No CARTA Service for VW Plant - Because If it Ain't Free...Volkswagen Won't Pay For It

5/7/2010

VW refuses to contribute to the cost of CARTA bus service to their new plant.

When the new Volkswagen assembly plant opens early next year, workers won’t be able to take public transportation to get to work.

CARTA officials said that VW declined to pay for bus service to the plant at Enterprise South.  CARTA Executive Director Tom Dugan said it would take about $60,000 a year per bus to run service to the plant.

Geez, you'd think that after fleecing the state's taxpayers for $500 million, and thhen giving away hundreds of construction jobs to workers from other states - NOT TO MENTION MEXICO, HONDURAS, GUATEMALA, NICARAGUA, BOLIVIA, AND POLAND! - Volkswagern would at least have the decency to pay for a measy bus to the plant so their workers could get to work!

To the people of Chattanooga, Volkswagen simply says, "Go 'farfegnugen' yourself!"
