It's called marketing. Asked any successful company how they feel about it.

Whose money would a successful company spend in such a marketing campaign?
Successful companies market products that people might actually want. That is, they try to respond to an actual need in the marketplace.
Unlike city council, they are not engaged in behavior modification using taxpayer money.

Hooray trying to get more riders on the public transit system. Too many people in their cars on the roads of Asheville.
I am not sure from what he writes if Tim Peck is for or against the public transportation in Asheville. I get the impression that he doesn't like it for some reason. Am I wrong?

I am for individual liberty and against government interference in the marketplace.
