Yes, the bus company is doing the best they can to minimize the damaging
effect of the cuts.

But why was it "inevitably required?" Gov. Wanker targeted the bus
system while he was County Executive. The declines in service started
as soon as he got into office. It was immediate and the effects were
harsh and severe, as they were meant to be.

It WOULD have been possible to avoid making any cuts at all, but the
Wanker chose to lard the budget with corporate giveaways -- all under
the sacred mantra of 'job creation' -- that have not really created
any jobs at all.

But if the jobs that are available go to suburban residents -- the
ones who 'need cars the least' -- that will be of greater benefit to
the Republican Party. As opposed to jobs going to the Democrats who
live in the city.
