Editor,
I attended the Sept. 25 meeting of the Island Transit board and I want to share misgivings about what I heard.
I am concerned with the idea that Island Transit is now “solvent.” It is not. The forecasted 2016 budget included over $118,000 in income from fares. Currently, fares are not charged by Island Transit. Although the board has discussed charging fares in the future, no motion has been discussed, let alone voted upon affirmatively.
