...If you missed it, our beloved bus drivers in the East Valley are going on strike, so make alternate plans...

(I use an Express Bus a couple times a week, and would have tomorrow.  Ride my bike in the AM, Bus in the PM)

who controls valley metro?  The state or the cities?  We should just fire the idiots and get cheaper ones.  Lot of people looking for work right now.

Union Parasites.  I agree.  Fire them all.  They can still pay union dues if they want.

Contracted to Veolia transportation, IIRC.  I don't think the state or city has much say outside of the contract.
Tried using the bus when I lived in Tempe. Just not at all reliable.

Oh, I've got a car... and my Avatar, and a Motorcycle... and everyone else on 'my' bus does, too, or at least has the resources for it.  

I just ride my Bicycle a couple times a week for fun and exercise.  But it's nice to be able to pick up the 2-stop Express bus home, and not ride 24 miles in this afternoon heat.  I may suck it up next week, but...

Suck it up.  You need to familiarize yourself with "The Rules"... #5 in particular.

If Reagan could fire ALL of the FAA's air traffic controllers for pulling similar sh*t, who's dropping the ball here?  I mean, we're talking about a few dozen buses, for cryin' out loud

Wish there was a bus service down here - I van pool to work, about 40 miles one way. :) Last bus I rode on was in San Francisco in 1989, going to the airport to come home after getting out of the military. :D
