I cannot believe that this article does not raise the entire town's eyebrows. How can we continue funding something that does not even come within the slightest realm of paying for itself. The buses should be viewed as a company. If the fares produced by riders don't make up at least a majority of its budget, I do not see how it can be justified to keep it running. If this is allowed to continue, I would like to know how my business can apply for the same kind of deal. I'd love to have my yearly budget not match up with the revenue that I am producing!

Wow, I wish I could run my business the way the buses are set up to run with only a small portion of my operating budget based on the revenues my company creates. Seriously people, when are we going to realize that we cannot pour money into something that does not even come within view of paying for itself??

I am honestly shocked to read AJM's response to this article and to the other posts. While I completely understand the frustrations with those scooter riders who do not follow the laws, I don't find that any justification to say that you are literally not going to watch out for another human being on the road. I truly hope that somehow you end up behind bars someday for your callous attitude. It is people like you who cannot see any other side to this issue except how you may have to wait a little bit longer to move your biga** vehicle to the next stoplight where we will BOTH wait for it to turn green and move on to the next light.

I personally watch out for other vehicles and make sure that I am not in there way, but I hope that if AJM runs into me someday like it sounds like he is craving to do, I truly hope he will get the book thrown at him.

On Scooter drivers need to keep it legal

Scooters are an excellent option with the current gas prices. I personally ride a Honda Metropolitan that I purchased locally at St. Joe Honda!

I hate to see that the News-Press's article seems to have a negative slant starting with the title, though. Perhaps if the public would embrace what scooter riders are trying to do (decrease their dependence on gasoline thus lowering demand), we could all enjoy lower gas prices. Towns like St. Joseph should, without question, do everything they can to further the use of low-powered transportation such as scooters. If they were to move toward creating separate lanes and increasing both riders and vehicle driver's awareness the popularity would only grow. Not every town is lucky enough to have a layout like ours that is so conducive to alternate forms of transportation.

Let's embrace and encourage those who want to save money, not start off an article with a title about how they need to follow the law.
