25 YEARS AGO: Increased evening and weekend bus service was on top of the list for Stanislaus County. At a meeting where bus riders voiced their concerns, the Stanislaus Area Association of Governments also considered increased service for the disabled. The hearing was a small step in securing an estimated $8.2 million in transportation funds for the following year. The suggestions from the public included the use of international symbols to make transit signs more understandable to the illiterate and those who don’t speak English.
