Gas Price Drumbeat: Missing Vaughn Burton's bus line to Campbellsville

By Linda Waggener
ColumbiaMagazine.com commentary

Would ColumbiaMagazine.com be a good place for the community to begin a ride share discussion with an easy-to-find link that would keep it in the forefront until gas prices settle back down?




From the price of a tank of gas, to my broken car challenge today, to the ultimate goal of reducing global warming, I'm interested in finding people going my way.

For instance, going to Campbellsville every morning and then coming home each afternoon, I catch myself wishing someone would run a bus from in front of Grissom Funeral Home like Vaughn Burton used to do for Fruit of the Loom employees . . . so people going to work could leave the driving to someone else.

I especially wish for a bus when traffic is jammed -- we don't have a big enough population to justify traffic tie-ups like we have.

Does anyone else get caught in the traffic back-up from the public square to the new bypass turnoff regularly on the way home? I observe the light change and one lone car trying to turn left onto Fairground Street, unable to do so because of traffic coming off the Square, and in my imagination I move the light pole a little higher into the graveyard, carve out just a smidgen of the sidewalk, and make a small passing lane right around that light so traffic can keep moving.

Your ideas would be appreciated.
