At last night’s meeting the Burlington City Council approved a $5 vehicle tax its public transportation system.
Mayor Pro Tem Celo Faucette said “now we have this, let’s get people to ride it.” Burlington is surprisingly dense in places, so it is hard to imagine the city has never had a bus system in place. That said, I hope the mayor pro tem—and the rest of the council for that matter— has no illusions about just how many people will actually ride the bus.
