TOPEKA, Kan. - Topeka Transit hopes some extra funding from the City will help prevent making more cuts to the operation.
Board members met Friday at an emergency work session to discuss what can be done to help prevent them from putting Phase Two into action - this means buses would come every hour rather than half hour.
Phase One begins April 1, which means Topeka Transit will no longer provide bus service after 6:30 p.m. on weekdays or at all on Sundays.
It is sad that Topeka's transit system can't come closer to being self sufficient. But Topeka is not alone in that. We, as a community, have to decide how much we are willing to pay for mass transit. And I don't think we have really had that discussion as a community yet.
