	Mr.Holland doesn't have specific answers    ----
Cheeze--Whiz, what formality! :)     But 'tis better
than the alternative! :)


	Some of this information, if not all, is in the
North Side tape by TGM.     Remember when Carl Schultz
queried a group of us on these very topics?     Definitely
remember reference to 21-line shuttle North Side to outer
end and then reroute into downtown in the video.

	Wonder if we could elicit this from various issues
of the PRCo transit guide?
