Cutting Bus Service on Sunday?
If this goes through, it could have some significant repercussions, especially in an election year..

I drive, but I distinctly remember my years when I didn't.. and the difficulty of getting to various places by bus, especially during evening hours, late hours, and weekends.. I remember being a kid in Gary, IN, when the decision was made to cut all bus service on Sundays.. it was interminably frustrating..
At the very least, Bing needs to look at maintaining the most frequently used routes, and cut back on the number of buses a day..
and to think how people constantly harp against having light rail projects here..
cutting bus servce on sunday?
Will all of the buses will not run on Sundays or some of the lines? Detroit has missed the boat many of times for mass transit to come into the city. The leaders had rather put money into roads. Cars drives on roads. Cars that had been produced by the BIG THREE which controlled and ran Detroit and her leaders. We don't even have an express bus that would take you to the airport from downtown non-stop. Until the leaders get out of the pockets of the Automobile company Detroiters will continue to see the demise in the transportation system. Michigan, in 2005 was suppose to had the first stage of Mass Transit running. The amtrak train track was to be used. A smaller car would had been running on that track when amtrak wasn't using it. The car was to take you from New Center area to the airport area. A month before the big event; someone from the state had said that a hold was put on it's starting date.I don't see Granholm, Bing or anyone else doing anything to improve transit or get mass transit in detroit or michigan period. T;hey are in the back pocket of people or corporations whom doesn't want to see it yet. Look up Detroit's Subways. That will tell you the history of the city's plight on getting mass transit
