People must be crazy! When fuel prices are over $3.50 per gallon you will be looking for affordable transit. These buses serve this community and its people 6 days a week with clean, comfortable transportation to all major shopping in the area as well as connections to all major BCT bus routes. Also the number of riders that is posted in the article is way off, I happen to know that this service carried 161,000 riders last year when fuel prices soared, this year it is on pace to carry over 140,000 riders. The elderly on fixed incomes and the residents that make sound decisions based on their economic position to use mass transit need these buses not to mention our children that ride the bus everyday during the school year because they live to close to get a school board bus. So lets put our moms and dads out there to find other ways to get around and lets let our children walk down 441 or Atlantic Blvd. Why don't we just raise the fare enough to help offset the budget and keep this service so that the people that need it can have it.
