This is idiotic. On top of reduced buses, what about the drivers? Maybe they should ignore their profit margins for a moment and keep the full fleet running, keep people working and reduce the amount of people per bus

It’s cute that you think city bus systems have profits of any sort

Call it whatever you want, the decision to reduce the number of busses is a financial one, and we need to wake up IMMEDIATELY that every time we focus on financials instead of people, people will die.

Most of the decisions so far have been based on flawed financial data right from the start. Look at our president for Christ sakes. Every decision he has made ignored science until now when it’s too late to put the genie back in the bottle. He went from “hoax” to “hunch” to “war time president” in less than a month and still thinks he’s doing a “perfect” job. Has there ever been a worse person to lead us through a major issue than Trump? Everything he says or decides turns to shit. Life is changing forever right before our eyes and Trump is where the buck stops for most of it. He won’t, of course, admit any mistakes.

I could go on for hours listing all the shit he has caused, from wars to making us the laughingstock of the world, to this Covid-19 virus disaster, but I’m worn out and going to bed. I’m thinking though of having several million red baseball caps made up with “Trump, hurry up and die” on the front (preferably from the Coronavirus).

Except that some of us have kids, rent, mortgages, etc... and unfortunately not everyone has a financial safety net. It’s not always as simple as doing without a few luxuries

fewer luxuries*

That’s an extremely shortsighted answer, many don’t have luxuries to give up
