Phillippa Lewis Moss, director of the Gainesville-Hall County Community Service Center, makes a point during a public meeting Thursday to discuss future transit options.
For Gainesville resident Albert Powers, having public bus service on Saturdays would help him out on paydays. “It knocks out two hours of my (work) day just to pay for the cab fare,” he said. But making big transit ideas happen, including weekend bus service and expanding routes to more places in Hall County, such as Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton, takes more money and political will.
