At no point did they use buses (or any other mass transit system) to try to get people *out* of the city.

Then I was mistaken in saying city buses to take them out of the city.

But they certainly PLANNED for it, which was the not what the original statement said.

Oh, they planned for it. They just tossed that part of the plan out the window (or forgot it) because it wasn't convenient. Bottom line:

1. They used city buses to move people to "shelters of last resort" which were NOT prepared ahead of time as opposed to collection centers where they would transfer to other buses and get out of the city.
2. No attempt was ever made to use any mass transit system to get people out of the way.
3. The buses which were supposed to be used to move people were left to flood in marshalling yards and service lots.
4. The city buses which could also have been used were left to flood.
5. When the "shelters" filled up, the people were diverted to other places that were NOT on the shelter possibility lists.
6. Through incompetence, stupidity, and laziness, the Democrats left 250,000 people to die.
