Redefined for whom?

ART stands for Asheville Redefines Transit, but for whom? Certainly not for seniors or the disabled or for parents with small children.

The buses are never on time according to the schedules and can be 15 minutes to an hour late. The worst change is the bus going to Wal-Mart. For those buying groceries there is a block-long walk to the bus stop. Changes are starting, but there need to be more. To complain, call Yuri Koslin, transit project manager, at 232-4522. The more complaints the better for change.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

  1. I couldn’t agree with you more, Lloyd! …and if the reading public has similar views, complain, complain, complain – it’s intolerable at the moment-
