OCEAN CITY – Officials say community members have until April 10 to request a hearing on a proposed bus fare increase.
In a meeting of the Ocean City Transportation Committee Tuesday, Transit Manager Rob Shearman presented members with the timeline for increasing bus and tram fares. With an implementation date of May 1, he said community members have until April 10 to submit a public hearing request relating to bus fare changes.
“If that public hearing is requested, we will notify the council and intend to hold that hearing on the April 17, 6 p.m. meeting of the Mayor and City Council,” he said.
Earlier this month, the Mayor and Council had before them favorable recommendations from the transportation committee to raise the town’s bus and tram fares by $1. Officials say the increase will allow the town to cover the increasing costs associated with both operations.
“Considering the increase in expenses and fuel and the drivers and the cost of providing the service, we felt that these recommendations were warranted,” Mayor Rick Meehan, committee liaison, said at the time.
Have a hearing for FIRING bus supervisors !!!! If you want drivers for 2023 !!!!!
Is Perdue Gone yet ??? If Not you won’t get ANY good drivers !!!!!???
744pm provides yet again a solution to a decades old challenge within. When drivers leave and less come, yet mamagement remains the same…..insanity rules since SOMEONE thinks the outcome will always be different. Yet its not. Private industry one cant fire the chief…..yet in government one can. How? Performance evaluations and at higher managements choice, a management directed reassignment. Normally that happens to those who are in a RIP status (retirement in place, sucking in air and wasting precious space). Get a RIP to move to another lackluster position (zero to do) eventually they will do something that can get them canned OR finally leave.
Still need to figure how to get folks in town mid week. Those folks will be hotels, eating out and maybe taking the bus.
If the town remains empty during the week, the town brings in NADA.
Lather rinse repeat will be Rickie’s lasting motto!
Alot of old SPONGES are the Supervisor bunch in OC Bus !!!! Deadbeats who had too much power &
loved Harrassing the Good drivers many years , while Nothing Happens to them !!!!! Bus Mafia OC !!!!
