Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Alliance for AC Transit was originally a coalition of organizations that got together to support increased funds for AC Transit. Later, the coalition started the Bus Riders Union, intended to be a grassroots membership organization. A couple of years later, a number of people involved in both organizations decided it was pretty silly to have two separate organizations to do mostly the same thing, since the Alliance had stopped being an active coalition, mostly, and was primarily an organization of individuals. So the BRU was absorbed into the Alliance for AC Transit and the Alliance started using the name "Alliance for AC Transit / Bus Riders Union." -- Aaron Priven <aaron@priven.com>, www.priven.com
