So I knew the #charlotte public transit system was having a hard time, but I hadn't realized it was as near the breaking point as so many other societal systems are now: https://qcnerve.com/opinion-things-are-coming-to-a-head-at-cats/
Biggest reveal there is that our transit operations have apparently been run by an underperforming private contractor for years??? and very few city leaders knew about it?? https://www.wbtv.com/2022/07/14/private-company-runs-cats-bus-operations-charlotte-leaders-didnt-know-that-until-this-story/ The city could be making bank off this company if they charged the fees we're owed for shitty service.
Instead, the head of the system is blaming unions for worker shortages while drivers are getting hurt/killed, buses aren't running, *there's a whole secret company running things*, and unasked for federal agents are roaming the main transit center.
Bruh. Pay your fucking workers, do something about that contracting company, and get rid of the extra cops.
