For now it’s only talk, but Orange County’s goal of making bus service geared to rural seniors more efficient, and potentially expanding it further into rural parts of the county, is a good one. Turns out there is a good amount of ridership/route overlap between Chapel Hill Transit’s service and the county’s service. Another idea — to offer a shuttle around downtown Hillsborough — falls flat with me, however. I am very familiar with “downtown” Hillsborough. It is lovely and very small. Let’s stick with providing an efficient bus service in rural Orange.
