This is slightly off topic as it pertains to public busses in a major ND town where we go to shop often. I took notice a couple years ago that the numerous busses the city has running around has zero passengers and makes no pickup or drop off stops. Every time I see one of those public busses it’s empty except for the driver. It’s such a waste of resources that it must be federally subsidized to keep such a scam going. Public transportation is such a joke.
