Butte's senior citizens provide the main ridership for the city bus service, 80 percent of riders per a spring survey, with students 15 percent and adults 5 percent. A projected first year deficit of 24000 is tempered by anticipated state and federal funding including a 3000 grant from the Department of Community Affairs and a 4000 grant from the federal Administration on Aging.
