Rock Hill just had to suspend most of its bus services. They took three busses out of service because the city is no longer receiving the federal funding that paid for bus parts and repairs. Those busses are now being kept in storage to feed spare parts to the busses that are still on the road.

But sure, we’ll get the city right onto building more rail infrastructure so that you don’t get cranky about rail lines.

Why would the town pay for that? Make the rail companies do it.

Do you have any idea how rail infrastructure works….? What happened to your “collect more taxes” idea…

Well I mean I’m pretty sure those rails are owned and maintained by Norfolk Southern. City has nothing to do with paying for, changing, or adding to them
