The cutting of the #1 Vine Hill route hurt a lot of the elderly, disabled, and low income people, especially those living at Vine Hill Towers, who now have to walk a mile to get to the next nearest stop on Nolensville - and that's by taking a shortcut through the fairgrounds. That shortcut won't be available while the State Fair is there. See Channel 4's report.

Here's a very interesting tidbit from that news segment:

MTA's planning officials are trying to restore services that were cut to balance the budget. They're developing a master plan not only to rework some routes but to develop more stable sources of funding.

"Just hold on, we're working on it. We're doing our best to get service back to everyone who lost it," said Jim McAteer, MTA Planning Department.

The planning process will take until March.
