We will know more in the morning

Salem's public transit bus system called the Cherriots (named after the Cherry City) shuts down every Saturday night at 10:00 pm and usually doesn't resume service until early Monday mornings.

This isn't appreciated by anybody more than Salem Police as the night time bus service only makes their task more difficult.

However, last year they stopped running the normal Monday schedule on Holidays (as they had for many years) as the over-time bonuses paid to drivers broke the budget and that a big concern after the voters dumped their proposed massive increases.

But recently they have sprouted out with a new fleet of buses (much like the school district) which makes me wonder if the wound the voters inflicted hasn't healed itself.

We will know more in the morning when and if we see a return to empty busses touring the neighborhoods as if tomorrow was just another working day.

Late update as of Monday morning: No Buses, we win!
