Lisbon Bus Service: Will the People Keep It Running Or Will They start Running After 'Da Bus?

       Lisbon's Bus Service

A Town Council's true effectiveness isn't decided by the number of businesses it can attract or by the number of parades it organizes. It is measured by how  responsive it is to the needs of its residents.

 Our Council  is being given an opportunity  to show  how in touch they are with its residents.

The cut in Lisbons Bus Service causes a serious problem for many people that rely on the service for shopping or transportation to and from work. This problem doesn't have an easy answer for many of our residents that don’t drive.

At last Tuesdays council meeting Lisbon Councilors saved the town over 7000 dollars by securing a very low demolition bid for the work that needs to be done at 3 Village St.  

I feel that savings could best be spent by helping our non-driving residents by supplementing the Lisbon bus service. This expenditure would really make the quality of life immensely better for a lot of our residents

If the Council can spend over 7 thousand dollars in legal fees to temporarily  postpone legal FOAA requests we can surely spend a little to help those affected by this funding cut.

I hope Lisbon Council recognizes how much this relatively small investment would improve the life for so many of Lisbons residents.
