More D-DOT Service Cuts Proposed for June 2011

[Danny]

Yes it's going to happen. More D-DOT cuts as the gas prices are high and Detroit lives in doom and gloom MAD MAX SYNDROME every year with no solutions!

Here's what I'm proposing to save D-DOT:

1. Eliminate certian bus routes that has lower ridership.

2. Raise bus fares from $1.50 to $2.00, transfers from $0.25 to $0.50. student fares from $1.00 to $1.25. Students will have to pay for transfers shown. D-DOT bus passes will be raised. Bi-weekly to $16.00, Weekly to $20.00 and Monthly to $70.00.
Senior and disable fares will be raised from $0.50 to $0.60. Child fare will be raised from $0.50 to $0.60. Any child is under 44ft in height [[ with accompany by adult will have to pay) $0.10.

3. Lay-off up from 20 to 40 bus drivers.

4. Eliminate ALL SUNDAY BUS SERVICES COMPLETELY!

5. Reduce all weeknight bus services from Monday to Saturday starting at 10.00pm. Busses will resume services at 6.00am.

5. Reduce bus scheldules to 45 minutes to 1 hour.

6. Propose to privatize D-DOT. Have the EFM, Mayor and City Council oversee bus services and have a representative voice to build political and social relationship between Detroiters, city government and private companies to improve better and safer transit rides.

7. CUT THEIR PAY!!!


WORD FROM THE STREET PROPHET!

Good-bye mass transit, especially light rail. If DARTA IS DEAD! so will our busses.
