Okay, let me get this straight...we don't have a decent bus system, but we want to make sure people have an easy way to get to clubs & entertainment? Here's a radical thought...if people can't get to work, they won't have any money to go to clubs, restaurants, the Aquarium, the Zoo (since I'm still boycotting it, not a problem for me!), etc.
DH & I work in Owasso. I actually work for the company that Kathy Taylor's husband owns...no, I haven't seen her here...or him, either, for that matter - though a few others have...where's my Medlock for Mayor bumper sticker when I need it! My DH works for Verizon Business (formerly MCI, formerly World Com, formerly LDDS World Com...) & he is visually impaired so doesn't drive. Before we got married almost 5 years ago, he depended on Tulsa Transit to get to & from work...until 2003. At that time, TT decided there weren't enough people who worked out @ Cherokee Industrial Park to justify a shuttle out here. Thankfully (for my DH), we were married by then, so I drove him to & from work every day -- which was not much of a problem, until gas skyrocketed...QT & I become good friends, as I still worked in Tulsa at the time. In 2004, I was hired on by Vanguard (aforementioned company), so I only had to drive from Tulsa to Owasso once a day. Of course, shortly after they cut that shuttle, they started one to the Aquarium...again, someone explain to me how people will be able to afford to go there if they can't get to work! Mind you, there were several people on the route who took the bus out of necessity (disabled, didn't have a car, etc.) I'm so not enjoying the commercial I've seen w/the lady that comes from BA to Tulsa to & from work on TT. TT, you might want to consider reinstating the shuttle to Cherokee...we've gained an additional 700 employees @ Vanguard, thank you very much!
Just something to ponder...
