Metro Tasmania has launched its online Journey Planner to make bus travel easier and quicker for all

November 8, 2013

Tasmanians will now have access to an online Journey Planner aimed at making bus travel easier and quicker for passengers.

Metro Tasmania launched the online Journey Planner today as the Sustainable Living Tasmania Festival is due to start.

The company has upgraded its bus route and schedules to improve accuracy for the planner.

Chief Executive Officer Heather Haselgrove launched the planner todays and says: “The introduction of Journey Planner means people can now use the tool to make their sustainable travel plans to and from the Festival or anywhere else that Metro services run.”

Minister for Sustainable Transport Nick McKim says it will make it easier for visitors or Tasmanians visiting different regions to get around using public transport.

“With a Google Journey Planner available for Metro services in Burnie, Launceston and Hobart, it’s now that bit easier for Metro’s bus passengers to plan their trips,” he says.

“We want to attract more Tasmanians to use Metro buses – which in turn, helps reduce traffic congestion and pollution.”

Sophie Calic, of Sustainable Living Tasmania, says transport is a huge component of each person’s carbon footprint.

“Choosing to travel sustainably is now easier than ever thanks to Metro’s journey planner,” Calic says.

“It is ideal for visitors to Hobart who may be staying outside the CBD to get to Sustainable Living Festival. Using the Journey Planner they quickly and easily find what services are available and where to change buses if necessary.”

People can log on to www.metrotas.com.au using their home or work computer or mobile device and see the Journey Planner tool in the top right hand side of the screen.

The festival starts this weekend and includes extensive hands-on workshops, cooking demonstrations, and over 90 business and community group exhibitors.

Tas tax tips: need options for when you owe federal taxes, but can’t pay in full.

The best-case scenario is to pay your taxes in full by the due date of the tax return because otherwise both a failure to pay penalty and interest may continue to be assessed until it is fully paid.

If you are unable to pay your taxes in full, the IRS has several options that you can consider based on your financial situation.

Here’s a summary of some of the options available and links to get more information and how start the process of making the type of request you choose.

• Payment Plans – The IRS provides a variety of payment plan options, including the ability to apply online for a payment plan. The benefit to applying online is that once you complete your online application, you will receive immediate notification of whether your payment plan has been approved. Also, if you run into trouble, this option allows you to chat online with an IRS assistor to help you finish the process or get other guidance on further options. Setup fees may be higher if you apply for a payment plan by phone, mail, or in-person. You can also easily apply for and maintain a payment plan by using your IRS online account.

The availability of a payment plan will depend on your income, the amount owed, and how long it will take to pay. In some cases, there are both short-term and long-term options available, again, depending on the amount you owe. In some cases, you can set up a payment plan to automatically deduct payments from banking accounts, paychecks, or you can make payments electronically or mail-in payments yourself. In most instances, you can also choose your payment date, too.

• Fees – Payment agreement fees are required for most long-term plans . However, if you qualify as a low-income taxpayer, you may request a waiver of those fees . Also, depending on the payment method you choose, there may be processing fees charged by the bank or credit card company.
• Can’t pay now? – If the IRS determines that you cannot pay any of your tax debt at this time, they may report your account as currently not collectible (CNC) and temporarily delay collection until your financial condition improves. Being designated as CNC does not mean the debt goes away, it means the IRS has determined you cannot afford to pay the debt at this time. Prior to approving your request to delay collection, the IRS may ask you to complete a Collection Information Statement ( Form 433-F PDF , Form 433-A PDF or Form 433-B PDF and provide proof of your financial status (this may include information about your assets and your monthly income and expenses).

You should know that if the IRS does delay collecting from you, your debt will increase because penalties and interest continue to be charged until you pay the full amount. During a temporary delay, the IRS will again review your ability to pay, generally annually. The IRS may also file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien to protect the government’s interest in your assets.

You should also review our TAS Currently Not Collectible page and video , before you start the process. Also, be sure to file all prior year tax returns (if you were required to file a return), even if you can’t pay the amount you owe on any returns right now, before requesting this option. You can find filing help options on our page above as well.

If the IRS decides you can make some type of payment and you still disagree, you do have options.

• Offer In Compromise – A Doubt as to Collectability or an Effective Tax Administration offer in compromise (OIC) allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can’t pay your full tax liability or doing so creates a financial hardship.

The OIC process is not for everyone and generally requires a non-refundable fee, so explore all other payment options before submitting an OIC. If you hire a tax professional to help you file an offer, be sure to check his or her qualifications.

Review our TAS OIC page and video about OICs before you start the process. You can also read the IRS Offer in Compromise Booklet and use the IRS Offer in Compromise Pre-Qualifier Tool to see if you may be eligible to make an offer, and the see links in the “Resources” section below, for additional information on OICs.

Need more help?

• Collection activities suspended: The IRS is generally prohibited from enforced collection whenever a request for a payment plan or an OIC is pending. Also, the IRS’ time to collect is suspended or prolonged whenever a request for a payment plan or an OIC is pending. Refer to Tax Topic No. 204 .
• Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) assistance – LITCs can potentially represent you before the IRS or in court on audits, appeals, tax collection matters, and other tax disputes. Services are provided for free or for a small fee. In order to qualify for assistance from an LITC, generally a taxpayer’s income must be below a certain threshold, and the amount in dispute with the IRS is usually less than $50,000.
• Taxpayer Advocate Service – if your problem is causing financial difficulty for you, your family, or your business, or you or your business is faced with an immediate threat of adverse action, use the TAS Qualifier Tool to see if you qualify for TAS assistance.

Metro of Samara

Metros of europe, metros of russia.

The Samara Metro service is comprised of one line, 10 stations, and a 12 kilometer long railway. It works between 6:00 am and midnight, with a train frequency between 10 and 12 minutes. An entire trip throughout all stations lasts 21 minutes. The basic fare is 25 rubles, but there are different prices available. There is no direct connection to the Kurumoch airport.

Metros in Russia: The Samara Metro

Samara is a vigorous city located to the Southeast of the Russian Federation, with a population of over 3 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. It is ranked 6th in the country in number of factories, being an important location in the manufacturing sector.

Between 1935 and 1991, or in other words, while the Soviet Union lasted, the city was known as Kuibyshev, as a way to honor a prominent Soviet politician. During that time, the city experienced firsthand the Space Race between the USSR and the United States, since it became the place where factories manufactured the components for rockets and satellites.

It was precisely this aspect that would influence the future development of Samara, which would host hundreds of engineers, scientists, and scholars interested in the topic of space. Therefore, the population of this area increased significantly with the turn of the second half of the 20th century.

Just as expected when population increases, the city’s administration had to restructure the roads of the region, specially, the public transportation roads.

For this reason, in 1980, the central Soviet Union government approved the construction of a metro service that would satisfy the transportation demand of the citizens of this metropolis. Later, research with the purpose of determining the viability of the project was carried on, greenlighting the construction of the metro. In 1982, the construction began. The works lasted five years, culminating in the inauguration of the Samara Metro in 1987.

Currently, the subway system has one line and 10 stations, with roads covering a total distance of 12 kilometers. The stops are impressive due to their beautiful internal architecture. This feature is common in the metro services of the extinct Soviet Union. Although it is a small metro, it still has a relatively high ridership, transporting around 44,000 people daily.

Schedule and frequency

With the purpose of satisfying the transportation demand of the Samara citizens, the subway system offers its services for a generous period of time. Its business hours are from 6:00 am and midnight. Service is generally available all week long. However, it is possible that the stations close for a period of 24 hours during occasions when maintenance works are necessary.

There are trains available during a frequency between 10 and 12 minutes all day long. Unlike many other similar railway services, the Samara Metro does not offer additional trains during peak hours. The rail cars drive at an average speed of 34 kilometers per hour. Therefore, a journey between the Yungorodok terminal station and Alabinskaya station lasts only 21 minutes.

Prices, tickets, and cards

The price for a trip on the Samara Metro is currently 25 rubles (0.43 American dollars.) Plastic tokens can be purchased to be used as a form of payment for the metro, which are valid for a one-way trip or a round-trip. These tokens are available at the ticket boots within the stations.

However, since the year 2009, electronic cards became available for the metro service, which allow way more trips than the tokens. Just like tokens, which work just like regular tickets, cards can be purchased in the ticket booths that are found in the metro stations. Also, these cards offer subscriptions to university students and high school students, which could be quite attractive to them because it allows them to save money. A summary of the prices and cards for the Samara Metro will be shown below:

• Token : This is the standard way of payment on the metro’s system. It allows the user to use the service for one or two trips, or in other words, for a one-way trip or a round trip. The token’s fare will be the same as the fare for the trip on the metro, which is 25 rubles.
• Single Ride Card : Thanks to this card, the passenger will have a little discount on the trips they make, since the ride costs 23 rubles (0.40 USD) instead of the usual 25 rubles. Something to bear in mind is that the card itself has an additional price. However, it is still a way to save money in the long run. The card costs 100 rubles (1.74 USD,) which need to be paid to the metro’s personnel in the ticket booths. If you want to use the Single Ride Card, you will need to always have a minimum amount of 10 rubles loaded in the card. The maximum amount allowed on the card is not yet established.
• University Students Card : Just like the previous card, it offers a way of saving money compared to buying tokens. It offers you to save even more money than by using the Single Ride Card. This card offers a ride for 13 rubles (0.23 USD) instead of the usual 25 rubles per ride. The card has a price of 75 rubles (1.30 USD), which need to be paid on the ticket booths alongside a certification of enrollment from a university. The card will always need to have a minimum amount of 10 rubles loaded within it.
• School Card : This card offers a reduced price for all trips on the metro, since each trip costs 13 rubles (0.23 USD) instead of the usual 25 rubles per trip. The card’s price is 50 rubles (0.87 USD), which need to be paid in any of the ticket booths. To obtain this card, you will need to be an elementary school or secondary school student with a certificate of enrollment. Also, you will need to always have a minimum amount of 10 rubles loaded into the card.
• Unlimited University Students Card : this card is ideal for any university student that uses the metro with frequency. It is an unlimited ride subscription that offers the user unlimited journeys for an entire month for a price of 650 rubles (11.32 USD.) Meanwhile, the price of the card is 75 rubles, which need to be paid on the ticket booths. Also, it is required that you show a certificate of enrollment of any higher education institution (universities, technical colleges, etc.) to acquire this card.
• Unlimited School Card : It is the most convenient way of payment for all students in elementary schools and secondary schools, since they use the Samara Metro service daily. The card offers unlimited rides for a month with a single payment of 500 rubles (8.71 USD.) Also, the user needs a certificate of enrollment from the elementary or secondary school that they are currently attending. Likewise, they will need to pay the card’s fare, which is 5 rubles.
• Social Card : People who qualify for a Social Card will be able to get 60 monthly trips for 270 rubles (4.70 USD.) Since this card is given to help people living on welfare, they will not need to pay for the card. The card will be given for free.
• Unlimited Single Ride Card : This card is available for any citizen for any citizen, and offers unlimited rides for a single payment. This subscription has a price of 1600 rubles (27.86 USD,) which need to be paid on the ticket booths. Also, you will need to pay the cost of the card, which is 100 rubles.

Besides these subscriptions, there is a list of people who have the possibility of travelling for free on the Samara Metro. People who can use the metro for free are the following:

• Children under 7 years of age.
• Veterans from the old USSR.
• Russian Veterans.
• Officers who received the Order of Glory decoration.
• Social work heroes.
• Honorary citizens from Samara.

The Samara Metro has state-of-the-art security services. Security is divided into the following three categories:

• 1. Railway traffic security : To achieve this form of surveillance, the qualified operative personnel periodically checks the system’s trains to look for possible flaws that could be harmful to the well-being of the passengers. Also, the security personnel monitors the performance of the vehicles while they move, and proceeds to take action in case of malfunctions.
• 2. Checking and maintenance of the facilities to avoid potential dangers : this security unit is in charge of making sure that the equipment works properly within the metro’s facilities, since this equipment could be dangerous for the passengers if they malfunction. This security staff has a special focus on the escalators, since they commonly malfunction. Since the creation of this security staff, escalator-related accidents within the metro system have been reduced, since there have been none during the last two years.
• 3. Inspection of items carried by passengers that could be dangerous : following the regulations to prevent terrorist attacks, the Samara Metro authorities have created plans to guarantee the safety of its passengers, such as using undercover agents that monitor any suspicious behavior.

Future expansions

Currently, a second line is being built for the Samara Metro, which will complement line 1. The project consists of the construction of 9.57 kilometers of railway and six stations. The names for these stations have already been assigned.

Although the project was announced on 2013, it was not until 2015 when a national construction company finally got the concession to initiate the construction. Currently, there is no planned inauguration date for line 2. There are very high expectations for this line, since it will give transportation to the people in the highly populated neighborhoods in the city.

Likewise, the Samara authorities have discussed the possibility of building a third line, but there is not a lot of information available about it yet. In any case, its construction would begin after line 2 is finished.

Russian Metros: A Look at the Samara Metro

The city of samara.

Located in the Southeast of the Russian Federation, Samara is a vibrant city with over 3 million residents in its metropolitan area. It stands as the 6th most industrialized city in the country, making it a significant player in the manufacturing sector.

During the Soviet Union era, between 1935 and 1991, the city was known as Kuibyshev, in honor of a notable Soviet politician. Throughout this period, the city played a crucial role in the Space Race between the USSR and the United States, hosting factories that produced components for rockets and satellites.

This aspect greatly influenced Samara’s future development, attracting a myriad of engineers, scientists, and scholars interested in space exploration. Consequently, the population surged significantly in the second half of the 20th century.

As the population increased, the city administration had to restructure the region’s transportation infrastructure, particularly the public transit systems.

The Samara Metro

In response to this, the central Soviet Union government approved the construction of a metro service in 1980 to cater to the city’s transportation needs. Feasibility studies were conducted, validating the project, and construction began in 1982. After five years of work, the Samara Metro was inaugurated in 1987.

Today, the metro system features one line with 10 stations, covering a total distance of 12 kilometers. The stations are notably beautiful in their internal architecture, a characteristic common to metros of the former Soviet Union. Despite its small size, the Samara Metro maintains a high ridership, ferrying around 44,000 passengers daily.

Schedule and frequency

With the purpose of satisfying the transportation demand of the Samara citizens, the subway system offers its services for a generous period of time. Its business hours are from 6:00 am and midnight. Service is generally available all week long. However, it is possible that the stations close for a period of 24 hours during occasions when maintenance works are necessary.

There are trains available during a frequency between 10 and 12 minutes all day long. Unlike many other similar railway services, the Samara Metro does not offer additional trains during peak hours. The rail cars drive at an average speed of 34 kilometers per hour. Therefore, a journey between the Yungorodok terminal station and Alabinskaya station lasts only 21 minutes.

Fares, Tickets, and Cards

The standard fare for a ride on the Samara Metro is currently set at 25 rubles (equivalent to $0.43). Plastic tokens that act as tickets for a one-way or round-trip journey can be purchased at ticket booths within the stations.

In 2009, electronic cards were introduced as an alternative to the plastic tokens. These cards, which can be purchased at ticket booths within the metro stations, offer more flexibility with regards to the number of trips and also provide discounts for university and high school students. Here is a summary of the pricing and types of tickets and cards available for the Samara Metro:

• Token: This is the standard form of fare payment for the metro system. It can be used for a single trip or a round trip. The fare for the token is the same as the fare for the metro trip, which is 25 rubles.
• Single Ride Card: With this card, passengers can enjoy a slight discount on their trips, as each trip costs 23 rubles ($0.40) instead of the usual 25 rubles. While there is an additional cost for the card itself, it can still save passengers money over time. The card costs 100 rubles ($1.74), and it must always maintain a minimum balance of 10 rubles. The maximum balance limit for the card is not yet established.
• University Students Card: This card offers a significant discount for university students, as each trip costs 13 rubles ($0.23) instead of the usual 25 rubles. The card itself costs 75 rubles ($1.30), and a certificate of enrollment from a university is required to purchase it. This card also requires a minimum balance of 10 rubles.
• School Card: This card offers a reduced fare of 13 rubles ($0.23) per trip for students in elementary and secondary schools.

• Unlimited University Students Card: Ideal for university students who frequently use the metro, this card offers unlimited rides for an entire month for a single payment of 650 rubles ($11.32). The card costs 75 rubles, and a certificate of enrollment from a higher education institution (universities, technical colleges, etc.) is required for purchase.
• Unlimited School Card: This card is highly convenient for students in elementary and secondary schools who use the metro daily. It offers unlimited rides for a month with a single payment of 500 rubles ($8.71). To acquire this card, a certificate of enrollment from an elementary or secondary school is required, along with a payment of 5 rubles for the card.
• Social Card: Qualified individuals can get 60 monthly trips for 270 rubles ($4.70). Since this card is provided to aid people living on welfare, the card itself is provided for free.
• Unlimited Single Ride Card: Available to any citizen, this card offers unlimited rides for a single payment of 1600 rubles ($27.86). The cost of the card, 100 rubles, must be paid at the ticket booth.

• Veterans of the former USSR.
• Russian Veterans.
• Recipients of the Order of Glory decoration.
• Social work heroes.

The Samara Metro boasts advanced security measures divided into three key categories:

• Railway Traffic Security: This category of security entails periodic system checks by qualified personnel to detect any flaws that could pose a threat to passenger safety. The security personnel also monitor the operation of the vehicles while in motion, taking action in the case of malfunctions.
• Checking and Maintenance of Facilities: This security unit ensures the proper functioning of equipment within the metro’s facilities, as equipment malfunction could pose a threat to passengers. A particular focus is placed on escalator function, which has led to a reduction in escalator-related accidents over the past two years.
• Passenger Item Inspection: To prevent potential terrorist attacks, the Samara Metro authorities have implemented measures to guarantee passenger safety, such as deploying undercover agents to monitor suspicious behavior.

Future Expansions

At present, the construction of a second line for the Samara Metro is underway. This new line, which will complement the first line, comprises 9.57 kilometers of railway and six stations, all of which have already been named.

The project was first announced in 2013, but it was not until 2015 when a national construction company finally won the concession to commence construction. Currently, there is no set inauguration date for line 2, but expectations are high, as it will serve highly populated neighborhoods in the city.

Moreover, the Samara authorities have discussed the potential construction of a third line, although details on this proposal are still scarce. It is clear, however, that any construction on a third line would commence only after the completion of line 2.

Connection to the Airport

While there is no direct connection between the Samara Metro and the Kurumoch International Airport, passengers can utilize other transportation services to reach the airport. For instance, one can take the metro to Bezymyanka station and then board a line 78 bus to the airport. The bus stop is conveniently located just outside the station.

To travel from the airport to Bezymyanka, simply follow the same route in reverse: board a line 78 bus at the bus stop outside the airport and alight at Bezymyanka to catch the metro into the city.
