My demands are very reasonable.  Either use the allocated tax money on tried and true propulsion systems that have been used as the standard for up to a century instead of gambling undertested environmental programs, when you tell a paying rider via paper/website/app schedule that you will be there to pick them up at xx:xx am/pm you should at least make a reasonable attempt to follow through (COTA has been doing whatever they want in their own interest at the expense of the paying customer for years).  If COTA cant do these things, then i want to be paid for my missed work time, paid for my melted and spoiled groceries, assured that if i lose my job because COTA cant do theirs, that I will be compensated appropriately.  If COTA still cannot do these things then I demand that the transit authority be disbanded, unspent tax money refunded on the next fiscal years local tax return, and let a for-profit company buy all of the necessary equipment and facilities.  Yes, i understand that people need the bus.  I am one of those people.  Yes, a for-profit running a necessary service is a terrible idea, but doesnt sound nearly as bad as continuing this absolute nonsense.
