It’s a really nasty spiral. People don’t take the bus because it’s unreliable, it loses some funding and becomes more unreliable, more people stop taking the bus because it’s even less reliable, it loses even more funding bc of still lower ridership, etc. And that’s assuming there even IS a bus.

Yeah, the city “patched” pot holes in our alley by dumping piles of asphalt in, then leaving them without tamping anything down. So we still had huge holes, but with big lumps of asphalt in the middle. It was eventually pushed down as cars drove them and now, a few months later, we’re back to having huge potholes. How huge? Some people have chucked bricks in, full size bricks, as filler. I keep meaning to contact our alderman about it.
