I relied on the bus for a couple years to get to campus and it wasn't terribly pleasant, reliable, or timely (caveat: I was on the route used by Urbana middle school students and rode the bus the same time as all the kids, which probably had something to do with the various forms of unpleasantness). That said,the MTD fills an EXTREMELY important need in this community and I've never had any doubt that they do the best they can.\n\n\nThen, today, I read this: http://www.newsgazette.com/news/local/2009/04/09/no_mtd_service_planned_this_sunday\n\nPublic transportation is being suspended in observance of a religious holiday. Are you freakin' kidding me? Sorry to all of you who rely on the MTD to get to work, the grocery store, to visit family or even go to church. You won't be doing it this Sunday."^^ .
