Bargaining sticking points are wages, healthcare, and scheduling. NSLU is calling for hourly wages to start at $20, up from the current starting rate of $16.30

there are so many SE to NE trips that are like 20 minutes faster if you get lucky with the timing of the 70 and can take that instead of transferring downtown. I really think it would do numbers as a frequent service bus
