Well next week is when the new bus rules officially take place. They finally put a notice on the on line paper about it.They told how we now need to schedule rides 24 hrs in advance. Odd though not one word was mentioned about how they will now limit the amount of things we can bring on the bus.

Well you know I just had to point that out! So in the comment section I posted: One thing that was omitted and riders need to be aware of is there is now a limit on the amount and size of things allowed on the buses. I will now have to order the majority of my groceries on line since my life will not fit into the two tote bags allowed and the bus is my ONLY means of transportation! I cannot afford to make a dozen trips toget what I used to get in a few trips each month.

I thought about adding more but figured that should give them something to chew on for now.

Good move! Save the rest for later!

Did you ever get that letter mailed to the boss's Boss?

Fingers crossed for things to work out great!

It's outrageous they're going through with it. There's gotta be others who have protested. Did you write to the papers?

Everyone over sixty should have free transportation, like in England - or at least half price! Over here, we get half price once we pass 65.

Oh, a new fun (NOT) wrinkle has been added. I called to schedule a trip for next Thursday morning at 8:30 am. Now we have to schedule the time we want to be picked up to come home too. I told her in an hour. She said no that she now needs the exact time!!! I told her well, that depends on when I get out there because sometimes they pick up other riders. Nope still MUST give time to come home. So I told her 10am.

That means I'll have to have my list made out in advance for sure and rush from one end of Walmart to the other to make sure I get what I can and get checked out to be ready for the bus to pick me up. Since that will be pay week for lots of people, Walmart will be busy and since I walk with a cane, it takes me a while to get from one end of it to the other. BARF!!!!!

I am waiting for all this to get in place before I send my letter to BOSS MAN's BOSS!!! They keep insisting this is the way it works for the other lines they manage and they have had no complaints. Well, so sorry to spoil their record but they will be getting one from me!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!

If you get any response to your complaint on the online newspaper, you might want to give other interested people the BMB address!

GO GET 'EM, SISTER!
