Santa Cruz county assemblyman Alejo’s got it all wrong
You have it all wrong, Mr. Alejo!
We need reform of the transit system, not exemptions. We need a competitive transit system that people will use. In     Santa Cruz County, most buses are typically nearly empty. Clearly, people don’t want to ride the bus. It’s not tough to figure out why.
In San Francisco bus drivers make more than $100,000 a year. Thanks to outdated federal rules and union policies, they get these bloated salaries. Guess how many competent, unemployed people ages 18-30 would happily drive a bus for $20,000 a year? And accept benefit terms that the taxpayers can live with? Your job, Mr. Alejo, is to look out for the residents of Santa Cruz County, not the unions.
