Consultants urge High Point to take bus system into city control
A Kimley-Horne report urges the City Council to end private management of the municipal bus system and create a City Transit Department. It argues public ownership could save 20 000 to 30 000 annually, though it warns of lost private management expertise and rising deficits if no changes are made. The council will decide on renewing the ATE contract, expiring August 29, in its Thursday session.
