ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  CINDY PINKSTON/Staff. Diane Thomas (left) rides the 
          Valley Metro bus three or four times each week and depends on bus 
          service for transportation. The bus depends on local subsidies, but

          collections, cuts in federal and state funds and increasing demands 
          for big-ticket projects. color.
