With all the falling-over-each-other going on to give bus riders incentives to do what 95% of them are probably going to do anyways, I have one question:
Given that I am one of the approximately 4 in 5 city residents who do not take the bus; and
Given that I am a taxpayer and therefore subsidized this bus service before, during, and after the strike; and
Given that I was just as inconvenienced with traffic and weather delays, lost opportunities, and other general misery as everyone else in this city; and
Given that I am a taxpayer and am therefore on the hook for the cost over-runs of the aformentioned service and incentives:
WHERE IS YOUR CONCERN FOR MY VALUE FOR MONEY?
Thank you for your time.
