Once the first flush has worn off, you can bet you adnoids that FAB is gonna start settin' up scheduals to transport our men and women folks to abd back from the casino thanks to a wee thin' called profit. Ever hear o' that nasty word?

Feast your peepers on these bus interior shots.

While you people are flapping your gums about things that ain't, there not only is the answer to the problem already here, and it's based in Austintown, and it does casino runs already. It's called FAB Limo and here are some picuures of their fleet to rest your eyeballs upon.

I suspect that the bus company could not justify sending a vehicle to service just one business or one destination.  Chances are they would have to divert a bus from an existing route.  The 21-Steel would be a good candidate because it already crosses I-680 at North Meridian Road.  The interstate is the quickest way to travel from Youngstown to the casino on Rt-46.

How about the medium sized buses, used for the suburban loops?  They are larger than the door-to-door vans, but smaller than the full-size Gilligs.

they do but they are used for their door to door and handicapped bus services.

the other reason is that the ovm corp do not want to repair the damages that the wrta buses might be caused by them.

Does WRTA have some shorter, smaller buses in its fleet?

Isn't that the same problem that WRTA has at the Eastwood Mall?

I've heard that the WRTA's large buses can not safely navigate the curvy driveway near the building.

FAB Limo Service already has a fleet of Limos here in town that could be used.

The Limo idea, and a WRTA idea need to explored further. The Limo's should run from the many Restaurants, Motels and Hotels in the Valley. The people who could afford a Limo could pay more to get directly to the Racino. They want nonstop service. The WRTA buses would be a little slower. It should still be express with limited stops. It might go out Mahoning Ave. with limited stops like Mahoning Plaza. A simple reservation system should be used. (They already do it for the dial-a-ride service.) Just to get some idea where to pick up people,(employees),along the way, for the Racino. There could be a rewards program. Maybe Free rides after so many rides. Discounts from the Racino for Food, entertainment, horse racing. Let you imagination go wild. Special painted buses. Ideas and comments.

Take a limo to the casino.  Lose your money.  Take a WRTA bus back to Youngstown.
