For the two years Lindsey Smith has been riding Citylink for free, she has found the bus transit system reliable as well as economical for her to get around. So the Coeur d'Alene woman did a double-take when she heard about a planned cashless fare system to ride the bus. "All good things must come to an end," Smith said while waiting at the Citylink's park-and-ride area near Riverstone in Coeur d'Alene on Friday. "I'd be really disappointed because it has made it affordable for me to get around, but yet I understand if they need to make improvements and modernize the system. How many places can you ride the bus for free, after all?" The amount and start date of the fare haven't been determined. Citylink, a collaboration between the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and Kootenai County, started in 2005 and has offered free rides since/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
