I Wish We Had Service on the Fourth

Dang, I wish DART had at least limited service on the Fourth of July. They do offer the beach bus service:

The DART Route 305, Beach Connection, begins service on Friday, May 27, 2011, providing bus service from Wilmington to Rehoboth Beach on Friday nights, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays through September 5, 2011. Route 305 stops include Rodney Square, Wilmington Train Station, Christiana Mall, Smyrna Rest Stop, Scarborough Park & Ride lot in Dover, Super Wal-Mart in Milford, and the Rehoboth Park & Ride lot.

But what if you don't live within reasonable walking distance of Rodney Square or the train station? I guess you take a taxi ($$$), try to coerce a friend or family member into getting up early to drive you, or you're  just out of luck.

DART and the State of Delaware need to realize that if they want people to give up their cars and use public transportation, they will need to meet the Sunday and holiday travel needs of riders.
