Regional Transit Cutbacks, Sign of the Times?

Sacramento Regional Transit (RT) has announced cutbacks in service because of the economy. This is unfortunate as, people can be more dependent on public transit in a poor economy when they either don't have or can't afford to drive their cars. It's interesting that these cutbacks come at the same time that RT received several million dollars in economic stimulus money from the federal government. Unfortunately, this money can't be used to stop the cutbacks, but has strings which mean it must be used for maintenance and cleanup. Seems like keeping the service would be more of an economic stimulus --allowing people to looks for jobs and get to them -- if it could be used to maintain the service levels. Oh well, that's politicians for you, never really in touch with reality, just in touch with contributors and special interests!
