Time to get rid of fast ferry reservations

I can save Kitsap Transit 60 days and $80,000, and my idea is so simple — dump the reservation system. ("Transit eyes help in reservation system fix," Feb. 7)

It solves all of their problems and puts all of the riders on a level playing field. No more double booking. No more computer glitches. No more no-shows. No more abusing the system.

And the beauty of it is that everybody gets an equal opportunity to ride the boat their taxes are paying for — not just the computer savvy who are able to jump online the minute reservations open and greedily grab up every available seat and then nor show up.
