Seven Days recently reported about potential cuts to routes and service by Green Mountain Transit (GMT), a public transportation company, here.
According to the article, the potential cuts include the Montpelier Link Express (route #86), providing bus service between the cities of Montpelier (the Capital of Vermont) and Burlington:
[...] The plan could potentially eliminate some of the Montpelier LINK times and the weekday airport route.
This is the bus route that I would have needed to take to Burlington and back home if I had to show up for jury duty at the US District Court building during a scheduled four week long trial that was supposed to begin later this month. Fortunately, the case had gotten cancelled.
"[...] GMT is not (and I don't know if they have ever been) financially self-sufficient. They have relied on support from the State and Municipalities for ~$29M in funding. Montpelier, for example, cut $40k from GMT to $0."
