Public transit

Very interesting article about places that have decided to do away with charging money for public transportation. Turns out collecting the fares and tickets costs a lot of money.

As the price of gas escalates and people are ever-more aware of the impact of climate change, this is an idea well worth considering. How many car trips in the Town of Woodstock could be avoided by a regular small bus run from the Post Office to Connell Hill?
