Martin County Transit Service Abruptly Suspended Amid Cost Concerns
What happened
Martin County’s public bus system abruptly stopped providing service last Thursday. The private company that operated the system cited rising insurance, fuel, and maintenance costs, stating it was losing approximately $70,000 per month. The union representing MARTY transit workers stated that employees were given no warning about the job losses and plans to file an unfair labor practice charge.
