LAST NIGHT, a METRO bus driver crashed into an empty building to avoid a car running a red light.
Neal Meyer noticed an interesting fact in the reporting:
No passengers were on the bus or riding in the Infiniti at the time of the crash.
No riders were on the bus around 7pm last night? Why not?
Seriously — transit usage continues to plummet in town. Perhaps the New METRO needs to consider why usage is down, even though population is increasing and the economy isn’t exactly humming. Since Mike Snyder opined two months ago that all METRO’s credibility problems had been solved, surely it’s time to start tackling the main task of moving more citizens about the city.
