Wisconsin Capitol protester files: Madison Metro bus drivers - Isthmus | The Daily Page

“Sad,” comes the immediate answer. “Scared,” another driver offers. “And there is anger.” But when the five Metro drivers discuss that anger further, it is largely in terms of city residents losing their bus service. Yes, they are scared for their own jobs — “I’ve been there twelve years and I’m not safe,” one told me, and others have less time logged — but they are focused on their riders and bus service in Madison overall.

“Who rides the bus?” one asks. “A lot of low income people. And they live where they shoved the lower cost housing, near the outside limits of town. So they won’t be able to get in to their work.”
