Laketran is getting hit with major cuts from the idiots in Columbus who think everyone has a car. I highly doubt Laketran is going to add more routes.

To yeap and azc...get a life...not everyone can drive..what about the older people...you will get old one day if you aren't already or would you rather have the old and ill sent to the gas chamber?

I would like the option to bus to work. Also, while I was going to Lakeland Community College, all students paid toward a bus pass--promoted as 'free'. I couldn't take advantage of the free ride to school, but still paid for it, because North Mentor/Mentor on the Lake has no service. I'm hardly "Low class". I'm an RN.

To Nurse Cate: I agree with you. Laketran asked its riders to contact Columbus about the planned budget cuts coming soon. I take the #10 downtown CLE M-F. The busses are packed. We need the services Laketran provides.

There are way too many idiots who reply to these message boards. I assume they have nothing better to do, especially work!

The route could be from Grand River or Headlands down Lakeshore to MOL then travel to 306 and turn south on 306 to Tyler then Tyler to Heisley and back to Grand River or Headlands. That would take care of people who need a bus on Heisley as well.

The bus that currently turns onto 306 off Lakeshore could turn at Lost Nation or could turn around at 306 (to get the cross over people)and come back to Lost Nation go up to Route 20 go to Great Lakes Mall then the college and back down Lost Nation to Lakeshore and continue the route toward Eastlake. Just tossing out some ideas that would get some more industry stops on the bus routes.

i agree- it could do a block around andrews, lakeshore, hopkins, back to 306. or better yet to 44 to 20. this would serve seniors, disabled, and kids in communities of mentor on lake, french hollow, and headlands., hit two additional libraries and a park or two.

Calgirl has good plan. Please take under consideration.

RTA was a nightmare plan, so is Laketran. Don't get me wrong, I rode it for years and even transferred from Laketran to RTA while attending Cleveland State. The major issue is that no one wants a busing program in their city due to negative stigma. Until good PR gets behind the company, nothing is going to happen.

Please don't call me "underprivileged" because I "choose" not to spend a huge amount of money on gas, maintenance and parking garage fees. For $135.00 per month I leave the driving to trained experienced Laketran bus drivers. I can't touch that even if it were just for gas. Don't knock it until you try it AND get over the "I'm better than you attitude." Anyone is just a pink slip away from being "underprivileged" just talk to your neighbors who have lost their jobs and are trying to make ends meet. You should be ashamed of yourself and your elitist attitude!

Busses are simply a bad idea. Make the masses pay for a few.
