Perhaps it's time to think about bringing public transportation back with the opening of the new Monroe Marketplace stores.

It could make a difference for our seniors and those who do not drive and cut down on traffic moving down the highways. In this day of "green" and conservation, it could help cut down on fuel consumption and even give someone who otherwise has no way to get to work a way to earn more money.

A bus -- running from Sunbury to Monroe Marketplace, to the mall and to Selinsgrove and on the way back Walmart and Value City -- would be a wonderful addition to the improvement that's happening in this area. If all the community's involved, including the stores, perhaps they could come up with an affordable way to move potential customers to and from their stores, increase their revenues and add a service to make life easier for the people in our area.
