There are no margins what so ever for safe travel while riding. Many commuters including myself would have the option of riding a bike safley to work rather than driving. If the UTA is the wrong tree to bark up, please advise as to the ears that might hear.
I have used UTA and followed their board minutes for years and anyone who looks at them very close can see that they employ what I call "smoke and mirrors" management. That is, they are not so much concerned with ACTUALLY improving service as they are in CONVINCING people through P.R. campaigns that they improve service.
Almost immediately after they implemented the "fuel surcharge" diesel fuel prices began dropping. They went ahead and added two more "surcharges" after that.
I suspect these "fuel surcharges" will be in place forever as simply another way to raise revenues.
The best thing that could happen to improve service is if local governments (mayors and counties)started watching them closer.
If more people actually cared about what UTA does they would not be able to carry off their "smoke and mirrors" media campaigns without ACTUALLY improving service!
