Dorie replies... Firestone and rubber tires on those buses and cars also..I believe Pohlad had interest in the bus company at the time..did he not? Of course, the bus lane would be switched with time... More cars, more buses, more pollution...easier to add a rail car as the population grows and a lot cheaper than trying to figure out what to do once the bus lane is packed and standing still ...burning fuel. dorie rae gallagher nokomis/ REMINDERS: 1.
