The results of a Spy poll on public transportation is in, and the conclusions might surprise a few people.
In short, Residents of Kent County overwhelmingly support some form of public transportation to downtown Easton, based on an hourly schedule, with an average cost around $15 per ticket, departing every hour, and would be willing to do so more often if offered special discounts by restaurants or performance venues.
Over 170 Spy readers responded to the Spy poll posted last week asking Chestertownians if they would use a non-stop shuttle service between downtown Chestertown and downtown Easton for either work or pleasure. A summary of the survey is shown below.
1. Would you use an nonstop bus shuttle from Chestertown to Easton?
2. What would be a fair round trip fee for such a trip?
3. Ideally, what schedule would you prefer if a service was offered?
4. Would your employer help you cover some these costs?
5. If traveling for entertainment or dining, would you be more likely to use the service if there were special discounts rates offered by restaurants or performance venues?

Yes to a shuttle that will bring Easton residents to Chestertown for a day of shopping, appointments or festival going, followed by a nice dinner, a show at the Garfield or maybe a sunset cruise on the River Packet. Keep those ideas flowing, Spy friends!
