And about the only thanks to the tax payer is ” YOU ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING!
An absolute blessing and priceless to those communities that need it most. Hopefully, Santa Rosa will get on board too! A way to get around AND to work.
I hope the Residents in these areas will support THEIR transportation system.
And keep this service operating in these areas. The future of the Quintette, Molino, Century areas might look dim now, but I see the future of these communities growing everyday. AND FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT THINK THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES who can live here in the country, you are in for a rude Awakenings.
Bring in the Jobs, bring in the residents, lets build and grow.
I think this is beyond wonderful for these people. Just to be able to have a change of scenery for awhile. It is so hard to give up driving and this service will help encourage those who need to to give up driving. My favorite part is the seatbelt one lady is using. Clean, safe, secure. What a great service.
