Save Our Bus Service Rally: Thursday, June 4, 6pm @ former Santa Ana Transit Terminal

I hardly hear anything from Orange County bus riders; in other counties (such as Alameda and Los Angeles Counties), bus riders are much more vociferous. It looks like that's about to change. This morning, I received an e-mail from the Transit Advocates:

SAVE OUR BUS SERVICE RALLY –

Thursday, June 4, 6 pm                                      
Former Bus Terminal Plaza, triangular corner of 5th St., Santa Ana Blvd., & Ross
 
Please join us this Thursday for a rally to call attention to our huge bus service cuts. Bring as many friends and bus riders  as you can so we can let people know how important this is. We will be letting people know about the cuts, encouraging people to attend the June 8 OCTA board meeting vote, and advocating for more bus funding. 
 
Speakers to be announced.
 
Let us know if you can volunteer to:
 
Run PA system, pass out literature, be a safety monitor, translate materials into Spanish, phone our mailing list to attend
 
Send us a quick note to let us know if you can attend.
 
Please SPREAD the WORD!

I also received another e-mail from someone with the Orange County Bus Riders who wished to remain anonymous. She's been posting flyers inside buses and at bus stops. It's definitely a gray area, but she insists that bus riders aren't in the know. So, she's doing her part to keep them informed.

I've attached her flyers to this post and pasted the graphic below. In any case, I know that a speaker from CALPIRG will be attending. It should be an interesting event.
