Not to get into it further, nellie, but I have talked to Bruce, so I actually do know what I’m talking about. You and I just differ on this. Apparently, you didn’t learn that lesson about speaking when you don’t know the facts well enough.

I love this idea and I’ve seen it work in a couple of places–a beach community in the summer and in the Seattle downtown area. Tourists seem to be the mainstay of the ridership although plenty of non-tourist use the free shuttles too. I wonder if this would get enough ridership to justify the cost. Perhaps if Decatur’s tourist efforts yield and increasing number of visitors……….

If only we had a Decatur shuttle that would run from the Square to the Oakhurst business district or, ideally, circulate through various points around town, we wouldn’t need a big parking lot *or* street parking. *sigh*

Sorry for the off-topic, but does anyone else remember the Hi-Five shuttle that operated in the mid-90s(?) between the commercial district of Virginia-Highland and the middle of Little Five Points? I think it cost a dollar to ride or something and only operated in the evenings.

Which happens to be used in a lot of cases by homeowners as their only available parking, Marty. As someone who lives very close to the “business district” and often finds my only parking taken, I say let’s not assume this option pleases everyone in the neighborhood. Many of us are pushing for resident only parking and speed bumps.
