As a former mass transit user in another city in another state, I urge Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash and the members of the county commission to use the remaining vacancies on the transit policy advisory group to appoint some people who are actually familiar with the county's transit system.
Specifically, I believe the appointments should include at least one bus driver currently employed by the system, and at least one regular user of the current system. This would assure some voices with actual boots on the ground experience with the system. And, it might be useful to require all those on the transit policy advisory group to ride buses to the group's meetings.

Sorry, but enough of the population will ever use transit in Gwinnett to get around so lets stop wasting our money studying this all the time. No one will ever pay the "real" cost it takes to run transit, except of course, when the BOC uses taxpayer money to subsidize the riders using the system.
