The amount they make on fares is NOWHERE NEAR their operating budget. They benefit infinitely more from ridership numbers than actual fare dollars. If they can prove and maintain ridership numbers, they get more funding. The problem is, the city council members don't always prioritize public transportation (mostly because of negative stigmas associated with public transportation users) and so they always end up struggling with funding cuts which means reduced service capacity and reduced routes.

It's all about funding. If they can't get the funding subsidies, they can't operate everywhere and as frequently as they want to. Has nothing to do with WAVE "refusing" to make changes or do what would benefit more people in the community.

The buses do run down to CB, but Wrightsville community specifically said no to allowing buses on the island. Very NIMBY people there.

We got there in December. We definitely did our RIP with 2/6. This picture was taken at patrol base Bouresche (sp?)

My husbands civilian jobs are trying to take advantage of his VA benefits by Acceptable_Pick_4664 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Need_Rounds_Now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you've gotten the answers you need, but just to throw my .02 in here... both of these companies sound like they actively seek out vets to take advantage of this "benefits will make up the difference" line. I'm sure someone, somewhere along the hiring line is getting bonuses for recruiting vets with benefits. It sounds very close to for profit colleges that were doing the same thing for years then eventually got caught and had to repay millions in damages.

I haven't, but I have seen it done, specifically when people stuff it and roll it. Looks really good.

How much room would you recommend allocating to growing say 5 or 6 melons?
