Pace surburban buses underused

Hi. I am so glad I found a activist in my hometown. Has anyone ever noticed how underused the pace surburban buses are in arlington heights and the bordering towns (except around the train stations). They have been around for several years but I have seen no advertising of the use of pace buses In Arlington heights. I ask people and few know there are pace buses in the suburbs or how big the network of routes there actually is. I think someone should start making the public more aware of them. Also, I think the town should allocate several parking rides around the village for people using pace buses, sort of like a park and ride program. With more people on average in the buses, they will be more efficient and better for the environment(because they wouldn't be driving around with no people). Also, there then could be less cars on the road in Arlington heights. Did you know for every car on the road, you need 1000 trees to null the effects of that one cars harm on the environment..
