Would free RTA bus rides boost Dayton’s economy?

Would free RTA bus rides boost Dayton’s economy?

LAURA INMAN

LAURA INMAN, Dayton: “If that allowed people to go to the eateries or anyplace they want for free, that would be a good idea, because there’s no place to park their cars downtown.”

KEVIN ASHBY

KEVIN ASHBY, Dayton: “Yes. It’d bring more people downtown from around the county.”

JANICE MORNINGSTAR

JANICE MORNINGSTAR, Huber Heights: “No, because there’s nothing to do downtown, unless you work there.”

JANIE HACK

JANIE HACK, Kettering: “I would like to think so — anything to help downtown. You just need to have more things downtown to come to.”

STEPHEN FARIS

STEPHEN FARIS, Washington Twp.: “In big cities, mass transit is really helpful. People get out more, shopping and doing other things, and they don’t have to worry about parking. I’m not sure about Dayton. I’m not one who lives where it would benefit me.”
