There is another alternative, the bus. The little town I live in, Granbury, once had a daily bus service in both directions from Fort Worth to San Antonio along Hwys 377 and 281. Lately, this daily service has become a once a week service. Now we get the news that in September we will lose even this inadequate service. <br /> <br />The only busses earning any money are the charters. Similar to the airline industry, the only airlines earning any money are the short hop airlines, who pick and choose their cherry picked routes. The large airlines that have a hub system and fly into major and minor cities, plus international flights, are all losing money. <br /> <br />The citizens of rural America need to realize that any Scheduled bus service will soon be a thing of the past.... such as Granbury's scheduled bus service.....
