Thanks, Adam, for posting the News Release.
What I'd like everyone to be aware of also is this: Not everyone sees these
news releases. They are not automatically emailed to everyone, and are not up
on the StarMetro page. In fact, this new schedule will only be published ON THE
INTERNET "by 6pm on Sunday, July 31"-- apparently there will be no printed
material with the specifics handed or available to customers UNTIL MONDAY
MORNING!! And even then, my understanding is that the fliers will only be
distributed on the routes effected-- so if that's not your first bus... guess
you'll be reading about the changes while you're standing on the side of the
road somewhere...
We all know a large percentage of bus riders do not have internet access at
home.
If a service you used-- not optionally, but to maintain your employment-- was
changed without notice, wouldn't you be upset??
Please COMPLAIN, if not for the changes to a bus system you may or may not
use, then for the injustice of jerking people around. Let's hope they would
never pull something like this with other city services... In fact, let's make
certain they don't!!
Delores Downy is a Citizen Advocate for the Mayor and City Commission. She
may be reached after 9am at 891-8200.
While the Mayor and City Commission are "on break" until August 15th, they
apparently DO check in. Hopefully the volume of messages on their desks will
compel them to act positively.
You may also contact M'LIsa Ingram at MLisa.Ingram@xxxxxxxxxx or 891-8179;
she will return to the office Tuesday, August 2.
