Buses to Verona, Buses to Whitewater

With gas prices rising, I suppose it isn't too surprising to see that Madison Metro has started a new route that runs between Madison and the Epic campus in Verona. Until this week route 55 ran from the west transfer point to Verona but the new route 75 uses the Square as a terminus. My neighbor down the street is no doubt happy at this development.

On the other hand, I am surprised that the cities of Whitewater and Janesville along with Generac Power Systems are pushing for a commuter bus to run between those burgs.

Generac is apparently looking to hire several hundred people and Janesville has many unemployed folks so it looks to be a good match.

I expect press releases soon from Steve Nass and Glenn Grothman decrying socialism and accusing all parties involved of being anti-automobile and, thusly, against freedom.
