I thought I had a handle on what was going on with SMART&DDOT but after being told a couple of different stories I'm not sure anymore.
I was told by SMART the service reductions were because of financial problems within SMART. Since then I've been told different tales by different drivers.One SMART bus driver told me the cuts were because SMART simply didn't have money to continue to service Detroit full time. Another driver told me cuts were because many SMART drivers,and higher ups at SMART,didn't want to continue servicing the city on full a full time/regular schedule basis.Just last week I was told yet another version by a SMART driver.This driver told me the SMART service reductions were due to the city of Detroit not having the money to renew it's contract with SMART.
All of these stories leave me confused so I ask you,what's the truth here? Why has SMART drastically reduced it's service within the city of Detroit.
Thanks in advance.
