Atlanta, GA – Xpress Bus Service
Heading home on Xpress ride.
Ride is sweet, no need to weep
People around me, fast asleep.
Sitting here comfortably still
Thinking of the coming increased bill.
Like everywhere and everyone
Economic woes, Xpress begun.
Analysis done, the count is in
Xpress’ future lies very dim.
No funds allotted next budget year
Xpress eliminated? Oh, my dear!
Someone said there is a plan
To push operations next summer long.
Plan’s contents not very good
But maybe, the best job that could.
Fares are set to sail fast and high
No more 20- or 40- ride.
One’s monthly fee going way up:
Think 79 to 185 -
Not a step up, no not a dive
A mighty leap! O what a jive!
There’s already excited chatter
Steps necessary, but what a matter!
A whopping 100 plus increase
Some say, “We’ll be driving, please.”
Yet the truth be known
Who wants to drive
In any place that’s Atlanta zone?
Added too, though fares go high
They’re cheaper than
A month’s gas supply.
So what will it be?
More carpools, vanpools galore?
Will many exit Xpress’ door?
Time will tell.
The pain is real
Economic woes on Xpress’ heels.
