COEUR d’ALENE — Amid discussions this week between county, city and tribal representatives about the future of their Citylink partnership, two commissioners questioned whether Kootenai County should operate a public transit program at all.
“I like the concept of Uber,” Commissioner Marc Eberlein said during a special meeting on Wednesday that focused on Citylink. “It’s the private sector, instead of taking a big monstrosity of a big bunch of buses and all this foofaraw coming around.
