I think they might be trying to save on gas by that?
But I think the transit could become the most popular thing
in town if they
had a lot more buses and urbanized the whole town in that way
by stopping
every where like crazy.
People would jump on the bus just to ride a couple of blocks
over to do
anything and everything and,
many just for the joy of taking a bus ride and possibly
meeting, on board,
some one they never met before.
It seems like they only want business callers on board.
I guess maybe that is just to industrious of a thought for
the territory,
but,
it would make those bus drivers a lot more important to
everyone here,
children and all!
Run Run Run!
Let's city up Tallahassee!
