Quote - > Quote - Silence is the worst form of communication

But the safest. Who wants to put themselves in jeopardy when it is already clear they do not want to listen or act upon what they are told? It takes effort to communicate with them. Why bother if it makes no difference and you are just labelled a troublemaker? They have obviously made up their minds on lots of things and talking will make no difference. Much of the silence, by the way, comes from them in my experience.

...exactly, where I live, the local transit aruthority does pretty much the same. Oh they hold public meetings (usually when everyone has to be at work) and say our comments are important, but in most cases they have already made their minds up. One official even mentioned to me the only reason the public meetings and hearings are held is because they are required to do so since they receive Federal funding.

About two years ago the commission made plans for sweeping cuts in bus service along with an increase in fares.  During the final public meeting (which I took the day off from work to attend) many not only voiced concerns but offered excellent suggestions to deal with the issues without resorting to such drastic measures.  That September the commission followed through with all the service cuts and the fare increase as originally planned. In the end, the opinion and needs of their customers meant nothing.

 

With respect to Daz, to basically say that they will never go to a Zip file or even offer it as an option pretty much makes their forum thread as moot as that transit commission meeting.
