It makes no sense that one cannot take the bus to the Manchester Airport. It's so easy to park in Concord and take the bus to Logan -- no hastle or traffic worries. I understand that Manchester wants folks to pay for their parking garages. But it's not in the best interest of the public!
I recently started taking the bus from Concord into Boston twice a week. It's so convenient. I wish I'd tried it sooner.
Laura:
Thank you very much for the coverage on how bus service, private & public, is proving successful in many parts of NH. Thank you also for including COAST in the discussion.
Listening to the show again last night I realized that I was remiss in not mentioning another key to our success here at COAST: our staff. We have a tremendous group of dedicated individuals that are focused on, and understand the importance of, providing a high quality customer experience. We are especially glad to be able to retain these employees, offer stable employment and even expand work opportunities in this tough economy.
Great show!
