Just announced today by: Detroit's City Bus drivers
Because of Proposed City Bus Cuts that will affect:
THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS & BUSINESSES!!!
The cuts include No City Bus Service after 6pm;
No Sunday service AT ALL!
Complete Elimination of several bus lines incluing Oakland, Holbrook & Grand Belt Overall cuts will be done if the masses don't speak up.
Resiednt: THIS IS FOR YOU...if you live in the City Of Detroit, Dearborn, Hamtramck, Highland Park, Southfield, Redford, East Detroit or any Detroit Metropolitan area that depends on the City Bus Line.
BUSINESSES AND OWNERS: THIS IS FOR YOU ...if you are an area Business owner that depend on City of Detroit (DDOT) Bus riding passengers as your clientele... MALL MANAGERS of NORTHLAND MALL, OAKLAND MALL, FAIRLANE MALL AND EASTLAND MALL: This is for you because as a bus rider, I know for a fact that much of your clientel rides the bus. For example: 4 Local bus routes come into FAirlane Mall EVERY DAY; The Southfield, Evergreen, Michigan and Greefield busses. Support your business and come to the Town Hall meetings.
CAR OWNER & OTHER NON-BUS RIDERS: This is for you if you are a co-worker, family member of someone who depends on the city bus line....THIS IS FOR YOU...if you are a PASTOR or have a MINISTRY that depends on bus riding congregants even if your church or ministry has church vehicles to pick some of them up. WHAT ABOUT THE churches or ministries that don't have these vehicles in place for THEIR CONGREGANTS?
SUBURBANITE: THIS IS FOR YOU... if you use Park and Ride services that include the use of DDOT bus service.
THIS IS FOR YOU...if you manage a local attraction like the Historical Museum, Charles H. Wright African Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit's Children Museum, Comerica Park (Go Tigers!), Ford Field, Fox Theater, All of the Casinos, Michigan State Fair, or The Henry Ford / Greenfield Village any attraction that has guests coming to your venue by bus whether it is a large percentage or small. Those people MATTER!!
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...you are an EMPLOYER of bus riding employees... Then you want to know these dates. If you are any of part of the groups described then this is for you!
