Bing to cut bus services

[JVLIVS]

My rough calculation is that it would be a $4.25 fare per ride. That would really go over well.

That might as well be a gallon of gas-which could go a heck of a lot longer than a mere bus ride.....

Just one man's opinion!

Jvlis,
Are you advocating $4.25 per gallon for gasoline as a way to encourage use of mass transportation? Raise taxes on gas and use the proceeds to subsidize the busses?

Detroitmale - you got it! Outsource DPL and DPW to get the work done and the utility systems up to a state of moderate good repair... indeed lights out for years, poles lying and fouling sidewalks, repairs not being made, potholes not being repaired....

Some folks just want to create DOOM for Detroit, the suburbs and its citizens. That's the cost of capitalism. When GREED gets into the hearts of men, corporations die and so regionalization.

Now for cutting D-Dot bus service, its a terrible ideal. Detroiters will put up a recall notice for Bing and others. However Mayor Bing is just a former old 60 year old Detroit Piston Basketball Player with economic skills and NO political priciples. You Detroiters pick him so deal with it. It's better to have a guy who do can risky business than to have a guy who can throw Manoogian parties. Most Detroiters and suburbanites are still living in darkness and isolationism rather than going for the light and progress. Detroit is what it is today because we the people have created this xenophobic and corrupted mess.

Detroit will NEVER going to be like New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Atlanta, Washington D.C. Portland, Buffalo, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Franicisco, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Boston, Philadephia, St Paul. Half my family left Detroit to Seattle because they like the way the city is handling them. But I'm staying until the opportunity comes. Even I have to suffer through the Ghettos of Detroit dodging spookies, DEAD [[C)KRAK HEADS and po'folks and schizoblacks and mutants. Everyone get use to it. Detroit is one Great Depression city. We're stuck in the year 1929 while the U.S. is in its 21st century [[2009). The ONLY way to fix this city is the people with clean hearts. The people must change for themselves first, then they can change their neighborhood and take action.
