Petition of Jo Hart request the City Council immediately restore our bus system and hire a transportation planner to take over the WRTA to create a new network of buses, no hub, for bus riders to transfer to another bus wherever it intersects: a new intelligent mode of economic travel that conserves pollution, time and money for Worcester's public transportation system. # 9b CC June 18, 2013
