And now their homelessness problem is over?
No, but now you can actually take a bus to downtown and not inhale piss vapors.
Was this actually an issue?
It was definitely common for homeless and mentally ill people to be on the free ride buses, but I don’t know if I’d say it was a primary reason it was cancelled. Seemed more about costs.
