Rochester Bus Station almost ready.

It's so ridiculous. This is why we can't have nice things. The transit center was sold as a first rate, iconic, state of the art metropolitan hub for intercity buses. And it could very well be that if it weren't for the people who use it. Within a week of its opening someone was stabbed, and now we have fights every other day. Now even innocent bystanders are getting injured. It's about time we stop this and take control of our city. Downtown is never going to recover with this stigma in people's minds. It may very well be too late to change the public's perception of the transit center, but at least eliminate the problem for the good hard-working people who do use it.

Well, no, it does make sense. Lovely is basically telling her constituents that she wants their kids to find other means of getting to school, which might *gasp* make the parents more responsible for their own children. And I think it's fairly apparent that few parents of RCSD students at this point want to be the ones ultimately responsible for their children getting to and being successful in school.

Then again, maybe that's just what I see through my overly racist, white suburbanite eyes

She didn't say anything about making the parents get the kids to school, she said that RCSD needs to figure it out without using RTS and more specifically the transit center. If I had to guess, I'd say they start using these big yellow things called school buses.
