[Mpls] March 17th- No Buses?

[Sean Ryan]

If the bus strike occurs before or during St. Patrick's Day, what will be 
the conditions on the unofficial drinking holiday of the year? I know many 
(including myself) depend on the bus as a safe and sober driver going to and 
from downtown Minneapolis. The free buses on March 17th have been a 
wonderful alternative to cab rides or getting behind the wheel and have 
probably saved the city much money in court time and repairs as a result of 
inebriated persons getting behind behind the wheel (not to mention peoples' 
lives).

I know for a fact that the Minneapolis (and metro) cab systems are too small 
for our metro area. A 2-3 hour wait for cabs on a busy weekend is just to 
long. Have you ever tried to hail a cab downtown? Either they ignore you or 
they are too busy making conversation on 7th street to take notice.

Let's hope this gets resolved quickly.
