Posted by AMoreira81 on Wed Aug 6 10:33:36 2008, in response to Re: Redskins, WMATA Discontinue Shuttle Service Due to New FTA Regulations, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Tue Aug 5 22:45:44 2008. However, the FTA was right in that their money was going to subsidize a private operator. 100% of the fare on the WMATA shuttles would have gone to the Redskins, IINM, which means someone else has to be funding the drivers, as well as fuel and support staff.But now, I have this question: If a private operator leases buses from a public operator that was purchased with federal funds (but the buses are in private operator branding), do the same rules apply? Think Coach USA or Academy, both of which lease large chunks of their fleet from various state and local governments and paint them in their colors. Why I ask is because Coach USA does use state buses (Coach USA-branded, New Jersey Transit-owned) as parking lot shuttles and game day shuttles to and from the PABT. |
