Are buses essential for Detroit?

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing is making major decisions right now on his proposed Detroit city budget. He has recognized that the city cannot afford to maintain all of the services they currently provide, so he’s deciding which city service are truly essential and which are nice but not necessary. Non-essential services can expect massive cuts!

Do you think transportation is an essential city service?

Or put another way, could Detroit operate without any bus service?


If you believe, like I do, that Detroit buses are absolutely vital to the city’s operations, to affordably get people to jobs, classes, stores, and services, tell Mayor Bing!

Call Mayor Bing’s office at (313) 224-3400;
tell him that transportation is an essential city service.
DDOT’s budget cannot be cut.


Then report your call so we can track all the input he’s receiving.

Make sure to call now, before the Mayor’s State of the City address on March 23!
