Its primary function seems to be to give members of other museums the
opportunity to run MATA cars in service on the streets without first
determining whether such persons are the least bit qualified to do so, and
without instruction of any sort about MATA's own operation.

I was appalled at this laxity when Fred and I visited there several years
ago...it would not happen at PTM.

Hi Fred:

This one cracks me up  --  could be paraphrased:::

McKinney Avenue Transit  I-S  Successful.......

             .......Except when it is not!!!

You mention it is worked by volunteers and uses paid workers when
volunteers not available and they still incur losses(?)!!!       Makes
me question the Need They Fill!
