    I bet I could cut 1.6% from the bus system, People Mover, police, fire, and you'd barely even notice. The Woodward bus during the day would run every 8 minutes and 10 seconds instead of every 8 minutes even. Just for example.
    If that were true, why would Bing go to such lengths over $50mm? I truly think Bing's back is against the wall here. As of right now, it looks like all these things will be cut in two weeks time. It will be a strange day the People Mover stops running and Hart Plaza is forever quiet.
