or whether it costs public entity for even a portion of the trip. Miller's paying for a goodsize chunk of it but the article doesn't state whether that pays for the service outright.

A local bus service here used to have free shuttles to a concert venue until they were told it would risk some of their federal funding (I don't remember the details but it was around the issue of subsidizing service that wasn't part of basic transportation needs.) Now they still offer the shuttle but it's on a fee basis.

and probably relieving some congestion.

but if you don't like the activity involved, or the fact that it involves a commercial event (participated in by a professional sports team that is owned partly by citizens who by shares in their team), we should promote environmentally hostile transportation?

I wonder how much carbon would be pumped into the atmosphere if all involved drove their own vehicles?

It just seems odd. Now someone earlier said that a corporate sponsor might be footing the bill for the passengers. That, I'm more than OK with. Hell, after being accidentally being caught in Packer Traffic a couple times, I could say they should pump more money into it.

However, if it's all taxpayer money footing the bill for this, that I'm not 100% OK with.

The problem is that the only people who seem to use it are students and those in need. There is a stigma against the bus, I would imagine rooted in our national love of the automobile. As far as I'm concerned anything to help shake this prejudice we have against public transit is a good thing.

Go Packers!!!!
