Transit Deficit Reported Amid Bus Strike Impacts
San Antonio transit officials report September expenses below budget by nearly 50,000 dollars due to a three day bus strike. General Manager Norman Hill cites the strike as the main cause for deficits in administration and maintenance funds. First week of October shows passenger numbers recovering, though revenue remains 4 percent lower than a year ago. A Palo Alto Villa Coronado demonstration transit project runs a deficit of 17,364 through June 30 with 2/3 of costs covered by the federal Transportation Administration. The board approves an East Side shuttle from Honey and Commerce to the Rigsby lines starting Nov 20 and two new cross-town routes set to begin Nov 6. Also approved are system shares of 10,452 for nine transit patrol cays and 1,167 for bus passenger alterers construction costs.
