Impact analysis
Restoring any Lynx service would now cost the city the bulk of the route cost; about $90,000 was previously budgeted.
Restored or subsidized service would help transit-dependent residents, commuters and SunRail riders.
Residents without cars face longer, less reliable trips to work, school and health services.
