The decision that needs to be made now is do we want a system that goes fewer places more frequently, or more places less frequently. I\u2019ve read into this quite a bit, so if anyone has questions, feel free to ask. I encourage anyone who uses DART to read the info and take the survey. Note I found the original report that came out a month or two ago more informative and helpful than the maps that just came out. The tables of bus routes are helpful if you know the current system pretty well.</div><div><br></div><div>Helen</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div>
