Another group of people that they are taking advantage of is the bus workers. The working conditions suck, the benefits suck, and the wages suck. GET IT TOGETHER!! So not only is the system inefficient and expensive right now, the bus workers are going on strike. I had to find alternate transportation for work this weekend and possibly for this school week if they do not get it together. This is truly a no win situation for Arizonans because after a deal gets made between the union and Valley Metro they plan on cutting bus routes and raising the fare to ride the bus. Honestly there are three solutions to this ordeal:
- Arizona takes full ownership of Valley Metro and makes the bus system efficient and work with the unions
- The federal government or car companies find a way to make cars more affordable to Arizonans
- Another company begins competing for riders against the Valley Metro system
We need a solution and fast because everyone in Phoenix and Surrounding areas are going to be affected. It is going to affect Arizonans from the bottom to the top.
If they do decide to up the prices and decrease the efficiency of the program I will boycott Valley Metro and hope that there profits go down low. Hope that they will suffer and they will change their ways. This will effect people trying to go to work, but hopefully this will change something in the system and make it right!! I am so sick of this, I will attempt to hold a boycott against this company and hope for some change
