Transportation was on the minds of many last night. Questions regarding the ridership of the bus (should it be free?), cost more, less, etc.
I was recently a bus rider (I had ACL surgery on my knee and was unable to drive for about a month). The bus ride was crowded (a lot of folks use the bus), bumpy (gee, the roads are bad), and pretty efficient, if you have someone picking you up on both ends.
The problem is: once you get there, there you are. Hilo is pretty spread out, so how to get from here to there? Perhaps an Hilo local that links up with the Belt Highway bus to Kona? Zip cars? Zip bikes? Yes, let's encourage bus ridership, and make it easier and more convenient for folks to use.
