Prince George County MD:
Turn This Bus Around
Aug 31, 2009
Prince George’s County stopped supporting the Kids Ride Free program, which allowed students with school-issued ID’s to ride Metro buses free between 2 and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The county says this cut will “save” an additional $300,000.
Actually, they are taking an additional $300,000 from the students of Prince George’s County.
