This is off subject but, can anyone explain why RRTA uses these 40(?) passenger busses when there is never more than 3 or 4 people riding in them. Why don't they use something smaller?
They run these fuel hogs out to Ephrata and New Holland empty most of the time. Seems to me they could save money using smaller busses IMO.
They were tried years ago, but bad vehicles were purchased. It is worth re-considering, though.

I'm so used to grandiose and expensive projects being announced but never built, I am truly amazed that this one has gotten this far.
Let's see how many floors are actually built. The plan would make it one of the tallest buildings in Lancaster.
I really hope this project works out. Not only will the condos pay real estate taxes, it means more people will be living downtown, which brings economic development.
I hope it works too. These condos are already advertised by realtors, by the way. They might have to drop the price a bit.
