City Weighs Federal Funds to Save Waco Bus System
J W Arnn of Saint Louis told reporters at a Downtown Waco event that plans discussed with DW aim to keep the Waco Transit Company in the city.

The group cited rising auto use and congestion as reasons to preserve bus service for the entire area including shopping centers.
