[NFBF-Tampa] FW: TD Tampa Bay link

[Ed Sanders]

I understand all about the valid reasons for someone making a chooice in 
transportation and confident plays a huge roll as I am a bus user for 
work however I was sighted for 18 years and 6'2 and don't scare easy and 
on the other hand if you don't conquer your fears then your confident 
will never grow. another thing that I hear alot is, that the bus is not 
for me and I ask and they say that I am scared. Just a thought.
