(According to State authorities, this reckoning may be at least 25 percent low, but $25,000,000 is a minimum and a nice round figure!) "For the first four years, the ^nly people to benefit from this ®!lvy were the train riders <who Titte recognized to have an average income 50 percent higher than the average citizen in the county) -- and the < railroad stockholders. "Last year, bus lines were instituted, but they were merely trunk lines connecting less than half of the population centers of McHenry county - and well over half of the linear miles of these new bus lines parallel railroads. "Except for beginning and ending time of some factory shifts, and the opening and closing of the Marian Central school day, use of busses by the general public - by actual in­ dependent survey - on all" other runs except a few of the runs on 806 (from Lake county through Fox Lake to Crystal Lake) and 805 (Crystal Lake to Elgin) averages less than two passengers per trip. In other words, on some 75 percent of the miles traveled by RTA busses in McHenry county there are 0 to 2 passengers. "To put it another way (using their own ridership figures and the .(too low) figure of $5,000,000 per year for the RTA taxes extracted from the citizens of McHenry county) every time any one rider uses the railroad or a bus to travel out of or into the county to go to work or for any other reason, or uses RTA transportation to go from one place to another in the county, in addition to their fares, we, the citizens of McHenry county, subsidize every single ride with $3.50 of our tax money -- and $2.75 of that amount is fun­ nelled into the city of Chicago for its transportation system! "Obviously, the plans for transportation in McHenry county are ill-conceived in addition to being inequitable. "So much for history!
