ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "How do you feel about the creation of a city-wide public transportation system?"

Earl Burnett, Jackson

"I think it would really help out the elderly, and I think it would be a real good thing if it could be done for a decent price."

Betty Hopen, Cape Girardeau

"I think it would be good, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would use it, students and elderly people who could get around."

Tamra Essmyer, Cape Girardeau

"I don't think we're big enough to carry enough buses."

Laura Poole, Scott City

"I think it's good to have available for people that are in need of it. Not everybody has cars, and transportation or family members to help them get around. I think it is something that is worth it."

Terri Marler, Mounds, Ill.

"I think it would be alright. A lot of people around here don't have any means of transportation."
