Scott Taylor in Pilot

This morning's Hampton Roads section had a small article about Scott Taylor. It even has a small line about his HRT Video Blog, which I was the camera person for (for the curious, it was Route 15 heading inbound leaving Military Circle at 12:45 PM on a Saturday bound for Greenbrier Mall).

Scott Taylor's Bus Ride

Today, in an Ideas for HRT Exclusive, I had the honor of taking Scott Taylor, candidate for Mayor of Virginia Beach, on a ride around using HRT. His goal was to learn what the issues facing passengers were. Three things that kept on repeating:

• Run buses at night
• Run buses on Sundays
• Run buses more often than once an hour

Pictures from today (click the pictures for larger versions):




Later on tonight, look for Scott to vlog this trip from Route 15 (between Military Circle and College Park).

Tomorrow, look for a report from Henry Ryto on Scott's trip during the thick of evening rush hour.
