BATA is essential for people who are poor, medically unable to drive (vision, seizures...) and young adults who can not afford a car and need jobs that pay and the ability to get to them. No nights and weekends to rural citizens is challenging to gain good employment without a car. You (Bob) and your neighbors should use public transit to save on fossil fuels and more cars on the road. People in DC, NYC and other places never even learn to drive

Bob, do you know anyone that is a senior, or handicapped and can't drive? BATA offers many services that you are not noticing. There are many people that live in the area that don't drive. The fixed routes help get those people to stores, doctors appointments, banks and so much more. With the lifts and the handicap access to the buses, people who wouldn't other wise be able to get out can actually get out and enjoy their lives. This helps the downtown restaurants and stores in the area too. BATA is there for our community. You BOB are not the whole community.

I think one of the best things BATA could do is send their drivers to Driving School again! Those large BATA buses roar around town hitting the breaks at the last minute. They tail gate, and in my opinion are agressive. Maybe that works in Chicago but not here in TVC.

Bob, if you actually rode the bus you'd know there are far more than just a couple riders. I ride BATA and I assure you that many people use it. Just because you don't notice them doesn't mean they don't exist.

What a joke the whole BATA boondoggle is! How much of BATA operation is taxpayer money.99%? A grant from the feds &/or state is tax money (taken from someone). The couple of riders that use BATA & pay fares wouldn't even pay for the fuel the 70 buses use. & 135 employees? I've paid over $100 a year (millage/tax)for the last 5 years or more and have never used the system once. & 2 my knowledge, none of my neighbors have either. Scrap it & give each of the couple of riders a car and driver and we all save money. We (fed,state,local) are BROKE. Stop the waste of more money!
