1. The Feds subsidize some small airline routes so that there will be service available

They do not do that for buses. With the cost of fuel etc, if routes are uneconomic, they will not be served. Having been to Four Corners recently, I can see why it is uneconomic.

3. That's going to be tough on Durango, especially

and on all the Navajos who ride the dog in for medical treatment in Farmington.

Trailways also services part of this area, maybe they'll pick up at least part of it.

4. Cortez has an airport.

Hitchhikers are going to become a greater road hazard for local traffic, though.
