Garden City—Scores of riders, civic group members, LI Bus workers, motorists and business representatives spoke out about the possible LI Bus privatization at a 'People's Hearing' at the Ethical Humanist Society in Garden City Wednesday night.
Event organizers asked Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano to commit to five years without fare hikes or service cuts, regardless of who is operating Long Island Bus. They also urged the County to reenter negotiations with the MTA. The 'Hearing', organized by the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, the New York Communities for Change, the Long Island Progressive Coalition, Long Island Jobs With Justice, Vision Long Island and the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce was held due to the lack of County sponsored hearings about the privatization of one of the largest suburban bus systems in the country. The 'Hearing' was made possible through support from the Long Island Unitarian Universalist Fund and through ongoing support from the One Region Funders' Group.
