City bus shuttle shut down
The Lincoln Center Shuttle was elimi
nated by the City Council Monday only six
months after the bus began running from
the Federal Building at 1 6 and 0 Streets to
the city's main post office at 700 R St.
The council acted on a recommenda
tion from the Lincoln Transportation Sys
tem Board. The board cited the fact that
an average of 10.5 customers per day rode
the bus-less than a total of 1,000-from
May 22 to September 30.
In its report to the council, LTS said the
bus only paid one percent of its operating
cost from fare box revenues.
The bus brought in 2.2 cents per mile,
considerably less than the LTS average of
37.9 cents per mile.
Between the Federal Building and the
post office, the bus followed 0 Street.
LTS official Kent Morgan said the route
was an idea of the City Council. Morgan
said when buses began to follow N Street
and 0 Street instead of 0 Street,
council members received some citizen re
quests for O Street service.
Because of this, the council passed a
resolution directing LTS to develop 0
Street service. The result was the Lincoln
Center Shuttle.
Morgan said the shuttle represents part
of an overall problem in determining what
kind of service is needed in the downtown
area.
Some city officials think the downtown
mini-line service should make money,
Morgan said. But profit is not a reasonable
objective, he said, because LTS does not
show profit on any of its routes.
Morgan said he thinks the mini-line
service, besides providing convenience,
should serve as a public relations' device
for the whole system.
Morgan explained that the convenience
factor creates a good image for the system,
and could get people into the habit of
riding buses. If a person rides a bus while in
the downtown area, and the bus proves
more convenient than walking or driving,
he said, that person may get into the habit
of taking a bus to and from work.

Deadline extension sought
The Committee for Fees Allocation
heard a request from Ron Dahlke and
Nancy Eicher of the Union Program
Council to extend the Jan. 15th dead
line for submitting next year's budget
to Feb. 15th.
They said the new program council
members begin meeting in January and
need time to familiarize themselves with
UPC and at least a week to draw up the
budget proposal.
Eicher said it would stifle the new
program council if next year's budget
was drawn up by this year's council.
CFA approved the request and ex
tended UPC's deadline to Feb. 7th.
The committee also received a re
quest for an extention from the Uni
versity Health Center. The letter said
the Health Center is still looking for a
replacement for its business manager
who resigned this fall. That extention
will be voted on at the next CFA
meeting.
Robert Moline was appointed as
secretary for the remainder of the year.
The committee approved the new
CFA by-laws, which with few
exceptions are the same as last year's
Fees Allocation Board bylaws.
The bylaws go to ASUN for final
approval.
