Hey! My local transit service, the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, has just emailed me and said that folders are now allowed on local bus service! Just need to keep them clear of the isles.

It's official now. No more need to be concerned over getting stranded or worrying about the bus driver telling you not to board.

That is great!!

Thanks for the input - and help. I sent a few links that you all gave me.
