A lost opportunity

Bus cuts are on the way, and they are going to affect those with limited mobility options, as well as those in the suburbs who are taking another look at buses due to the high cost of fuel. These cuts are on top of a fare increase earlier this summer.

The story notes that the transportation bill vetoed by the governor would have made these cuts unnecessary, which once again represents a missed opportunity to improve the transportation infrastructure in this area. It also quotes Republican Phil Krinkie for some strange reason, because he is certainly no friend to transit.

I honestly don't get people who think that it is better for the dozens of people riding a bus to and from work to each get in their cars and drive. One bus, or another thirty cars to share the road with? You decide.
