RTA raises fares

Recently Roldo has hammered away at the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority for raising fares and cutting the circulator busses.   The head of the RTA indicated that they needed to save money to make their budget.  

This afternoon, on Payne, behind the Greyhound station, there was a constant queue of about 8 or 10 busses idling - while - I assume - they waited for their schedule to role around on the clock. 

You can see there are the so called "Health Line" million dollar busses waiting, as well as the conventional Diesel busses.   Lots of idle money in rolling stock and man hours here.

This is a huge waste of money. The lower image (bus fronts) was taken Monday, October 12, 2009 at about 4:30PM.  The upper image (bus rears) is from about 5pm on October 14, 2009.   I was in the area for a half and hour each visit and there were lots of busses hanging out the entire time.
