V. Non-Agenda Public Comment / Open Discussion.
      a. Discussed email request asking to consider have a single wait list for both Dingeman buses
         i. Pippa described how a majority of those who she had contacted for an open bus spot were only willing to accept one bus time and waiting to go through the list to find someone who would take the open slot often resulted in long wait times for the empty seat to be filled. Between time/energy lost by the bus committee trying to fill the slots and empty bus seats not being filled, it is recommend to keep a single list for all bus routes. The committee agreed.
