Mass transit is known to be a non-self-supporting exercise of local government operations nation-wide. CTS is to be commended for keepings its expenses wihtin an acceptable range, however, now it is imperative to look at service options that best serve the traveling public and offer good ridership potentials. The Oak Grove Wal-Mart run should not be dropped. Combine it with the newly expanded service to the Great Escape Complex and ridership should prove quite rewarding. That NE corridor has needed improved bus service for many years.

Using smaller buses other than peak hour opertaion is a sane idea and should be investigated.Electric buses are certainly something CTS can pursue thru its FTA/FHA funding schedule.
