If the taxi companies were not making it, they would go out of business or MAYBE THE COUNTY WOULD RAISE A GAS TAX TO SUPPORT THEM. get rid of ECAT, let them call uber, taxi, lyft, ETC.

We got scheistered/forced into the gas tax for ecat. Then what did they do? Put free wifi in the buses. One or more of these who voted for it got their palms greased, just follow the money. So out gas tax subsidizes free rides AND free internet. When do I get my free stuff? Or do I have to keep on working to py for my own stuff? Get rid of the gas tax AND ecat, or make it self sufficient, if it can't survive on it's own, let it die. Sounds good. We got scheistered/forced into the gas tax for ecat. Then what did they do?

Nope they have a budget they should work within their means. If your not happy with your pay then move on I’m yes there are plenty of folks biting at the bit for an opportunity to have a job. Keep in mind these folks mostly work 24 on 48 hrs off. That translates working 1/3 of the year! Not a bad gig 4 cents gas tax pushed to fire services!

Isn’t it scary, however, how many people actually believe all these lies and can’t wait until all these free things come their way. Never understood how ECAT can send a bus to transport one person to visit a neighbor a couple of miles away for 1 dollar. All you have to do is give 24 hours notice. Definitely not cost efficient - even by Century’s standards. Wilykyote’s comment hit the nail on the head!
