Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing how Durham city council was going to revamp their bus system but take away the free busses. GoDurham says that the proposal will have more simplified services and be adding an all-day service. GoDurham states that to be able to provide a fare free service they would need to look for more funding. Before the city council has been funding two-thirds of the $1.1 million bill and Duke covered the remainder. Recently Duke has cut their funding which means less funding going to the annual costs of transit.
