The ECAT Survey is a JOKE ! It makes them look good for taking our money. If you really want to give them a Good Honest Survey, Google their name and get their Email Addresses and write them with your true feelings about their ECAT disaster and the 4 cent a gallon ripoff. Vote all of them out. If these County Commissioners don’t have enough sense to know ECAT is a failure then we don’t need them.

@Jane. You may not have seen them, but they have a route to Century. As for the 4 cent tax, it was put in place (my understanding) to keep County Commissioners from using property tax proceeds to fund the system. In reality, the bus system is a giveaway to it’s users. The meager fare in to way represents the actual cost of running this system. The Wells Fargo Stage line and American Airlines can’t and didn’t operate like this. BTW, the windows are tinted so that noone can see how few people are using this boondoggle. The ECAT’s drivers are never happy with their wages. The ECAT should be ended.

ECAT COA Online Survey what a joke! It is setup to make ECAT look good no matter how you answer the survey. I say get rid of ECAT. I would be interested in knowing what the ridership is, why such large buses that are almost always empty or with just 2 or 3 people on it, a really small bus would save on fuel and maintenance and still service the 1% or less that use ECAT.

Why is it that the Europeans can have safe efficient/effective public transportation and we cannot pour sand from a boot with encountering errors?

Let’s see, we pay an extra 4 cents a gallon for ECAT but I have never even seen it out in the north end of Escambia County…..
