Have you heard? The city is planning to stop the shuttle bus service. |
R |
: |
What a shame. Some people depend on it to get around. |
M |
: |
Not enough people do, apparently. Itʼs been in the red for quite a while. |
R |
: |
Has it, now. Fares donʼt cover gas and wages? |
M |
: |
No. Very few people ride it. |
K |
: |
The city should pay the difference. Some elderly people canʼt drive. They need that service. |
M |
: |
I donʼt know. If the city does that, they will have to take funding away from public schools for it. |
K |
: |
The schools? Even now our school doesnʼt have enough sports equipment. |
R |
: |
I agree. Less money to the schools would be a disaster. But, I wish there were a way. |
S |
: |
How about raising the money somehow? |
K |
: |
What a great idea! We could hold a fund-raising event. |
R |
: |
That sounds lovely. Iʼm sure everyone will want to take part. |
