The cost of $850,000 for new equipment including 29 two-way radios, 13 buses, spare bus parts, five bus-stop shelters, and 200 bus-stop signs would be paid in part with 80% coming from federal funds. Transit officials and drivers claimed that mini-buses would break down constantly under the rugged terrain of the city and consume almost as much fuel. The Transit Board promised a study of instituting limited dial-a-ride service where customers could call to be picked up and left at designated locations. (4)
