As night falls, this sleepy town turns into a popular watering hole ...- nat pop -... Where drunk driving can be a problem... But A-S-G wants to change that with a program that will provide safe transport to the square and back.
Sb: Chris Covo
Covo says the program, which could start as early as next year, would cost nearly *800,000* [This seems very high] per year and be funded by local alcohol vendors, apartment complexes, Texas State University, city funds and a possible ten-dollar student fee.
*Jake Thompson* said drinking and driving has become accepted and all too common practice downtown.
Sb: student on bus
Some students, like *student name*, says he would object to paying the proposed ten-dollar fee, because he doesnt drink alcohol.
Sb: student opposed
standup: A-S-G piloted the program this weekend. There were several small charter buses on duty taking folks to and from the bars downtown. And Covo says it was a *huge* success. For Bobcat Update, I'm Alex Hering.
