	WHen they re-wrote the routes a few years ago, they cut out the
additional charge and the out-of-area route.  At least this is according 
to a friend who lives on Jonesboro Rd on the Clayton side. There are no
bus stops by her house.

	The facility is in Clayton (I believe), but it is so close to 
the county line, and it would generate much business that I guess they 
let it go.  IMHO.

	Clear answer?  It was probably a decision made by the local gov't.
WHo knows what happen to create such a decision.  Try sleeping pills.  :)
