As I mentioned in a previous blog, the Flathead valley is now home to its very own public transit system. Today, once again, I am doing my part to not only support this great new addition to my community, but to do my part environmentally as well. With gas prices down dramatically (more than half of the price just a few short months ago), I have been concerned for what seemed to be a great shift in peoples thought process, particularly their need for fuel efficient cars and alternative transportation. As I stepped onto the bus on my way home, I was surprised to see a nearly full bus. Now whether all these people were riding the bus out of choice or necessity, I will never know, and really it doesn’t matter. Ridership is up and people are using a great public service. The more people that ride the more they will expand. I challenge you to do the same. I leave my car at home at least once a week and often more. If you have the ability to do so, give it a try.
