LOL! Why? I have never seen anyone on one of those ancient Shore Transit buses.

I don't think you are looking, or you just can't see. I see people on those buses all the time.
Maryland and Harris are a joke. Try being a middle aged white male looking for these types of programs to get a business started. Dead end road at every turn. F*** Salisbury/wicomico county

If that's the way you feel, why are you here? This is a big country, and you can live and work anywhere you want (unless you reside in one of our prisons).
Why not passenger trains?
Great. . .empty coaches running all
around the eastern shore. Burning fuel, and, contributing nothing. Just a manifest waste of hard earned taxpayers dollars. Those buses are always empty.

So you see every bus, every minute of the day? Hardly.
No wonder this area is a dump. You people can't see past the end of your noses.
When will there ever be any bus service in small surrounding towns like Hebron, Mardela and Sharptown? We all liver in the dark ages in these areas.
They should get a train running from Cambridge to Vienna to Mardela to Hebron to Salisbury then Pittsville then Berlin, then Ocean City
