DamienTalksSGV with Foothill Transit's Felicia Friesema: the latest on Foothill's proposed bus service and fare changes.

Late last month, Foothill Transit announced plans for its bus service to react to ridership changes caused by the opening of the first phase of the Gold Line Foothill Extension.

Our first editor, Damien Newton, will be back on the radio this afternoon at 1:45 p.m. discussing pedestrian safety at KNX News Radio 1070. We're not sure if the interview will be available again after the live broadcast, so if you want to listen in, be sure to tune your radio to 1070 AM or click here for an online broadcast. If you're joining us online, be sure to login a couple of minutes early as you have to sit through a couple of commercials first.
