The Advocate - Get on the bus: More funds sought for transit: "Bus operators and advocates lobbied lawmakers yesterday for more funding, saying they could more than double ridership with a larger subsidy.
A lack of funds has led to service cuts the past five years, transit operators said during a hearing of the legislature's Transportation Committee at the Capitol.
"The reason more people don't use transit more is because it's not an option," said Ronald Kilcoyne, chief executive officer of the Greater Bridgeport Transit Authority that jointly operates the Coastal Link service between Norwalk and Milford with the Norwalk Transit District."
