. You may have a 10-15 minute jog if your plane is at the end of the concourse.

D. You actually have to be on the plane a minute before they close the doors or some of the airlines will refuse to board you.

You might be able to do it in an hour, especially between 11 am-1 pm or after 8 pm and before 4 am. But the rest of the day is a crap shoot. But then, this is why I prefer flying out of Midway whenever I can.

How long untill Greyhound does away with the Delays/Cancelations and starts working again?|151959

With this Snow Storm hitting,How long do you think it will take the Canceled/Delayed routes to re-open?

Actually, they_ve been working at getting the arrivals and departures closer together. The main problem is traffic and weather. No one can predict how either one will go.

roughly 12 minutes

How do you get to the Bronx from Midtown?|115453

I am taking Amtrak that gets off at Penn Station, and I need to go from there to the Bronx (Throngs Neck/SUNY Maritime). Does anyone know how/the fastest way to get there? I don_t have a problem walking 10ish blocks to get to a subway stop, and was looking to take the subway and then a bus....Any tips? Thanks.

My friend, here how to get from Penn Station to SUNY Maritime College.

Step 1: take the uptown (northbound) #1, 2 or 3 subway lines (Red Line in the subway map) from Penn Station to Times Square.

Step 2: at Times Square, transfer upstairs to the 42nd Street Shuttle (Black Line). Take the Shuttle eastbound from Times Square to Grand Central.

Please note when boarding 42nd Street Shuttle at Times Square, there is a gap between the platform and the train, so watch your step.

Step 3: at Grand Central, follow the directional sign leading to you the # 4, 5, 6 and 7 subway lines (Green and Purple Line). Take the Bronx-bound (northbound) #4 or 5 express train from Grand Central to 125th Street.

Step 4: at 125th Street, transfer across the platform to the #6 local train (Green Line). Take the Bronx-bound #6 train from 125th Street to Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue.

Step 5: at Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue, transfer downstairs (the station is elevated in the Bronx) to the Bx40 bus. Take the eastbound bus from the subway station to SUNY Maritime College. The bus will leave you right at the front gates of the college.

The fare on the subway is $2 each way. The transfer between the subway and bus, and vice versa, is free. However, if you_re town in for week or two, you can purchase an unlimited ride MetroCard, which will give you unlimited rides on the city_s subway and bus system.

A 7-day pass will cost you $25, while the 14-day pass will cost you $47.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

I_m sorry, not only was that too much information, it was wrong, added extra steps, and was not consistent with what the trip planner would have told you if you_d used it yourself.

Must agree here. The 2 to the Bx40 works a bit better.

hopstop.com has become a great way to answer this kind of question; I didn_t use it much when it started, but it_s become a fully-featured, well-developed site since then.

Throgs Neck/SUNY Maritime is what you_re looking for.

To get there:
Uptown 2 train, at Penn Station. Get off at E Tremont Ave/W Farms Sq. Then, take a Fort Schuyler-bound Bx40 bus. Get off at the Fort Schuyler entrance, the end.

Fare - $2, pay by MetroCard. The transfer from the 2 to the Bx40 is free, encoded on the MetroCard. Almost no walking required at all.

Try that. And it_s Throggs Neck. Enter starting point and destination and this thing should help you out.

Oh, and while the D does go to the Bronx, it goes no where near Throggs Neck.

take the D train it runs from the bronx to Brooklyn

Walk, you_ll save money

Why are electricity bills more expensive in one area of Vegas then in another?|141740

Who pays the most on their power bill in las vegas, how much and why?

The cost per kilowat hour is the same however Las Vegas is in the Mohave Desert so it depends on which part of the valley you live. Some are hotter than others. The further west toward Red Rock the lower the temp, the further toward Henderson the higher, etc.

And depending on when the home was built, the insulation could be way different and the type of windows.

The general cost is regulated per kilowat hour as a previous poster stated. Several factors go into how much a person pays - the most obvious is how energy-efficient a place is. It can be in total shade, but if the AC isn_t efficient, you_re going to spend out the wazoo when the temperature hits 110! Ditto if the appliances are energy suckers.

I agree with the other poster. the utility is regulated and cannot selective charge for service. the cost differntial can be climate, as the poster said. also if you have an older house with poor insulation will cost more to heat and light.
I have a 2000 house and it does lack in winter insulation so the heat is higher than I prefer. but have to deal with it.
