In bigger cities having some kind of bus system is a great thing. It cuts down on how much pollution cars make. In smaller towns though a bus system wouldn't make as much sense. Maybe it would be better if they had two different bills, one for bigger downs and one for small towns. In a small town advocating for people to ride their bike or walk would be better.
ReplyDeleteThey've got those bikes all around Minneapolis that you can pay a small fee to use I believe! I think it's a great way to increase the alternative ways to get to work so we can decrease traffic and pollution.
