Bob Groves Quotations

We respectfully disagree with the court's decision. We do not feel we ever intentionally discriminated against this individual. Wheelchair lifts -- even the kinds on low-floor buses -- they are mechanical devices, and they do sometimes fail.

We're getting crushed. We're calling in extra operators, asking the morning shift to stay overtime, doing everything we can. It's a capacity issue.

Let's face it, I think light rail is much sexier than buses.

It kind of builds on the Burma Shave concept. When you start reading them, naturally you want to get to the end of the rhyme.

I've got goose bumps up my back. Big time.

The Wabash Tunnel has only been open for 16 months, and although the usage is light and we would like it to be more, we view it as being long-term.

At this time, we've received no indication whatsoever from the Transportation Funding and Reform Commission that increasing fares and cutting service are unavoidable. But those are always options that we must consider.
