Bus riders, students, and union leaders protest OCTA cuts

Serena Maria Daniels wrote in this Monday's OC Register that union leaders and students protested a cut in mass transit. My take: The ones who hold the purse-strings — namely, local government officials — should also receive this feedback from bus drivers, students, and riders.

I wish I could organize a coordinated student response; unfortunately, studying for the licensing exam through end of May is taking about 15 hours out of my day. I'll post as frequently as I can with any new news about this issue. read more→
