Hello Brattleborians,
I am a student at SIT and was wondering if you could possibly help me out w/ a paper I am getting together. The topic is Rural Transportation: The Bee-Line. I was wondering if I could get stories, the good or bad of the Bee-Line, do you use it? OR if you could contact me and set up a mini intervie...w with you. I'm looking to better the system, or just get the basic attitudes of the local community about rural public transportation. Thanks for your help.
