article says it is the result of a “national sample of 800 people”....no doubt all of them standing in the rain at bus stops in front of the Welfare Office.

800 is a small sample, doesn’t sound like a scientific poll

This poll is as good as if it an on line poll by Salon.com.

The only person here at FR that would have been positive on a poll like this is Willie Green.

Thanks, I was ready to say BS re this study. Then, you did this great job above.

In spite of all the green publicity about how great it is to ride on a dirty bus, driven by someone who hates their job and their riders, we see very few people riding our local buses. The buses are out making their rounds faithfully about 10-12 hours per day with few if any riders.

Our “free” trolley which ran from the outlets to down town and to other sites around downtown was discontinued because few people used it.

We, our grand kids, grand nephews/nieces and adult visitors liked the trolley and so did visitors. It was clean and the drivers acted like they enjoyed the job. The trolley was dced shortly after the meltdown hit.
