City Rejects Federal Busing Funds Proposal in Frederick
Frederick city officials rejected a Mercedes Benz of North America plan to apply for UMTA funding to start public busing citing potential operating costs for taxpayers.

The move mirrors skepticism about revenue losses from transit ventures and questions whether service would improve over existing bus routes.
