"...our bus system is a joke."

Citizens here need better public transit - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "Whether it’s completely unannounced changes to the already unreliable schedule, phantom buses that never come or, my latest favorite, the bus that comes between the old and the new scheduled times, our bus system is a joke.

Local officials should be embarrassed by how poorly our transportation system runs and should be working earnestly to improve it. Road construction is constant in the city; why aren’t similar improvements to public transportation ever a top priority?"
