so you've managed to maintain a bit of local, democratically accountable control, that's pretty cool and having a major state university probably helped
-
The university's garage is not (afaik) run by First Transit (it also pays its drivers way less, has no union that I know of, and only hires students)
-
yeah it's like that at a lot of schools, i meant that they guarantee both a middle class ridership and political attention that allows pvta to hold onto the power it has instead of being entirely privatized
-
Lol their riders pay no fare and are effectively subsidised by working class riders who ride buses from the other garages; their political influence is restricted solely to their own routes and tends to be "keep service at present levels and don't ask us to pay more"
-
they pay the fare in their tuition whether they ride or not as we all should in our taxes
