This is insane. The whole point of the transit is to reduce traffic/parking issues. Why isn't the park running the shuttle?

"boycott" it

My brother hopped on the shuttle from Tenaya Lake to get back to the campground instead of play bocce and drink at the beach (he's weird, I know), no money on hand. Driver said they couldn't leave someone standing on the side of the road and let him ride for free.

I think if you're not at the store, you can plead pennyless and get a free ride. Everyone needs to do this b/c this is BS and the fact that they let this in during the contract review is full BS. The NPS is as much to blame as the concessionaire.
Lets ADD more traffic to the Meadows.

Another idea: kickstarter campaign to fund a company similar to Uber and Lyft, but which collects donations and pays the fares charged by local drivers or tourists (who gain employment or offsetting the cost of their vacation), and then the end consumers get the experience of a free shuttle.

Then show that the service operates at a lower net cost than Aramark, and that Aramark defrauds our taxpayers with waste and abuse, and that our NPS management is complicit in the corporate waste because it makes their management life simpler to have a single vendor.

The meadows is the easiest place to get a ride that I have ever hitch hiked

Just drive your car. If the traffic gets bad enough, the NPS will make the shuttle free, like they do in the Valley.

By the way, nothing is "free". If the shuttle bus becomes "free" it just means you already paid for it upon entering the park, or from your paycheck withholding.
