Dial-A-Ride is good, but there should be more then one person doing it during the day, and you can only get rides between 8am-6pm, before or after those times people are out of luck. There needs be something, if not run during all hours ( since more then likely that would be a waste of money with how few people there might be very late at night taking buses ) there should transportation available during longer hours.

The only issue I can really think of is when one might schedule it. Is the population of fort big enough to sustain a bus service on the hour/half hour every day all day? I doubt it... I suspect that you'd really have to do a large feasibility study and find out exactly when people require a bus the most. Over all though, I think it's a great idea, and another reason for me to return to Fort Frances once I have finished school to open a business.
