The paper has said little about how much is involved in moving facilities.

Then the question will be if we're still in town.

While I'm kind of surprised that it is taking that long to run
again, I can see some of the problems to do it. VTA seems to be
training a new set of operators to replace the deceased.<br clear="none">

I wish the media was clearer about what it takes to legally run a
public transit system. I'm also not understanding why political
leaders have not declared this situation an emergency and
overruled some of the regulations that prevent them from offering
service right now.<br clear="none">
