Survey SAYS...

The bus route STAYS! Wohoo! (work with me here...at least TRY to sound excited!)

Yes, it's hard to believe, I know. We had one of the powers-that-be ride the bus today and we got the good news. I guess they got pretty beat up over cancelling the route without even TRYING to keep it...at least that's the impression we got. They're trying to add a new city to the destination that will encourage more riders (thanks to a friend of mine and me pushing it). That'll mean that our schedule will change "slightly". We'll also have to suffer a 35% rate increase, but HEY!...no one's complaining. If they do, well then they can just drive in and suffer a 400% rate increase.

It's true...it costs 4X as much to drive in as take the limo (bus)...yet we can't find enough riders. Not sure what's up with that. Maybe 10$ a gallon will make people budge out of the drivers seat. Maybe not.

We haven't received any official notification, of course. Nothing in writing. Yet in faith I proclaim "the cancellation of our bus route is cancelled!". It was a good fight. I'm pretty much exhausted. Anyone see my ear plugs? I can't wait for the ride in tomorrow.
