To the individual who asks why he pays taxes for public transportation, I ask him why I pay taxes for roads and highways to which I have limitted access at best? AStraying a bit from the local, why are any of us paying for that stupid "hsr"? As to microtransit, your worthless transit agency took my access to the busses years ago when you canceled the service along Whittendale east of Mooney! We in this home, which we own and on which we pay a hefty tax bill, we might as well stick with Uber and Lyft! We'd pay ten dollars for what using your service? Esentially, we pay a few dollars more for a more efficient service! Cut the price in half and it might be a consideration! Firstly, I am a blind person, a tax payer and an active individual!
