There was an article in one of the local newspapers on the mountain about overcrowding issues at the Mountain Garage. Apparently they're quickly approaching capacity and looking at solutions. As usual, the HSR wants to leave the current location and build a mega garage, more than likely somewhere on the mountain again. Why operations can't be split between the mountain garage and Public Works yard on Wentworth is beyond me. It would reduce the travel time for buses assigned to the lower city, decreasing fuel costs.
