T adds much

To the editor:

Folks who portray the T as a form of welfare either don’t understand the reality of the bus system or spread this portrayal to persuade others that the T should not be supported.

The reality is that the T is ridden by a broad range of people, including those from around the world who come to Kansas University without vehicles, young people not yet old enough to drive, those with cars who want to relax and save fuel, families out shopping or on an adventure, and many more too numerous to mention.

We should not underestimate the amount to which the T adds to the vitality of our community.
