It's an interesting situation. I hope the trend keeps up and we get more focus on public transit. The bus system in Lancaster stinks for anything except getting into and out of the city.

I used to work in Leola. It took about 20 minutes to make the 8 mile drive (and later 30 minutes to make the 7 mile cycle). I looked at the bus routes and figured it would take over two hours to get there using the bus. Walk a mile to the bus stop, take the bus into Lancaster. Wait 45 minutes for the bus out to Leola. Take the bus to the nearest stop, then walk half a mile to the office.

The bus company was at an Earth Day event at work a few years back and I asked them if they had any plans for routes that would hit the satellite towns without going into the city. No funding and no demand, they said.
