Subject: $360,000 to bus 4 people on 40 passenger bus to Chapel Hill
Have you seen that empty Chapel Hill bus running up and down 15-501 between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill.
Wondered if anyone was actually riding that thing? Wondered how much it costs and who was picking up the tab?
Well, the Chatham News reports that Pittsboro Express bus running up to Chapel Hill is averaging only 23 riders per day.
With six bus runs each day that works out to less than 4 people per bus.
Wondered how much it costs and who was picking up the tab?
The cost for this money pit is $360,000 and it’s taxpayer money!
It’s money that probably could have been better spent on improving Pittsboro’s water system instead of footing the bill to benefit a couple dozen people.
Don’t forget that the BIG Pittsboro Express advocate is our mayor Randy Voller.
