May be you missed part of my post: I agree on a "stingerette-like" service,
namely something to be used on "special occasions", such as late at night
(safety) or by students/faculty with disabilities, or if you need to go 
to the Marta Station carrying luggage etc. You call them, and they send a 
van to take you where you need to go. I would not have any problem with such a 
service (actually I would like to see more "stingerettes" around)
and I would be happy to pay a fee for that. 
It is the Stinger proper which I do not like very much. Is it possible that 
young students "need" a bus to walk across campus during daytime ?
And why should all those who never use stinger pay a fee for that ?

Bye,

Paolo
