[Nfbmt] FW: Schedule for Big Bear Transit: Starting date on Friday Jan. 23, 2014

[Rebecca Stewart]

I guess Big Bear won't benefit you guys much unless you want to take the bus
to Missoula and transfer to the Big Bear bus here.  It helps the rest of us
out a lot though and I guess if you want to take Big Bear bad enough to go
to Great Falls, you will come to Missoula and transfer.  Transportation is
never awesomely convenient when you are blind but at least we can accomplish
it now.  I'm certainly not complaining. It's been my experience that if the
persons who are running the routes can see a real interest and need for
additional routes, like a route from Billings to Great Falls directly, then
someone will make it happen but if no one is trying to get from Great Falls
to Billings on the bus, then no one will see the need for a route and so
none will be put together.  If we don't use this Big Bear route, then we
will lose it also.  I don't want to lose our bus service to Great Falls and
Helena again so I'm going to make a point of taking it whenever possible so
it will succeed and maybe even expand.

Hi Rebecca and all,

There hasn't been a direct bus from Billings to Great Falls for some time
now!  We got there through Butte and Helena, and before Rimrock shut down,
we had a more direct route to Helena which doesn't exist any more.  Imagine,
we'd have to figure out how to connect with Big Bear presently!

Jim
