[quote user="rrnut282"]<p>. Without the connections, the network is of lesser value to everyone, making funding MUCH LESS likely.</p><p> </p><p>The glass may be empty, but at least now someone is thinking about filling it up.<span class="smiley">[:)]</span></p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Well that's just the thing, rrnut282 . Remember when Amtrak was removed from Fort Wayne, and they offered bus service to connect at waterloo? Where is that bus, today?</p><p>"The bus connection" is just a ploy, IMO, to make people who aren't getting train service, think that they are, at least through some convolution.</p><p>All those squiggley lines offering a bus connection is just a ploy to get taxpayer support from people who otherwise wouldn't want to open up the pocketbook.</p><p>In fact, if you look at the proposed bus routes between Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Indy, and FW, Doesn't that seem a little out of hand? It would seem to me that the connections from Dayton to Lima and from Datyton to Indy serve very little purpose, unless we are offering high speed bus service too</p><p>Wonder if riding just the bus from Dayton to columbus is an option? </p><p> That is why I suspect the bus routes proposed are just a political way to play "connect the dots" with the taxpayer base </p><p> </p><p>Do you think that people living in the affected areas could ever reneg on the obligation to help fund the project if the promised bus connection is ever terminated? fair is fair.<br /> </p>
