Josh & Jade spoke with Sidney Mayor Cliff McNeil‑Smith about the airport bus debate, as the transit commission considers a May pilot. Sidney’s worried a Route 72 detour could undo recent Route 88 improvements  adding travel time and crowding for daily riders. 
The mayor breaks down what he’s hearing from residents, why even a short‑term pilot carries risks, and whether hybrid options like targeted airport trips could be a better fit for the Peninsula.
