GOOD IDEA: Job Fairs Bus for Town Residents.

Coming into work the other day, I noticed a unique service that Bristol, CT appears to be offering to their citizens in these hard times. (I was unable to find confirmation of this online, so I am working off of a sign posted by the road.) The city has set up a bus service at least once a week to bring out-of-work residents to local job fairs! The citizens simply have to get to the bus (located in a central point of town) and the bus will take them to job fairs set up by other organizations in nearby towns. Thus, an out-of-work person doesn't need to spend time scouring the papers looking for job fairs nor waste a lot of gas driving all over the state chasing them. They simply have to find a way to the bus, and will have their chance to meet with businesses with open positions.

Seems like a GREAT idea, and relatively inexpensive. Why am I not hearing about more towns doing similar things for their residents?
