the info i cited comes from a 11/19/15 news story by KVAL (i think).  it's archived.  the second interviewee is a gee maybe , i'm not sure interview..? but,  why, if LTD had attempted this before, and the buses did go all the way to the airport at that time,  knew when flights left and how early people needed to get there ........  why did they think there would be sufficient ridership?  against all odds as vobora bullet pointed out in his on camera interview.  isn't that a definition of insanity. doing the same thing over and over expecting different results...?
  i don't remember anyone posting  'yes we need this service.'  i remember a distinctly different response.  LTD, as other agencies, do things on the 'surface'  for a whole different motive than stated. this may have had to do with future financing or fulfilling an obligation in a federal grant,  a tax write off, etc...... only LTD and perhaps peter defazio know the true why this even happened. i'd like to see the real numbers
