MrNiles,

We discussed the Struthers-Buckeye in September of last year.

 ???They had he schedule, but no map. I saw a few things that were confusing about the schedules and maps at first glance. They have a Buckeye-Struthers and a Struthers- Buckeye. Both numbered 33. Both leaving at 10 minutes after. Does that make scense? Wouldn't it make scense to have one at 40 minutes after. People could choose which one is best for them to take. The 33B would be the Buckeye first. The 33S would be the Struthers part first. I like more circulator routes. For example, for the North side. The routes are short.The smaller buses could be used. Pick the main North and South and East and West routes. Use the small buses to feed the main lines. Add service to main lines with connections to the circulators.

Schedules which include the map and timetable are available at the WRTA Federal Station or online at the WRTA website.

No maps or schedules. It would be helpful.

[Why?Town]

I've never ridden the bus so please excuse me if my questions are somewhat silly.

If I worked from 8am to 4:30pm at Infocision and didn't live beside Federal Station how would I get on/off the bus?

If I lived very close to Austintown plaza and started work at Infocision at 11:00 I could get to work but how would I get home 8 hours later?
