In the editorial, "The SCAT dilemma" (May 19), the writer claims that Greensboro is the only city in the nation that offers unlimited monthly passes to its riders. This is not the case.
Portland, Ore., as part of the TriMet lift program, offers unlimited monthly passes for $44 a month. Instead of threatening to delete the pass altogether, the price has gone up $10 over the last three years. While you have some riders who ride a lot, not everyone using a pass will ride 105 times.
There are more ways to solve these budget shortcomings without the scare tactics used every time GTA has an expected annual dilemma.

Yep. And these are the people who want us to give up our cars. A while back, they had a marketing campaign to coincide with the rapid increase in gasoline costs. So, I emailed them requesting assistance in finding a route from my home to my workplace. Multiple times. They never responded.
Maybe they need new management?
