Westport Cart Aims Minibus System Amid Unanswered Questions
The ATM Ad Hoc Study Committee warns a minibus plan could drain taxpayers as deficits estimated at 108 000 to 132 000 annually for five years loom large. Higher losses 350 000 to 500 000 may occur if maintenance and fare revenue are underestimated. A one cent gasoline levy could help but faces repeal risk. Sixteen RTM members urge a thorough town wide investigation before proceeding.
