It ain’t broke, so don’t fix it
Oh, the irony! Our mayor expects an incredibly busy summer. Basin Rec struggles with parking capacity at popular trailheads. More cars! More people! What to do? I know what: On July 1, let’s discontinue the 7 Pink bus going through Silver Springs, a highly popular fixed bus route used regularly by residents for many, many years. As pointed out by Sarah Altshuler in her April 7 letter to the editor, the “microtransit” option is not an equivalent substitute for our 7 Pink fixed route through Silver Springs.
We Pink bus riders rejoiced when we won this battle in September 2020 after Park City Transit asked for input regarding the elimination of the Pink route through Silver Springs. Why did High Valley Transit completely disregard the wishes of the people, despite overwhelming support for continuing the route through Silver Springs? They need to tell us.
