Probably no two people living on a given street also work at the same business location. <BR/><BR/>The quickest and most efficient bus routes travel on the main roads into downtown Youngstown. We should do everything possible to create a viable downtown which includes shopping opportunities like grocery stores, drug stores, shoe stores and more. For now, we must go out of our way to support the daytime businesses in downtown Youngstown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496138704281070741.post-91309022081190661702009-03-11T19:11:00.000-07:002009-03-11T19:11:00.000-07:00Yes.There is a difference between riding the bus f...Yes.<BR/>There is a difference between riding the bus for an adventure and struggling to get to work or to go to the doctors or the grocers. We realize this.<BR/><BR/>AND by more people riding the bus more often, there will hopefully be more frequent buses and we can collectively begin to think about a city and region with more convenient mass transit, reduce our car time and build community!<BR/><BR/>Our bus driver Armando was wonderful!susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863589101412905491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496138704281070741.post-74793573668389319492009-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:002009-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:00Anonymous, as someone who rides the bus regularly,...Anonymous, as someone who rides the bus regularly, I'd like to say that even unfriendly drivers (who are the exception, rather than the rule) will be curtious enough to help out a new rider.<BR/><BR/>Also, at least half of the "regular" passengers on this particular bus were also white, though I fail to see why that should make a difference.<BR/><BR/>I will agree that more schedules are needed at the station and on the buses, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496138704281070741.post-30854532900835671942009-03-09T12:43:00.000-07:002009-03-09T12:43:00.000-07:00Congratulations to those who don't usually ri...Congratulations to those who don't usually ride the buses , but made the effort . However , the reality of the scheduled bus runs is much different to a charter trip with one's friends & acquaintances . Friendly drivers are a rarity . So are white passengers (I'm white). It's good to have shelters & timetables at the central station in West federal Street , but they are also needed on the bus routes .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496138704281070741.post-4840931875461902822009-03-08T11:52:00.000-07:002009-03-08T11:52:00.000-07:00Yes, the WRTA bus/lunch gathering was a great star...Yes, the WRTA bus/lunch gathering was a great start to another positive thing for Youngstown.<BR/>As a photographer it was a great opportunity. For me, having a camera affords me a great way to meeting people and is a tool to aid in learning something new. It was really good to meet so many positive people and share some time thinking about other ways to improve life here at home and to show others that it is us who will reinvent Youngstown.<BR/> Where do we go on the next bus ride?
