Sound Off  We just found out that during Thursday's sidewalk
sale downtown, the buses were free all over Lawrence. Why did
they decide this and why, at least, on one day where they could
make some revenue from these buses with all the people downtown?
Karin Rexroad, the city transit administrator, said: "People are
more likely to try the transit system on the day the fare is
waived and they are going to a known event. Riders who take
advantage of the incentive, free ridership, will experience two
benefits of the T, no traffic or parking worries. There is value
in the future rides created by citizens riding the T for the
first time to the annual sidewalk sale."    Commenting has been
